Mike32282 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I'd give the Cardinals a 6th or 7th rounder or maybe even a conditional pick next year along with Travis Henry if they give us LJ Shelton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that they're trying to make us look desparate does not sit well with me. The Bills should cut em loose and start dealing with the Raiders. I'm not worried about the O line. They WILL get a couple of quality FA starters in here one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brihs2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I don't think you're panicking, because it might be a neccessity right now.... 258430[/snapback] I don't think its time to freak out at all. Get this, from the middle of our line to the right side we are pretty dang good. Teague, CV, MW. Heck all we need to do is run right every running play, and roll right every passing play and we should be in good shape. While we are at it, since we won't be using the left side of the field at all, we might as well just put more seats on the away side of the Ralph. Probably can put another few sections all the way to the current out of bounds line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I would offer a 3rd round pick in 06. With Henry continuing to pout, this might not be enough anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_fan Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I would offer a 3rd round pick in 06. Amen. We need a friggin LT. Not McFarland, Peters or Teague. When JP gets mauled next year from the left side we can all blame TD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 You are pannicking. TD never puts all his eggs in one basket. Wait to see what happens. Let Arizona get a 3rd rounder for Shelton and have them spend their top 10 pick on a RB who better pan out if you are shelling out that kind of money. The only RB this year worth that kind of money is Benson and he will be gone by then. The Auburn guys have nice physical numbers but have never carried a full workload in college much less the NFL. I would never take a RB in the top 10 that you have to project how they are going to carry a full workload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 ok...should we throw in a pick for Shelton?258427[/snapback] NOThe Bears, however, remain in the hunt for Arizona Cardinals left tackle L.J. Shelton, sources confirmed Tuesday. The Cardinals were close to a deal with the Buffalo Bills for running back Travis Henry, and that remains a possibility, but talks have stalled. The Bears have offered only a second-day draft pick for the player but remain flexible and will wait for unrestricted free-agent tackles to sign before determining Shelton's market value.

ganesh Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I hope TD can clinch this deal and sign Kedrick Vincent at the LG position and the line will be back to reasonable. Then re-sign Marcus Price for backing up the T position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeF Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I vote No.... Shelton's cap hit is $3 million for this year and he is nothing special... We can sign both a G and C for contracts in the 5 year/17 million range with bonuses in the $5 to $6 million dollar range and get 2 for 1 and move Teague to LT. Contracts would look something like: Bonus $6 million, Salaries $1m, $1.5 million, $2.5 million, $2.5 million, $3.5 million Cap hit this year is $2.25 million and we get 2 for 1....get a young LG and a C--and honestly I think Teague will account himself well against speed rushers--his troubles are with brute strength guys.... This would be a serious upgrade to the line...Teague is talented--he accounted for himself very well last year...and once you can snap and set quickly his reflexes and base are transferable back to LT--where he really wants to be anyway....Just MHO..

Poeticlaw Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Wait...It thought we were blaming Henry. WHY THE HELL WASN'T I NOTIFIED OF THE CHANGE!!!! 258461[/snapback] There is no need to panick if we gave a pick with Henry we are essentially giving him away and acquiring a player with a pick I wouldnt bite on it. I know I will get slack for this but here it goes... Personally I feel we could move Trey to left tackle acquire a center that will be there for many years, I feel this is essential for a new qb and a center to have a good repore for many years. Trade Henry for his value or another area of need. I have no feelings of loss to losing Jennings I do to losing Pat Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTom Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 TD is going to put T. Henry in Oakland for their 2nd round pick. Than he is going to trade our current second round pick to Arizona for Shelton. Essentially we will get Shelton for Henry plus we will move up to Oaklands pick. It's a move of genius and I can smell it coming!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would leave Oakland out of the mix (obviously) in the whole Travis Henry discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before i read your post, I was going to say that Mr Poker-face will GET a 6th or 7th rounder + Shelton for Henry from the Cards. People may argue against any of TD's skills but one thing is for sure - he is a great negotiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
