The Quakes, at one point this off-season, had just 14 players under contract. They ditched a staggering five strikers, hired a new GM, and have promised to essentially tear up the team sheet and start over. We have no idea if Clarence Goodson is coming back. Tommy Thompson, Kofi Sarkodie, and Marvell Wynne are all in active contract negotiations with the club. No fewer than five major players have been linked to imminently sign for San Jose by ESPN’s Jeff Carlisle and our own David Barclay.
With all that instability, it was nearly impossible to figure out what the club might be thinking when it came to the SuperDraft.
