Re: Why not Fred Davis for Gaither?

Tight End has become a very important part of the passing game these days, but the idea that finding two very good Tight Ends easily is a bit of a reach. Look at Cincy, Bmore, KC, Cleveland, and the list goes on i'm sure. I like having both Davis and Cooley on the roster, but for a nice draft pick, I wouldn't mine seeing Cooley go bye bye!

Re: Why not Fred Davis for Gaither?

I would rather have either TE than Gaither..I am not sold on him....not at that price...if we get their backup TE too...that may be a better deal (of course I am assuming the guy is decent for a backup, I have no clue who it is)

Re: Why not Fred Davis for Gaither?

Let me get this right you want to trade a guy Davis who likes to play football looks like he as alot of potential for Gaither a guy who's rumored to have bad work habits & his heart really isn't in football anymore. Next year Gaither will be a free agent anyway & if Baltimore are looking to trade him, there's a fair chance they will cut him if there are no takers.

Let me get this right..this is the Fred Davis plummeted in the draft for poor work habits then SLEPT through his first practice. Im glad hes showing potential but he is entering his third season.
I will always hate that we drafted him right before desean jackson, who is a star.
No way at all that gaither gets cut.

For that matter, Vinny also drafted Malcolm Kelly when Ray Rice was there for the taking. Consider that he had taken Devin Thomas and Fred Davis earlier in the round. Ray Rice would look pretty good in B&G today.

Re: Why not Fred Davis for Gaither?

Gaither is a stoner. Not the worst thing in the world but for someone rumored to have two strikes against him I feel pretty good changing my mind about him.

Re: Why not Fred Davis for Gaither?

I wonder if New England would give us a #2 pick for a TE. They have like 3 of them and are suposedly shopping for a TE. This is not a rumor I read...just wondering.

I would give up my #4 for all of their 3 #2's. But i would only do it on draft day not before.

Re: Why not Fred Davis for Gaither?

Gaither has too many question marks as far as I am concerned to risk Cooley or Davis. I am not sure if he would fit into the ZBS as he is so big and apparently injury prone. I would rather take Okung for LT, and find a RT later in the draft or free agency.

Re: Why not Fred Davis for Gaither?

Why are we trying to get rid of a pro bowl TE and a up and coming stud TE in Davis. I say we just have to wait and see what happens on draft day. I would rather trade JC and Andre Carter for more picks to aquire a OL in the draft.

Re: Why not Fred Davis for Gaither?

why make a trade for a guy who is lazy and doesn't want to work? let's just draft our own LT and mold the guy.

Re: Why not Fred Davis for Gaither?

Carnage,

Besides that first mishap (and I know you've never accidentally over-slept) Fred Davis has done nothing but work, and work hard. Personally, I'd rather trade Cooley. I love the dude, but he's slightly older and would bring more value to the table. If Shanahan will actually use a lot of two TE sets, both as receivers, great. Keep both of them and look for mismatches. Otherwise, we need to trade one to build other, weaker, areas of our team.
