There's one big problem with this.We don't have a 3rd or a 4th.So you think Detroit is going to go for our 3rd or 4th next year?I am willing to bet they want a pick this year.

I pray he goes to Denver. If the Lions want a 3rd this year (which we don't have), we'll have to give up next year's 2nd. If the Lions want a 4th this year (which we don't have), we'll have to give up next year's 3rd.

Moreover, Bly will be 30 before the season starts.

So my best friend is a Jets fan, and he belongs to the GangGreen Message board (pretty much the Jets equivalent of the Warpath, but nowhere near as good :-)). He said there is talk all over the place of Portis and #6 pick to the Jets for Vilma and the #25 pick. And we all know our history of doing business with the Jets. What about this deal? I could do it.. Vilma is the best young middle linebacker in football. And with the 25th pick we could possibly get DE like Jarvis Moss from Florida or Anthony Spencer from Purdue. Then just resign Duckett and start Betts?? This might be worth a seperate thread...

I moved to Florida from DC 7 years ago (I'm moving back this July thank God), and I don't have the benefit of any Redskins radio. I heard Adalius Thomas is very high on our radar as well?? Can anyone confirm?

Portis for Vilma MAYBE, but if they want Portis and the Skins to move down 19 picks in the first round they're on crack! That's a horrible trade. That better be Portis and the 6 for Vilma, the #25 and their 2nd and maybe 4th/5th round picks. That would be a horrible deal for the Skins. If that happens my fan card might get turned in!

I agree. They'd have to sweeten the pot with another decent pick or two. But Vilma is only 24, and has proven he's a great leader, he has played with several Redskins at the U, and he's a tackling machine. He can be a perennial candidate for defensive MVP. I believe he is the next great middle linebacker in the NFL. Portis is the man and all, but draft picks aside, I'd rather have a Vilma than CP 1 for 1. Especially with Betts already resigned for a much smaller contract than Portis has. Plus we have the ability to bring Duckett back as well should Portis leave.

This rumor fluctuates back and forth between Portis and Betts seemingly every week. Portis and Betts have apparently been "traded to every team in the NFL. Heck there are probably teams in other sports rumored to have traded for them.

As for Duckett, I've heard some rumors he's already headed elsewhere (as in there's a team out there that will pretty much sign him rather quickly)

As for Bly, the Broncos are a strong possibility but I suspect there's another team we're not hearing about yet.

God...what if the Broncos picked both of them up? Talk about taking us to the cleaners in 2007.
