I thought it was interesting when they had Wayne Fontes talking with Sanders, and Fontes said he tried to get late career Joe Montna (going to Lions instead of Chiefs) and Warren Moon to come in, but the GM said they were too old. I didn't follow the Lions at all back then, but if true that sure sounds like a really interesting "What if..." scenario. They called Fontes the ultimate salesman, so maybe he was just saying that to make himself look better. But it's all interesting nonetheless.
