I have no idea if draft choices where included or if the Cardinals plan on re-doing Henrys contract. This is the first time that this person has actually given me any information like this so I don't know if they are just pulling my leg. I apologise in advance if this news turns out to be bunk. __________________ "Anquan Boldin . . . Freddie Jones . . .

Well done. As for the substance of the news - can't say its all that surprising. This is of course "unofficial" news as the actual announcement of any trade (or the signing of any documents regarding same) needs to wait until March 2. -------------------- "Into this frothing sea of adversity flowed a red tidal wave of fury. Cardinal red. A dominating force of inevitability, unleashed upon a field of destiny. Red as the flowing blood of courage, red as a mighty torrent of rage, this wave would obliterate all in its path. And in the end, that which remained would be cast in the crimson shadow of victory. This would be a red day. A Cardinal day." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 273 | From: Phoenix, AZ | Registered: Dec 2004 | IP: Logged fitz11 Pro-Bowler Member # 5703 posted 02-21-2005 08:18 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i hope we get Henry -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 1176 | Registered: Dec 2004 | IP: Logged cardinalsfan Member Member # 6101 posted 02-21-2005 08:55 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not sold on getting Travis Henry but it would open up our options in the draft.

There are plenty of those in FA. If we do get Travis and can turn our attention to something else in the draft, I think we should really consider Derrick Johnson, or trading down to get Thomas Davis to replace Ohalete. -------------------- nflcrackdown.com www.cardinalsnest.cjb.net If the Cardinals win a Super Bowl under Dennis Green, I will have his name tattooed on my as$. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 1217 | From: NEZ Sec. 19 | Tucson, AZ | Registered: Aug 2004 | IP: Logged AussieCardinal Member Member # 2860 posted 02-21-2005 09:47 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by idahiancardsfan: i hope this isn't true. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- so do i! -------------------- -LT Phoenix Cardinals: The Thunder From Down Under! #34 Pre Season Stats; Pancakes: 6, Sacks Allowed: 0 -Australia's only ARIZONA CARDINAL fan!! and proud of it!! -Alabama Crimson Tide OWN the Vols ----------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CajunBillsBacker Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 If this is credible and comes true I wonder what happens to Jonas? 247994[/snapback] I think this trade is legit, and it's not happening with the mindset of moving him to Guard and resigning Jennings. I think Jennings is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodnarb Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 well, I hope we can still keep jonas with an eye toward Shelton being our new LG. They say he's a dominant run blocker. Is he related to Daimon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMIEBUF12 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 wow i hope this is really true,rarely do you see player for player trades in the nfl and rarely do you see trades that help both teams equally,i mean if we pick up a left tackle with money we basically had earmarked for a player that was already on our roster than this is a great move go bills in'05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clumping platelets Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 If the Bills do a simple restructure of Shelton's $3 million salary, the trade basically is cap neutral because both players are in the top 51 Henry cap number: $1.35 million ($1.25 million salary + $100,000 proration) Shelton's cap number: $3 million each of the next 4 yrs Shelton's minumum salary for his NFL experiece is $665,000 Convert $2.335 million ($3 million - $665,000) to signing bonus. It gets prorated over 4 yrs at $583,375/yr. Shelton's 2005 cap number is now $665,000 + $583,375 = $1,248,750 Cap savings from Henry: $1.25 million Cap hit for Shelton: $1,248,750 Bills save $1,250 on cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BF_in_Indiana Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 This deal works out great for us. We will get a player that can help us now. I would like to see him moved to LG and then if we can resign Jonas our line is better than last year. Then we can sign a TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
