[SBXVII]

I am not advocating trading more then we have to...I simply said I would not trade more then a 1st this yr and something lower next. Some one made it sound like it was going to be a 1st this yr and a 1st next yr. I would say no go.

Some people on here seem to think CJ is the anti christ. He is evil or something. I think he is far better then T.O. was when he had his problems and look how he turned out. He has towed the line while at Dallas. Look at Moss who had his problems at Minni. and Oakland. Since being with NE he has towed the line. I think CJ likes to have fun and enjoy the game. No different then Portis was coming out of Denver with his WWF belt and all his antics with the media(dressing up).

Some one mentioned the CAP hit Cincy would take. Yea your right. but if I'm not mistaken he could seriously help Cincy out if he truely wants out by paying some of the money back. I do believe one of our very own (Arrington) did this very same thing in order to get out of his contract. So....it can be done and don't think Snyder would not front the money for CJ to pay back to Cincy in order to leave.

I like Betts alot also. but...I'm simply saying this is a trade that could (not will) occurr. It would not hurt us either. We have other just as talented RB's that could fill Bett's roll. Run, Run, fumble. You can also suppliment fumble with dropped pass. The only thing I have ever liked about Betts is that fact he is not afraid to run up the middle and take a hit. Other then that I'll say what I have always said. Bett's is not the leading RB because he has a tendency to leave the ball on the grass. Occassionally. Now the question is can Rocky fill in Bett's roll or would we have to draft someone? Rumor has it the Skins have looked at a FB/RB.

Trust me I think we have other needs as well I'm interested in a DE/DT but I'm betting if they don't pick that it will be a Safety (just a feeling). but I'm also not going to say CJ would not help us out. I believe he would help us more then hurt us. He's tall so jump balls in the end zone might be taken care of with him. He's fast creates another problem for defenses. He can seperate from DB's on his routes. and last but not least no one can argue his numbers. I don't know if he would put up those numbers with us but clearly if we had to throw we would not have a problem doing so. Especially with speedy Moss, shifty El, Cooley, and Portis all to throw to. Someone has to be able to get open. They certainly could not double Moss anymore and would more then likely double CJ. Leaving Moss to tear up the second or third string DB. Teams would be forced to play more nickle probubly and Portis or perhaps Sellers would have a ball.
