It really irked me that Norv and Cooke let him go (his last year was as an Eagle) and replaced him with a poor man's Monk - Henry Ellard. Ellard played very well but ...

Monk turned down $600 K from us then we signed Ellard for $900 K.

I guess Ellard knew the offense and Monk was a slot guy by then which Norv did not really use.
