This has got to be one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. You take a guy who has been the most productive player on the defense for the last 5 years, and trade him -- because you don't think he is big enough.

I don't think it's a size issue. Parcells isn't the only coach in the league that likes big players...they all do. Given two players of equal ability, most coaches will take the bigger player. If you've heard him talk about Dat, you can hear the respect come out...on press conference he called him "a football playing son of a gun".
This is a case of getting a player at the toughest positon in football to fill besides QB. If we're going to play a 4-3, a pass rush end is much more valuable than a linebacker.
