The Jokeman Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 watch the Bills trade our #1 pick next year for Gaither and then go out and finish 2-14 and get the 1st overall pick. Nix has always stated he's about having a strong running game and building a strong defense. I'm not sure Gaither is what he'd go after. Instead I see Gaither ending up in Dallas when Barron fails a physical.
ndirish1978 Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 Just to temper Schefter's tweet. All he says is: "NFL sources still expect Ravens OT Jared Gaither to be traded before season and Bills are most likely destination - they want him." This is the same kind of talk that had us all thinking we would take Claussen at 9.
K-9 Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 Excellent. Its all falling into place. *laughs maniacally* I will say this though, I doubt anything happens for a few months. Ravens have no incentive to move him immediately. They'll wait until a team loses a LT in training camp and use it to drive up their price. Good point. But I'll add one caveat: if the Ravens are serious about moving Oher to LT, that has to happen sooner than later for obvious reasons and they'll have to free-up the logjam at the position. If they're OK with the situation then they can afford to wait like you said. But if you're depending on moving a guy to a new position, one as critical as LT, you have to do it. Moving Oher to LT weakens their RT position and that new guy has to get in the line-up ASAP. GO BILLS!!!
HurlyBurly51 Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 Link PFT chimes in, with another tweet from a Ravens insider who hears the same thing. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/...-jared-gaither/ Wait a second. We've all been told repeatedly and in no uncertain terms by Thurman#1 that there is no way in hell this is gonna happen, it's impossible, and anyone who thinks it will is an idiot. Thurman#1, your serve.
The Big Cat Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 I'm a little concerned that BAL decided to move him over to RT for early workouts. If they don't like his attitude, they wouldn't make such a blatant move and expect another team to fork over a 2nd rounder. They'd leave him at LOT. Also, he's going to demand a large contract extension, as he'll be heading into the 4th and final year of his rookie contract. I can see him getting 7+M per over 4 or more seasons. this thread, like every thread you crash is very grateful for your negative spin.

The Jokeman Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 Whitner and Fitz for Gaither maybe? Try again. Ozzie Newsome is one of the best GMs in the NFL. I can't seem him taking anything less than a 2nd Rounder in 2011 or likely more due to what we got for Jason Peters.

BillsVet Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 this thread, like every thread you crash is very grateful for your negative spin. Likewise. Anytime a team wants to trade a player, it's caveat emptor IMO. And yes, whether you want to believe it or not, he's in the final year of his contract and will demand a new deal.
sllib olaffub Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 What a difference it would have on the whole offense! Our line would go from looking questionable to being potentially very good... and he's young. It would be a wise move, especially for a second rounder next year, even if they had to throw in a 4th - we'd still be able to pick up a QB with our 1st, and rounds 3, 5, 6, & 7 would be alright for WR, LB/DL depth. It'd make for a solid 2 year plan. And, if our defense plays good this year, with a solid O-line we could have an offense functional enough to beat anyone - a solid running game would free up our wideouts - I could see Evans to one side, Lynch or Jackson in the backfield, Nelson as T.E., (whoever - Hardy, Johnson, or even Easley) on the opposite side, and then having Spiller lining up in the slot - we could run out of that formation, and if we were passing, there could be a lot of speed on the field. I know, we're always optimistic this time of year, but I remember the Rams came out of nowhere and lit people up because of speed, and Warner's quick and accurate passing (which, I think, was influenced by his playing in the arena league - and the Bills new QB coach is supposed to be good, but coming from Canada where their QB's have to make quicker decisions and only have 2 downs to make the ten yards...). All I'm saying is with the right coaching, A Solid O-line, we could be competitive and our offense could work out alright.
BuffaloBaumer Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 Someone keep Willis away from Gaither until this deal is signed.......

Fingon Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 Update per PFT: UPDATE: We've confirmed that the Bills are indeed interested, and we can add a little bit to Schefter's report. The Bills want him bad. That is all.
DarthICE Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 I would be willing to part with our 2nd if need be and not ONE damn 'we gotta have a LT' person should B word. You want a LT in the high first, if we can get an established one for a 2nd, so be it. I want to see the trade go down and an extension reached sooner than later so he can get some OTA time in.
OnTheRocks Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 If this happens i consider this one of the best offseasons we have had in a little while!!!!! And whoa....THAT is saying a lot!
