SuperBills12 Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 "Henry Update: A report says that the Cardinals have now backed off on demanding more for Travis Henry than just a straight player for player trade for L.J. Shelton. Tom Donahoe said in a radio interview this week that they did want more and so did the Bills causing a stalemate. Cardinals coach Denny Green acknowledged that they are still interested in acquiring Henry but will not lose draft picks in a deal. He also said that they would want Henry to play out his contract and not look for a long term deal at this time. It has been speculated that Henry wanted a new deal with any team he gets traded to, but he has since denied that." This trade is done folks...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 I say just do it. Travis wants out, the Bills have a need for a LT, and the market for RB's was blown this year, so better something than nothing. Competition on the O-line will be good this year, and that will allow the Bills to use their picks in other areas that can help immediately.

Astrobot Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 If you make this happen, do you go for Baas/Wilkerson? Or do you hope Teague/Tucker can do the job at C? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expecting a 2nd round rookie to become your starting OC is a dangerous thing. Take a look at all the busted 1st round centers the past few years. So I'd say go with Teague or Tucker.

MattyT Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 OK. So, according to this blurb, the Cardinals have backed off of asking for more. It seems like the Bills would still need to do the same in order for this to get done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Yeah, I don't see this as a concession by the Cards; TD still is saying that he wants Shelton "and something else" for TH. Notice he doesn't say someONE else; he says someTHING else. That means a pick. I bet they get an RD#3 or 4 from the Cards in next year's draft.

Tortured Soul Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Actually, it sounds like the Cards would not be open to giving up a pick, but would be open to swapping 2nd's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt in KC Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 It doesn't sound like the two sides are far apart. Tell me Arizona would be okay with a player for player trade, but wouldn't throw in a swap or 6th round picks. They could end up swapping 3rd or 4th round picks on draft day....

Fan in San Diego Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 My golf caddy in San Diego has a buddy golf caddy in Arizona that overheard the bar manager talking about the the time Denny Green's buddies were in the club talking about the trade and it is almost a done deal.

TD is trying to move up to get a better player...It might be a CB or OL or DL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobblehead Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 If you make this happen, do you go for Baas/Wilkerson? 294057[/snapback] Yes. Now you might not have to expect either of them to start right off the bat, which can't hurt you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you hope Teague/Tucker can do the job at C? 294057[/snapback] My vote is for Baas/Wilkerson. What this team really needs is a strong running game, and you can't have that unless you have a strong offensive line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 I agree. Green says he wont give up a pick, but swapping 2nd rounders would not break his word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
