Obviously nothing can happen right now without a CBA but I have really mixed feelings on this. Clausen's fine, but I need to get some draft pick back in return. Even if it's their 3rd round pick.

Interesting to note Snyder really wanted Clausen last year. Gotta wonder if he's not influencing this somehow. He's been pretty upset with Shanahan with how the whole McNabb situation was handled. He might be thinking "I let you get your guy last year, this year we're doing it my way"

I know it was just speculating but the last part about Snyder being involved is the worst part of this. We are in deep trouble if he is already interfering again. I can't see it though, Shanny thinks he's the smartest guy in any room he's in. Can't see any circumstance where he allows his owner to make any decision let alone the starting QB. As for the rumor itself...i think we all agree the compensation is rediculous. He was a #2 last year and if anything he's lost value. I would trade AH or Davis for him if Shanny & Allen really like him but all that for him is absurd. Vinny is no longer negotiating our trades...

This should've been its own April Fool's thread. Would've been much better than the Portis one.

No it was better in the other thread because I just fell for it today! The ones that are their own thread are easy to spot. In my defense i read it today and was not thinking April Fools day anymore.

You know I don't ever reveal my sources. I'm thinking there has to be more to it, I feel we're giving up too much for him if that info is true.

Well let's hope it's not true then.

[skinsfaninok]

But I did guess Clausen in my predictions

[skinsfaninok]

^ Clausen for haynesworth and Davis let them throw in a 4th rounder

April fools?

Even the guys at WalterFootball.com admit they made a big mistake about Clausen. Last year they couldn't say enough good things about him and now....

3. Gabbert seems to have good leadership qualities. Like Newton, he appears to have "it" - something that Jimmy Clausen lacks. I made a huge mistake when I underestimated how important it is not to be a loser in college. And I'm not just referring to wins and losses. Clausen is not a leader; conversely, he seems to have this Matt Leinart-esque sense of entitlement. There's just something missing with him.

I don't like this (Possible) deal at all.

I think ss is probably just messing with us. However I don't think it's that bad of a deal. haynesworth has the trade value of a ham sandwich. Like it or not, Fred Davis doesn't have much trade value either. And as long as Cooley is on the roster he's not that valuable to us. We don't have a legitimate starting qb and I don't like a single qb in the draft. There certainly aren't any id use our 1st or 2nd rounders on. I look at the trade as the best young qb available to us - a potential franchise qb -for a 2nd round pick and two players of little value to us.

If we could get them to send a 4th to us and get another 3rd or 4th for mcnabb, I'd be stoked about our draft.
