Shorttynaz Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I was just watching Sportscenter and Adam Schefter (sp?) was talking about trades that SHOULD be made - but wont be. Very interesting, and they all would make sense. I suppose this is more fantasy than what will happen. Just curious on the thought process here. I think every one of them make perfect sense - but teams really don't trade in the NFL as the deadline approaches. #1 - San Diego trades Shawne Merriman to New England for a 2nd round pick. #2 - Cleveland trades Brady Quinn to Carolina for a "conditional" 4th round pick. #3 - KC trades Dwayne Bowe to Baltimore for a 2nd and 5th round pick. #4 - Buffalo trades Terrell Owens to the Bears for a "conditional" 4th round pick. #5 - Panthers trade Julius Peppers to San Fransisco for a 1st round pick. The one I like the most is #3. Baltimore is still pretty desperate for a solid young WR to develop with Flacco. This would be a deadly combo for several years to come.

Belushi Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 For the most part, those don't make any sense. 1. SD still considers itself a playoff team, and they may have to face NE in the playoffs. Why would you trade to a contender? It would be different if they were rebuilding, but they're not. 2. If Cleveland trades Quinn, what do they have at QB for the future? Anderson is owed lots of money but isn't the answer, and they just spent a high pick on Quinn. It would mean they'd have to spend another high pick at QB. I don't see them giving up on him yet. 3. Bowe is one of the bright spots on a team that is rebuilding, and is young. Why would they trade him? 4. TO should probably be moved, so I agree with this one. 5. Probably makes sense for both teams.

Ursa Majoris Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 TO in Chicago? He's done - the Bears passing game is beginning to bear fruit with Knox, Hester and, when he gets fully assimilated, Olsen. The Bears don't need a has been cancer hanging out at Soldier Field, thank you very much. Not only that, Denver already has all our picks for the next four years.

No but it would make us Packer fans pretty happy. In Cleveland I think Mangini likes Ratliff as a back up. Trading Quinn for a 4th seems cheap.

matt770 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 As someone who has really disliked T.O. over the years, seeing what is happening in Buffalo and his various outbursts lately (which are getting fewer and fewer headlines because well, it's Buffalo) is hilarious. He may as well be playing in Canada. I hope he ends his career up there in obscurity, talk about poetic justice. Won't happen though.

STL Fan Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I'd like to see the Rams trade SJax for, well, the whole New orleans offense. Hey, when Ditka was there they traded the whole draft for one guy, right? It could happen. Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke davenport Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 As someone who has really disliked T.O. over the years, seeing what is happening in Buffalo and his various outbursts lately (which are getting fewer and fewer headlines because well, it's Buffalo) is hilarious. He may as well be playing in Canada. I hope he ends his career up there in obscurity, talk about poetic justice. Won't happen though. TO has not been good, but neither has the front office, the coach, the QB, or the offensive line. But playing here is not to play "in obscurity." Buffalo remains a hell of an NFL town, with full fan support, and one of the best AFL success stories in league history. The franchise just needs to blow up and start anew. And FWIW, TO has pretty much been a model citizen, donating a great deal of time and money to local food pantries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 TO has pretty much been a model citizen, donating a great deal of time and money to local food pantries. Well I would hope so. He's stealing $6.5M from the Ralph Wilson this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackass Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Brady Quinn to Minnesota for Tarvaris and a carton of Marlboros. Can NFL Teams trade with the UFL? If so, that might be a good spot for both of those guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampnuts Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Carolina would trade Peppers for any respectable offer right now. His cap number killed them this past offseason and there's no way they franchise him again. The fans hate him for the most part, which doesn't help the overall situation either.

piratesownninjas Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Aaron Kampman for A. Offensive Tackle B. Defensive End to start opposite Jenkins C. An OLB suited for 3-4 D. A freaking saftey to start over whoever is filling in for Bigby Kamp just flat out doesn't fit the 3-4 at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
