Frez Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Jaguars | Remain Concerned with F. Taylor - from www.KFFL.com Wed, 1 Jun 2005 18:55:46 -0700 Adam Schefter, of NFL.com, reports the Jacksonville Jaguars remain concerned with the condition of RB Fred Taylor's (knee) surgically repaired knee. They are so concerned they have been looking for a veteran replacement running back. If Taylor can't go, unproven backup RB LaBrandon Toefield would be the team's featured back. More and more, it looks like the Jaguars will be adding another veteran back to their roster. They could make a move for a running back such as RB Travis Henry or RB Eddie George. Titans | Offered a Fourth-round Pick for Henry - from www.KFFL.com Wed, 1 Jun 2005 18:53:18 -0700 Adam Schefter, of NFL.com, reports Tennessee Titans offered the Buffalo Bills a fourth-round draft pick in exchange for RB Travis Henry and the Bills said no thanks. The Bills are sticking by their guns, no third-round pick, and no deal. Bills | No Budging on Henry Price - from www.KFFL.com Wed, 1 Jun 2005 18:47:03 -0700 Adam Schefter, of NFL.com, reports the Buffalo Bills refuse to drop their asking price for RB Travis Henry. If a team wants to make a trade for Henry it will still cost them a third-round draft pick. It is the reason no deal has gotten done so far.

brihs2005 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 They moved from a 5th to a 4th. I don't see the harm in waiting at this point. It will be a day of "I told you sos" if TD can get a 3rd from some team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I really don't get why these teams are afraid to pull the trigger. Henry is a solid if unspectacular player. If I needed a solid RB or even a good insurance policy I'd spend a 3rd in a second to bring in a proven vet like that. But I guess that's why I'm not an NFL GM.

Not that Tasker knows anything more than the rest of us...just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 TD knows what he's doing. Somebody is going to lose a prime running back to injury once camps open and be willing to pay for Henry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsAddict716 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I thought TD was asking for a second.... Nothing less? What happened to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort Hendrickson Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I thought TD was asking for a second.... Nothing less? What happened to that. 349359[/snapback] I agree, Cory Dillon went for a 2nd, Lamar Gorden went to the fins for a second, I think that is the price TD is looking for, if not, then conditionally at least.

This is part of the reason TD is absolutely correct in waiting for the right price. I would ask Tennessee to change it to a cond pick with it being a guaranteed 4th but go as high as a 2nd based on Henry's production Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would ask Tennessee to change it to a cond pick with it being a guaranteed 4th but go as high as a 2nd based on Henry's production I'd say guaranteed 3rd with it going to as high as a 1st based on production. Of course the 1st rounder would require he rush for 1,500 yards or something like that, in which case I think it would be reasonable to expect a 1st rounder.

ch19079 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 T. Henry should not even be mentioned with E. George. George is old and should retire soon. Henry has a good 5 years left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch19079 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 And what if that team is the Bills? 349478[/snapback] i dont think henry will be back with the bills. all this talk of him being back in buffalo is simply our attempt to raise his trade value. otherwise teams would just wait for us to cut him.

Teams don't want to pay that to a guy who has pretty much been out of football for the last 10 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(although...i don't see them getting anything more than a 3rd.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
