a train has been in the league 3 years. 2 of those years he has over 1,000 yards and a 4 ypc average or better. id say hes an upgrade over minor big time

[QUOTE=Kevikazi](Sorry...I don't know how to start a new thread, so I'm posting it here.) DE Tony Brackens was released by Jags. I think he would be good pickup for a veteran's minimum wage. I know he's got knee problems, but I think he still could be solid player for our D-Line.[/QUOTE]

Go to the main locker room page: [url]http://www.thewarpath.net/forumdisplay.php?f=2[/url]

You'll see a blue button in the upper left "New Thread" click on that

If he's cheap, yeah I suppose Brackens wouldn't hurt. I'm actually not all that concerned from what I've seen of our line so far

do you guys think that with two blockbuster trades within one offseason, we're going to see an increase of player for player (and a pick here or there) trades in the NFL? I think the Portis/Bailey swap kind of woke everyone up to the FA alternative. I don't think it will turn into the NBA, but I can definitely see a trend towards trading.

I've alwasy wondered why there weren't more player for player trades in the NFL. I hope that they do happen more often because it is interesting when they happen. I've always thought that getting a proven player rather than a draft pick would be better for teams anyway.

This year alone we've seen Bailey and a 2 for Portis, Keyshawn for Galloway and Booker and a 3 for Oguneleye. It's exciting when they happen and hope more NFL teams follow suit.

And again, it's little Danny Snyder leading the way. I do think the guy has skills in the FO, so long as he stays out of the coaches' way and listens to his football people. Let's hope he continues to do so!

After reading this I remember waking up to the Herschal Walker trade for the vikings next 17 years of draft picks, cash, first borns, and some left over meatloaf......

I thought the leftover meatloaf in that deal was Herschel... :cheeky-sm

damn the vikings for giving the 'boys a few championships with those pics

That Guy:

When Danny Boy merely steps on other people's toes, it will be a major improvement for him.

He has made his name in the annals of NFL owners/GMs/poobahs by stepping on his own crank. :D
