"Brian Orakpo: stays, unless we get a super awesome trade offer as outlined in other threads"


if this happens, I seriously will have second thoughts of acknowledging this organization as a legit NFL franchise. I am absolutely dumbfounded why this is even discussed or even thought of as a possible scenario. I will have serious reservations about rooting for this team if it gives away a possible serious playmaker on the defensive side of the ball. This guy commands respect from the offensive coord, and you have to account for him when he is on the field. Stupid to even think about it to be honest.

There's a good reason that fans are not front office personnel. Some of the 'trade speculation' put out on these boards is example #1.

I didn't mean that in the sense that I'd be happy to trade him. I'm fine with keeping him, because 2 pass rushers is wayyyy better than one, obviously. Even if one pass rusher only has one move that doesn't work against everybody. I meant it in the "trade offer from your wildest dreams" sense.
