Frez Posted September 2, 2010 Posted September 2, 2010 Any takers for a 3r to 5th? He's over the hill..................nope. We are going with what we have.
silvermike Posted September 2, 2010 Posted September 2, 2010 It's interesting, but I'll pass. He had some killer seasons, but I think they were mostly just an artifact of playing with a young, strong Chad [Johnson] and a balls-out Carson Palmer. As those aspects faded, his numbers dropped into the middle range. At 32, he's not a long-term fix at the position, either. We could have just as well retained Terrell Owens.
bkc Posted September 2, 2010 Posted September 2, 2010 no thanks lets see what we have on the roster, I get the feeling that one of these guys will step up to be a solid number 2
Buffalonian-at-Heart Posted September 2, 2010 Posted September 2, 2010 no thanks lets see what we have on the roster, I get the feeling that one of these guys will step up to be a solid number 2 I'm not sold on this yet. We have a marginal number one and a question mark at #2. We may even have to wait for Nelson in year two or three. We have some interesting prospects, but guys that can be counted on to be a solid number 2, not sure YET.

Malazan Posted September 3, 2010 Posted September 3, 2010 no way, not at that a 3rd or a 5th and certainly not at 7 million (and the apparently belief by the player that he deserves that much).
Doc Posted September 3, 2010 Posted September 3, 2010 Alvin Harper v2.0. No thanks, unless he gets cut and he accepts a deal for less than half of what he was supposed to make (IOW, "on the cheap" ).
reddogblitz Posted September 3, 2010 Posted September 3, 2010 If we could get him for a 5th or maybe a 4th, I'd do it. There's not substitute for talent. After this pre season and the problems that the Jets and Patsies are having, we could make a run at this. We need a solid receiver to put out there with Lee. I don't care how much it costs, it's not my money. In a heartbeat.
notwoz Posted September 3, 2010 Posted September 3, 2010 I'd rather wait to see what kind of tight end talent crosses the waiver wire
Buftex Posted September 3, 2010 Posted September 3, 2010 Alvin Harper v2.0. No thanks, unless he gets cut and he accepts a deal for less than half of what he was supposed to make (IOW, "on the cheap" ). Not even close, in comparison.
Ramius Posted September 3, 2010 Posted September 3, 2010 Alvin Harper v2.0. No thanks, unless he gets cut and he accepts a deal for less than half of what he was supposed to make (IOW, "on the cheap" ). He's not worth it for the money he's being paid, but your statement is so far off base its not even funny. Harper never had mroe than 46 catches, 821 yards, or 8 TDs in a season. Since he became a starter in 2004, the fewest number of catches Housh had was 73, and the least number of yards Housh had was 904. Housh was at one point a legit #1 WR.
strive_for_five_guy Posted September 3, 2010 Posted September 3, 2010 let me step back a minute...TJ for BEAST MODE?! I agree with that. Sure, TJ is 32 and may not have many seasons left. But, we lose Lynch after this year as well. I think TJ would have more value to us moving forward. Seattle may actually find a guy like Lynch useful compared to their current backfield.
billsfan89 Posted September 3, 2010 Posted September 3, 2010 For just money yes. BUT for a mid round pick no. Getting him would be an upgrade but not at the cost of giving up a draft asset. IF he gets cut yeah try to pick him up (I doubt he would want to come here).
reddogblitz Posted September 3, 2010 Posted September 3, 2010 the fewest number of catches Housh had was 73, and the least number of yards Housh had was 904. Housh was at one point a legit #1 WR. TJ could make Trent look a lot better. A marginal QBs best friend is a good WR who makes the tough catches.

Alright, alright, it wasn't the best comparison I'll admit. The point was he was an excellent #2 WR, signed to be a #1 WR, and didn't pan-out like the Hawks had hoped, to the point that they're trying to trade him and get rid of his $7M salary (even though Paul Allen has more money than God and there is no salary cap). Maybe a better comparison would be Peerless Price v2.0? I'm not saying he's a bum. But I wouldn't trade for him and his $7M salary, but wait for him to be cut and sign him to a cheaper deal.
