MaGahee to Baltimore
 

For 3 picks. 2 third rounders (one in '08) and a seventh. Seems like a pretty good deal for both sides.

Wow -- Ozzie Newsome is a great GM -- that is a huge upgrade over Jamal.

Re: MaGahee to Baltimore
 

That is a great move by the Ravens.

Re: MaGahee to Baltimore
 

I'm not a huge McGahee fan, but the Ravens got him for the equivalent of a 2nd rounder (pretty good).

Now that's a FO for ya!

Re: MaGahee to Baltimore
 

I wonder what the Bills will do at RB now.

Doesn't matter, they now have a $49 million guard!

My guess is they sign Sultan McCullough to a 5 year $94M deal with a $30M signing bonus.

Re: MaGahee to Baltimore
 

Maybe they will make a trade to move up in the draft to land Adrian Peterson?

Re: MaGahee to Baltimore
 

Well.... OJ needs the money... maybe the Bills could lure him out of retirement.

Re: MaGahee to Baltimore
 

Some rumors circulating that the Bills might send some of those picks to San Diego for Michael Turner.

I defer to TheWarpath.net San Diego Correspondent Jamf for more info

Re: MaGahee to Baltimore
 

turner would be a good move.

Re: MaGahee to Baltimore
 

I really like this move. I've always liked McGahee and the number of reasons to watch the Ravens is now growing. I'm still not sold just because I usually hate the obnoxious fans, but since I'll be moving to BMore, it might not kill me to have them on tv.

I wonder what Clinton Portis' value on the open market would be today? A #2?

I would think it would be a mid-to-low 1st rounder. McGahee's trade value was hurt by the fact that it was well known that he was looking for an out. Moreover, a team that traded for Portis would have him on a long-term deal with no dead money if they chose to cut him. Although Portis' deal is a pricey one in 2006 dollars, it's not so pricey today.

No way, more like a #1.
This year is going to be a statement year for CP I do believe.

Just think CP & LB that's one heck of a one, two punch. :Smoker:

Buffalo? they've trade darn near the whole team.
Trade BETTS are you kiddin? Why in the world would you think that's a smart move?
I sure don't.

Re: MaGahee to Baltimore
 

Betts for Dockery.

in my opinion, rock cartwright, or someone else, can handle the 8-10 carries a game that ladell betts is going to get. and he also fumbles alittle too much for my liking

Re: MaGahee to Baltimore
 

Trading Betts is our best move IMO. His value will never be so high and I trust Rock or Sellers to carry the load when he's out shortly. We could draft a RB late in this draft or next draft.

Re: MaGahee to Baltimore
 

i hate to admit it but i agree with dmek, not trading betts now does risk letting his stock drop considering his butter fingers. And last time i checked when rock stepped in for a couple carries he killed it.

Re: MaGahee to Baltimore
 

This is a good pickup by the Ravens.

Re: MaGahee to Baltimore
 

if we were going to trade betts, the value would have been better two weeks ago when more teams were still looking for backs.

Re: MaGahee to Baltimore
 

I wish two third rounders were all we had to give up for Portis.

I am sorry, but Rock will not be able to produce what Ladell can for us. Trading Betts would be a mistake. Portis, and Betts are going to be a great one-two punch for us next year.

when betts went down under spurrier, rock did pretty well. I don't think the YPC were very far apart.

Re: MaGahee to Baltimore
 

great move by baltimore. Newsome is a great gm. We give up the best cb and a number 2 pick for a a rb. Wish we could get newsome here. I hate baltimore but was a great move.

Re: MaGahee to Baltimore
 

Cartwright is a very solid back. The problem with trading Betts is that we would have to select a RB on day two to replace Betts on the roster. A guy who we can trust with carries if either Portis or Rock goes down.

Trading Ladell becomes an issue ONLY if Portis can't start a game. Rock could start in his place, but what happens when you want to run the ball 30 times a game? You are really stretching Rocks ability.
