[quote=Beemnseven;691277]Not following the logic here. If they take Okung, what does that have to do with Haynesworth?[/quote]

Detroit needs an OT and a DT. If they take Okung, then they won't be able to draft Suh. Haynesworth fills the need at DT.

Re: Draft News for the Warpath
 

I wouldn't read too much into the trades for Haynesworth...Shanny is smart, he may not want a cancer on his team but he is going to either keep Haynesworth and make him play NT b/c if nothing else AH's stock is going to fall if he keeps up his bitching and he'll realize that a better contract will not be forthcoming. And if a trade does happen, I would not accept anything less than a 1st rounder or multiple 2nds.

I still think some kind of package to send AH to New Orleans for Brown would be the best straight up deal.

Re: Draft News for the Warpath
 

If we trade AH for a 3rd rounder we will be called the Ass-skins! & we will probably deserve the name IMO. DON'T TRADE AH, DON'T TRADE AH.

Re: Draft News for the Warpath
 

I don't like AH for a 3rd period. That is terrible compensation. Not even worth the time and a slap in the face to the FO for offering such a low pick for the best DT in the game.

I can say honestly that I don't agree with the FO to make this pick.

I still don't understand how can anyone call Haynesworth a cancer, when we have Rocky bitching at getting tendered, we had Portis calling out Sellers and asking for him to be replaced, we've had Springs (who is a good guy) completely disappear in the offseason and getting called out by his own teammates about it. I'm not saying he's a saint, but some people are being over dramatic about it.

Re: Draft News for the Warpath
 

A 3rd for Haynesworth and a 5th for Rocky? The FO can't really be that stupid...

Or can they? If Shanny is really as stubborn about people bowing to his will 100% I can totally see him trading people away for much less than they should get for not showing up to a voluntary mini-camp. Let's hope like hell I'm wrong....

Re: Draft News for the Warpath
 

[quote=CRedskinsRule;691259]A question: Let's say we are in the 2nd round, and the Saints offer to do some trade for Brown. IF it includes Rocky, do we have to get him to sign his tender before we could make that trade? or do we hold his rights for trade purposes without him signing. I just wonder how that works within the time constraints of the draft?[/quote]I think it would be the famed "agreement in principle" that would allow us to time it up well. I doubt any paperwork goes through til Monday, which would give plenty of time for a tender to be signed.

Being stubborn is one thing. Being foolish is another.

Until Schefter reports it, I don't believe it will happen.

^^thanks, i guess that makes sense.

Rocky for a 5th? Maybe. AH for just a third? Seems unlikely.

He might give away some folks for cheap. But don't forget that he once traded an uncooperative running back for the best corner in the game and a 2nd rounder to boot.

I wouldn't be adverse to the first part of that trade happening a second time.

I'd be fine with AH for Brown because Brown is a Pro Bowl calibre OT. That would also fill a critical need for us and free us up to do whatever we want with the #4 pick.
