Anyone else pissed that Cleveland got a 5th rounder for Andre Davis?

We couldn't keep him longer - we needed his salary to sign our rookies.

We had also made it pretty clear very early that we would try to move him, both to satisfy his desires and fix our cap. That lowered the incentive for a team to give us much in return, since he had to go eventually.

I actually think its a steal for the pats. I've been a fan of andre davis' since his days at va tech. I don't know why the Falcons were trying to do this trade because him and vick has awesome chemisty at tech. I heard the Eagles tried to offer him a 7th rounder, but took New England's 5th rounder. I believe Andre Davis could be a 1,000 yard reciever if he could stay healthy. I think he was just in a bad situation in Cleveland.

YEah, I thought he kicked ass at Tech too, as I am a Hokie myself. However, Gardner has proven his worth in this league. I'll tell ya another college player that has surprisingly done very little, that's Quincy Wilson from WVU. That guy literally RAN OVER Va Tech and Miami, he was a stud. He landed on the Falcons practice squad and now he's 3rd string on the Bengals.

If you're still down in the Burg, I'm always drinking at BWW and would grab a beer sometime during the Skins games.

Imagine you are an NFL GM. You need to pick up a WR for your team who has some game experience.

Available at the moment are Andre Davis and Rod Gardner. Which one do you sign?

I'd take Davis in a heartbeat and maybe that's why he drew a higher price than Gardner. He's a better player than Gardner - - even though neither one is spectacular.

The biggest mistake we've made in the front office is trading coles it forced our hands by taking the cap hit. We basically gave Coles to the Jets for his yearly contract. By the way did anyone see him and Pennington tear it up against the Vikes...he looked great.

Coles isn't going to do anything spectacular for the Jets. He will not have a 1000 yds. in receiving and definintlely will not lead in TDs. Most Jets fans feel like we got the best end of the deal with Santana Moss. Sure Moss has had hamstring problems but no way near the kind of problem Coles has with the toe. I'll take Moss anytime with his speed on the deep ball over Coles.
