Got_Wood Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 We happen to have quite a few safeties. One in particular might be valuable to the Chargers. Donte Whitner is that player. I have no problem at all going into this season with Byrd, Scott, Wilson, and Harris as our safeties. We're overloaded at the position to tell the truth, and if Nix can't recognize the value there he is sleeping at the wheel. Marcus McNeil is valuable to the Chargers as well. But, if we sent them Whitner, Bell/Meredith, and a draft pick we can get the deal done. They also recently signed Tra Thomas, so they have insurance at the position. As long as we can sign McNiel to a long term deal, we can get this done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill from NYC Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 2 Questions: 1) Who would take a 3rd for Whitner? 2) Could we get a 3rd for Whitner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 2 Questions: 1) Who would take a 3rd for Whitner? 2) Could we get a 3rd for Whitner. I wouldn't trade for McNeil. He's got spinal stenosis. Way too much of a liability to sign to a long-term deal, which would be a condition of any trade, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably never complain about his contract again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNeil is not 100% healthy and I am not sure how MADDEN rates him ... Frankly, I am liking everything that the Buddy front office has done so far ... and I am pretty sure they aren't about to trade multiple players and a draft pick for one guy.

silvermike Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I think I missed the gap where McNeill went from a top young LT to just another guy - was it injuries? Flash in the pan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I think I missed the gap where McNeill went from a top young LT to just another guy - was it injuries? Flash in the pan? As soon as he was considered for The Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 The Chargers also released Ian Scott...the Bills would be wise to pick him up for depth purposes. He's more of a traditional NT than Kyle Williams is and could at least give us much needed flexibility at NT with Kyle and Troup. Started a bunch of games for San Diego when Williams went down with various injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sure talks the talk but hasnt walked the walk yet to warrant anything significant in a trade. For now his best value is with the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got_Wood Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Why do you think anyone wants Whitner? He sure talks the talk but hasnt walked the walk yet to warrant anything significant in a trade. For now his best value is with the Bills. 1. They have NO talent at SS. 2. He is part of a package that would make the trade more attractive. I didn't say it was a straight up trade for Whitner. Right now, his best value is in a trade. Why? Because Scott, Wilson, and Harris don't have value in a trade, but have significant value as safeties on this team.

Green Lightning Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I wouldn't trade for McNeil. He's got spinal stenosis. Way too much of a liability to sign to a long-term deal, which would be a condition of any trade, I'm sure. Spinal Stenosis is as serious as a heart attack. It is the narrowing of the channel the spinal cord travels inside the back bone - either by some impingement or degeneration of the spinal vertebrae, which crushes in on the cord, causing numbness and loss of feeling in the limbs. In the extreme, it can cause paralysis. Treatment for mild stenosis is usually physical therapy, in more difficult cases, fusing vertebrae, metal bracing, disc replacement. In any case, getting walloped by a 300 pound lineman 40 times a game is not recommended. I’d proceed with caution before sinking mega bucks into a LT with any stenosis.

Started a bunch of games for San Diego when Williams went down with various injuries. That's right ... let's pick up every single veteran player that hits the pre-pre-season waiver wires because they have to be better than every single player on a team that played almost .500 football under a coach who didn't try to win. One third of the NFL was worse than the Buffalo Bills last year ... so we must have at least one or maybe two players who can compete ... but then again those waived guys might rank high on the MADDEN SCALE ...
