    Turner's price has went down.

    I am well aware of how compensatory picks work, gentlemen. Have any of you followed the Chargers in free agency? Do a search and you will see that AJ Smith RARELY signs free agents. And when he does, it is never the big name/big contract types. Seeing that we have 26 core players signed through 2009, I seriously doubt that AJ is going to buck his current trend of building through the draft and go on a wild spending spree in free agency. I also have little doubt that Turner is going to tear this league up as a feature back.

    You can't expect to get a 3rd rounder, or even a pick at all. All it will take is for the Chargers to sign ONE UFA next year and they won't get anything for losing Turner. Of course the Chargers could lose other players, but if what you say about most players being under contract is true, that's about as guaranteed as getting a 3rd rounder for Turner.

    FWIW, I wouldn't want to give a first for him either. But like I said previously, AJ doesn't BS. He has made comments that lead me to believe that anything less than a first THIS YEAR is a deal breaker. Also, like I said previously, I hope we keep him regardless of compensation. But I feel that this whole process has gone too far to come back.
    Everything is negotiable. And talk is cheap. Given that the odds are heavily stacked against the Chargers winning the SB next year, AJ needs to determine if getting something for Turner, even if it's a lot less than he wants, is better than getting nothing a year later.
    Trading for Turner this year will cost (cap wise) a lot less than trying to sign him next year.

    In salary, but not draft picks. The Bills are fine WRT the cap so it's not an issue, whereas retainining as many quality draft picks as they can IS.

    I disagree that it wasn't intentional or was an honest mistake. First of all, black people are varying shades of brown, so the association IS there. It's not like they called it "honkey brown," which would have made NO sense whatsoever. But I've never heard of "African-American" brown, much less "black" brown, much MUCH less "N*^%$#" brown. Have you? Is there nothing brown in China except for black people, and are all black people there the same color as those pieces of furniture? Basically the intention WAS there.

     

    Second of all, it's not like you go to your handy-dandy Chinese-American dictionary, look-up "African American," and get the N word. Or maybe it's Chinese Thesaurus that's the problem?

    AJ Smith will take Marv to the cleaners

    :unsure:WHO are you talking to..? Don't put words in my mouth. Go back and read my post before you step into something. I don't know where in hell you got those comments about "being taken to the cleaners." It's from someone else post. GO BACK AND READ THEM ALL BEFORE YOU JUMP ON SOMETHING...!

    Get back to me when you have your story straight. :thumbsup:

    Buffalo Sabres- The draft

    Like the Penguins? Fleury taken #1 overall in '03, Malkin taken #2 overall in '04, Crosby taken #1 overall in '05, and Stall taken #2 overall in '06. That was easy.

    It's a real shame that all that talent is gonna take a backseat to the Sabres' dominance over the next few years. :wallbash:
