NFL Trade Deadline Rumors Swirl; Whether They Make Sense is Another Story

Oh man..Owens in Chicago? Don’t do it, Jerry! Please??

Chicago certainly could use a real number 1 receiver. Calling Hester a true WR1 is like saying Reggie Bush can handle being an every down back with no committee.

Wow, the Buffalo Bills fanbase already has 1 foot out the door.  Now you are talking about trading the man they brought in to sell the season.  Want to see an entire fanase turn their backs on the team, make this move. 

how about towens to oakland.

Great idea SCURDS, hell who needs to go to the games, if I could just hang around that locker room and press conferences….

That would definately be much more entertaining than watching that team play.

TO in the most dysfunctional locker room and organization in the NFL, for a long time now.

Selfish of me actually to even think it.  Don’t really need to see any more TO struggles with teams and media for entertainment.  I would rather him go out on a good note. 

Guy has HOF numbers, time to recognize the players talents and hopefully he will retire before putting himself in nothing but bad situations.

Edwards performance on Monday night football was no different then his performances on Monday Night Football last season with Cleveland. It was the other thirteen games that was a problem.

I have always said that a QB can’t throw the ball right to him. If he does, Edwards will more then likely drop it. Throw it high, throw it low, but don’t throw it right to him.

I think one should wait and see before stating Edwards being traded has cured his dropsies and he’s a new man now.

Can’t evaluate the trade unless you know what is being offered on both sides.  TO to Bears, but what do the Bills get?

I expect TO to show up if the trade goes through.  I say do it.  The Bears know their Defense cannot hold up this year with Urlacher out.  Only way to win is to outscore the opponent.  TO should be able to free up Forte some more.

The Brady Quinn trade will not result in anything to either side this year. 

Hunterho, right on for the reasons Chicago should trade for T.O. Their defense is not the same and outscoring everyone will have to win games.

The Bills cant afford to hold onto T.O. If they get offered at least a 4th and a 5th round pick for him, they need to take it. Both teams will be winners.

As long as T.O. shuts up like he has been, I wouldn’t mind seeing him with the Bears, check out the NFL Week 5 Recap at www.theidealsportsblog.com

Hey chiadam- Gotta agree TO would be a negative for Chicago.

Quinn would be better than Boller in St Louis.

Anybody who trades for Owens are complete idiots.  He is not a team player but an extremely selfish player.  He is disliked by virtually everybody, from teammates to fans.  He is a disruptive presence in the clubhouse.  Not to mention, he is highly unstable as a person.  Too many negatives to count.  On the other hand, if you dislike the Bears, you pray for this to happen.  Cutler is a baby.  Waaaaaa.  A professional
who can’t take competition is no professional at all.  Put them both together and what do you get?  Fireworks!!  Good for the rest of the Central.

Washington Heights.  That is an interesting few statements, disliked by virtually everybody, didn’t realize you knew everybody.  Disliked by you, obviously.  But quite often he has masses of teamates coming out in support of him and as for the fans, he brings excitement to the field and if he is catching balls you’d like that. 

As for the notion the Bills can’t hold on to TO, that is wrong also.  The Bills don’t HAVE to give TO up if the offer is a 4th or 5th.  If he can give a team that edge, I like the way "Too many negatives to count" means he doesn’t take an offense to a whole new dimension.  He isn’t the reason the Bills are garbage. 

For those keeping score at home, he hasn’t made a peep all season on a team that is performing pitifully.  But your probably right, he would wait to get on a team that contends before blowing it up. 

Let’s lump Edwards into the superstar category simply because he performed well in his new uniform. I say give it a while before stroking his ego. Anyway, I would take Quinn on the 49ers but not sure if I would start him unless we start losing again. Last week was just one game and we get Gore back which should open up the short pass for Hill again.

As far as T.O. the Bears are better off without having two monster egos in the locker room otherwise they might shoot themselves in the foot.

First, I think it would be very smart for the Bills to deal TO asap. They arnt going to the super bowl this year, and the world is patiently waiting for him to blow up and bring down a franchise, maybe a couple years away from contention, to the dark pit that Oakland and Cleveland call home. He is at his max value now, before that happens.
Second, how about Quinn to the Vikings? They have Favre until the end of next year, if he should choose to play next year which is highly unlikely. If the Vikes win a super bowl he’s done, if they dont..we all dance for a few months wondering. Why not pick up Brady for minimul value and have him not only waiting in the wings, but waiting behind and learning from one of the best qb’s of al time. They arnt going to have a high enough draft pick to get a top tier qb this year or next either way, plus they skip that whole college to nfl transition time that most qbs need to go through…and at the cost of what? A 3’rd round pick? or an expendable player on a roster that has a few to offer? Minnesota has quietly gone though one of the longest "long term franchise quarterback" whithdrawls in the history of the league. They make a living off of old declining qbs to make them legit for a year or 2 time and time again. Warren Moon, Randell Cunningham…Gus Ferrote, and now Favre. It works for a year or two, but with the team they have the time is now to get a high potential qb. The team is going to start to disinigrate over the next few years if they dont give their players a reason to stay longterm, and drafting a rookie qb is highly unlikely to yeaild those results. It seems like a win win to me. Le me know what you guys think.

T.O. will meet his match with Cutler in Chicago if they don’t see eye to eye. T.O. has never had a QB actually stand up to him and put him in his place. Cutler would do that. Hell Cutler wouldn’t throw him the ball if T.O. pissed him off, even if he was wide open.

Quinn to Rams. T. O. to Oakland. Get draft picks/ and or $ in return. The Manggofball QB Flip-flopping has GOT to end. (so does Mangoofs career as head coach, but that’s another entirely different story) and as far as T.O. goes, he needs to be near another psycotic, that would be Al Davis.
