The Ravens are definitely in the market for a back

I wish we had a perfect world and we could receive them both!

What would we ask for in return?

When did it look like "we would completely own the division" ??? Not sure that I agree with the premise of the post's title. And it seems immature to assume that others won't make moves in the division after we make a move. Intent of this threat???

I don't disagree with you. He may be more suited for the OC role.

And when Sherman interviewed here last year for the HC job, he really played up his high degree of confidence in J.P.'s skills and potential. And this coming from an offensive-minded coach.

To what degree will all the paternity suit stuff distract his attention from the on-field stuff in 2007?

The premise of the argument is that Brady is "good" player.

I foresee a lot of posts in '07 of us fretting about McGee getting burned in games. I pray our CB situation will be Ok.

That seems fair, but expect the Bears to ask for some Buffalo hot sauce to go with the chicken wings. That could be a deal breaker for the Bills brain trust. So while I like your idea, I'm not sure the deal would go through.

Brady will retire a Patriot

There's a big difference between a trade and showing an interest The Boston Globe reported on the story yesterday and as I recall there was a threat that discussed the Pats interest in Moss The SI link sources the Globe article so it doesn't shed any light on the Pats interest in Moss http://patriots.bostonherald.com/patriots/...rticleid=186445 Pats show interest in dealing for Moss By John Tomase Boston Herald Sports Writer Monday, March 5, 2007 - Updated: 05:05 AM EST On the surface, Randy Moss doesn’t seem like a Patriots [team stats] kind of player. He often plays at half-speed and has quit on more than one team. But Moss is supremely talented, and he’s got something else working in his favor - Bill Belichick apparently loves him. League sources last night indicated the Patriots coach has long been enamored with the Raiders wide receiver and would welcome the opportunity to bring him to Foxboro for the right price. Moss is on the block after two disappointing seasons in Oakland. The Raiders have worked on a deal that would send the mercurial wide receiver to Green Bay, with the Packers offering quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Raiders holding out for a first-round pick, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The Packers don’t seem in much of a rush to pull the trigger, however, which has left an opening for the Pats. A source said Belichick believes he could motivate Moss to play and that he’d have the locker room support system to back him up, thanks to high-character veterans like Tom Brady [stats], Richard Seymour [stats] and Rodney Harrison [stats], among others. For proof, look no further than Corey Dillon [stats], who arrived in New England with a rap sheet far longer and more serious than Moss’ and yet proved to be a good soldier for virtually his entire tenure with the team. Moss has traditionally responded better and played harder when surrounded by players he respects, like Cris Carter and Daunte Culpepper in Minnesota. Word out of Oakland is the 30-year-old wants to play on a contender before his career ends. The Raiders are intent on moving him following a miserable 2006 that saw him post career-worst numbers in receptions (42), yards (553), and touchdowns (three). “Moss quit on us last year,” a Raiders employee told the Journal Sentinel. “My feeling is he wants to go someplace where they can win. He knows he only has X number of years left and he’s never, ever won at any level.” Moss clearly represents a gamble. He loafed through much of his tenure in Oakland and experienced his share of disciplinary issues, from possession of marijuana to pretending to moon the crowd at Lambeau Field. His most serious scrape came in 2002 when he tried to make an illegal turn and grazed a traffic cop with his car. He spent a night in jail and was ultimately charged with careless driving. As twisted as this sounds, those transgressions are relatively minor in an NFL that includes Titans troublemaker Pacman Jones and the majority of the Cincinnati Bengals roster. The Patriots believe they can keep Moss in line, if given the chance. One issue would be convincing Moss to restructure a contract that calls for $9.75 million in 2007 and $11.25 million in 2008. The Pats also need to strike a deal with what is considered a rudderless ship in Oakland, thanks to owner Al Davis and a depleted front office. That’s a lot to overcome, but at the very least, color the Patriots intrigued.

Hit the Links in April when the grass thaws.

He's got 2 good years left, tops. Bellicheck knows this.

Very interesting. Clearly the Bills brain trust has a lot on its mind right now regarding the backfield. We can only speculate what their intent is right now. But the next week and a half will bring some clarity to what the Bills are trying to do with respect to Willis, A-train, potential free agent acquisitions, trades.

not sure if I understand what you're trying to say. I've read it several times and can't decode your point.

The Pats / Adalius Thomas deal looks brilliant relative to this. Friggin Patriots

Any team would be nuts to give BOTH a 1st and 3rd for him. How much good film do we have on this guy to justify this?

Perfectly stated. He will work his @ss off in his contract year behind the behemoth O-line. We'll have more run yards in '07 vs '06. Isn't that what we want. We might be over-analyzing the whole Willis situation.

I'd be stunned if it happened but pleased as pumpkin.

Best strategy I've heard all day with respect to Willis.

CBS looked so ridiculous (Phil Simms especially) in the Harrington love-fest in Detroit on Thanksgiving. So he pulls out a win against the worst team in the league. It's as if he was a Joe Montana in the making. Simms should have covered the Buffalo game ... 0.0 QB rating for your beloved Joey Harrington, Phil.

you want to extend him beyond '07 now?

Pittsburgh read the writing on the wall that Don Capers didn't.
