Cunning Runt Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I've heard the same rumors most of you have probably. I grabbed Chris Ivory and LeGarrett Blount for laughs just in case one or both happened to get moved. Sounds like their contracts are the most tradable anyway. I can drop 'em again if nothing shakes out, which it probably won't. Anybody hearing anything on either of these two guys specifically but really about any trades of note?

delusions of grandeur Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) Hoping that Jared Cook gets traded. Out of the teams who could use him, couldn't see a worse situation than Tennessee. Hell, now that the Tebow-dementia, err sorry, mania has worn off, I'd love to see that experiment and circus continue in Jacksonville... But then who will Ryan have to play special teams?

WashingtonD Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 So rare an nfl trade of any significance happens its hard to seriously speculate. In big names bowe seems most likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckDuckGoose Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Only names I've heard would be: Steve Smith (CAR) Steven Jackson (STL) DeAngelo Williams (CAR) Tim Tebow (NYJ) Brandon Jacobs (SF) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingfootball Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I read a rumor on facebook that the Chiefs are going to trade Bowe for Vick. But I havent found anything to back it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Wow - not a single response. Great boards here anymore. Nobody has heard much concrete so they're not posting. You said you've probably heard the same rumors as others, so most didn't bother to post the rumors they've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euphy Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Steven Jackson to the Packers makes the most sense. If the Packers don't make the trade, they will be drafting another RB in the draft after NOT making the playoffs. They should have gotten Lynch a few years ago.

You said you've probably heard the same rumors as others, so most didn't bother to post the rumors they've heard. Well, considering this is a fantasy football message board, I would certainly think that over the course of several hours, someone might at least reply with something...anything. There are some players being talked about that could make a difference fantasy-wise if something were to go down. My post was more an observation of the quality of these boards anymore. Just not nearly the resource it used to be. I pay here, but I very infrequently even look at the paid content. I scour the boards for tidbits and ask questions I hope to get responses to and when there are no responses whatsoever, it makes me wonder. I know you're newer here, but I can assure you this place used to be much more active and useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudolefty Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Been real quiet. Haven't see anything go down either. Was hoping DeAngelo Williams would get traded but nothing doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assumed nobody was posting because they had nothing concrete. Short of a team announcing a trade it is all speculation and rumor.

stevegrab Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Aqib Talib traded to New England Just in time for his return from suspension. Wasn't TB CB Eric Wright suspended for a similar infraction, which would leave them pretty thin at DB? Bump WR/TE playing the Bucs D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas I think no one was posting 'cause there's hardly anyone left to post. Another site I visit has had nearly 40 posts since yesterday about trade rumors, thoughts, etc... and this one on the other hand has had very few with 4-5 being a discussion about why so few posts.

Seahawks21 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I prefer discussion, however unlikely a trade actually happening might have been, vs. apathy a 100 times out of a100. I'll play along. Blount isn't going to get traded, Williams isn't going to get traded, Bowe isn't going to get traded, Tebow isn't going to get traded, Ivory isn't going to get traded. Happy?
