Nanker Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Trade Rumors "TRADE WINDS For the first time in a long time, trades might make bigger headlines than free-agent signings. Check out all the players on the trading block (or who could potentially land there): Denver's quarterback Jake Plummer, Buffalo's running back Willis McGahee, Bears running back Thomas Jones, Lions cornerback Dre' Bly, Chiefs defensive end Jared Allen, and possibly restricted free agents Michael Turner in San Diego and Matt Schaub in Atlanta. No trades can be made until March 2, but once that day arrives, so will the trade talk that could overshadow some of the free-agent moves." Bly played for the Rams before joining the Lions. Those are two teams that have history with our coaching staff. With Nate gone and Willis' skid being greased as we speak, would it make sense for Marv to trade with Detroit for the aforementioned Mr. Bly?

ganesh Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 There is strong trade rumors that Denver is interested in acquiring Bly and they might be ready to exchange for Jake Plummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 Willis would be right at home in Detroit... That though did cross my mind. I wonder if the Plastic Cup would throw him a parr-tee!!! There is strong trade rumors that Denver is interested in acquiring Bly and they might be ready to exchange for Jake Plummer. That would make sense for both clubs, but about as much as Willis for Bly would, IMHO. Being a Bills' fan, I'd like to see the sting taken out of losing Clements by the acquisition of a decent corner. I do believe a RB could be had in the 2nd round that would be able to equal Willis' production. Again, my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 We'd probably have to throw in a 3rd rounder with Willis for Dre Bly. Bly has 1 year left on his deal paying him $4.2 mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Remember that on his second day as Detroit Interim Head Coach, Jauron had Dre Bly apologize to the media after he went postal about Mariucci being fired? Bly was an alternate to the Pro Bowl the year before, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bly was an alternate to the Pro Bowl the year before, I believe. Good. He's a high character guy - he's not afraid to stick up for his coach and did a mea culpa. Millen may become the new meaning for incompentence, as in to trash/run-into-the-ground/destroy/wilt/bungle/stumble blindly etc., etc., etc. e.g., He Millened the place.

DanInSouthBuffalo Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Bly isn't a good fit for the Cover-2 scheme we employ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUFFALOTONE Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 For the tenth time, Bly wants out of Detroit because they play the cover 2, why would he want to go to another team that runs the same scheme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
