Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread

Yeah that would be too good to be true. We wouldn't do that deal anyway, but I think Cleveland might be just desperate to do something like that.

SmootSmack implied that there had been some trade rumours involving Cleveland and Campbell but that they were long since dead (well, dead since last weekend).

As far as I know Cooley has not been rumored to be part of any trade, some teams have asked about Rogers but I don't think we're willingly giving him up. We're not looking to trade him so much as willing to listen.

As for Campbell and Cleveland, yes there were some rumors and it pretty much died this weekend. The Seahawks and Browns basically agreed on a deal for Wallace this weekend, when that happened the Campbell trade talk died. Could be related, could be coincidence.

I'm a bit surprised neither Campbell nor Rogers (nor Rocky) for that matter have any scheduled visits (that I know of) anywhere.

Yeah I was thinking that as well; but then I didn't know if RFA's traveled much in the offseason as they may be looking to stay where they are and not to waste much effort in person. I mean why schedule a guy for a visit if it's not likely that you get him? I don't know.

well cleveland just traded for seneca wallace. doesnt seem like our front office is pulling any triggers, I assume they want to make sure they get appropriate value. strange feelings, struggling with newly required patience, this off season!

Wallace is one of "Holmgren's guys" from their together time in Seattle.

[GusFrerotte]

Forget Quinn, but the others might be serviceable.

[The Goat]

I don't see trade w/ Cleveland making sense. They have very little to offer and Mike likes to draft talent so he's very unlikely to trade picks for players...especially our players.

I was just wondering, what if the trade is not with the Browns. What if there is a trade in the works, word is leaked or slips out but we speculate it's the Browns and it's not. The front office can deny that a trade is in the works with the Browns but yet not be lying.

It's just a fabrication but what if we have a gentlemans agreement with the Rams for them to pick up Bradford and we pick up a player they would be interested in at our pick. We get stuck with the high cost of a #1 pick, trade Campbell to them for Bradford, and give them the pick they wanted at #4 at a lower cost? I know it sounds far fetched but the Rams have been looking into moving out of the pick, and it was rumored they were interested in Campbell. The only positive spot to get Bradford is at #1 otherwise we don't know what the teams prior to us or our trading team are going to want to do. Plus this gives the Rams two players or basically two picks for the #1 spot. They would get Campbell and whoever they wanted us to draft at #4.

It was also rumored that this might be their HC's last year. Supposedly their front office/ownership was not happy with how their season ended and rumor has it he has next year to turn it around. Why would the HC want to chance his job on a Rookie QB when he could get a proven commodity at a reasonable price in Campbell and a draft pick to fill another hole?

I'm not saying I agree with this or if the trade value is even comparable. I was just wondering if any of you other fans thought of this and or perhaps if those with the resources might want to explore this in regards to trade rumors. We would get the player Shanahan covets, the Rams get a decent QB and a player of another spot they need.

This makes a lot of sense, would really make sense if Al Saunders were still in St. Louis. Given the skins rebuilding of sorts, getting the rookie qb would seem to make sense if they really like Bradford. I just wonder if the Rams really don't think Bulger has it for another couple years. If Bulger is healthy JC isn't an upgrade over him.

this deal would also likely entail a new contract for JC. Would the Rams be willing to pay him? how much?
