Got_Wood Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) Green Bay, San Diego, and Indy all lost valuable starting safeties this week. Just one more opportunity for us to trade a position we have lots of depth at. Not saying we could get a 1st or 2nd in return for our guys, but a player or 3rd/4th rounder would be a great building block piece for this team at other positions. Edited October 5, 2010 by Got_Wood

Why would a team trade with us when Ko Simpson is available. He used to be worth millions!

We can trade Cry baby Whitner and let some other team deal with him. If we get a fourth round pick for him we can use it to maybe go back in the first round an pick up a good player to fill a need.

akm0404 Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 LOL @3rd or 4th rounder for Whitner. Lynch got a 4th, and he's a MUCHMUCHMUCHMUCHMUCHMUCHMUCH better player than Whitner. You might get a 6th for Donte Whitner. Worth it? Who knows.

You might get a 6th for Donte Whitner. Worth it? Who knows. He's a starting safety. 6th in the NFL in total tackles. Seems like a team with NO safety would pay at least a 4th for him.
ganesh Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Why would a team trade with us when Ko Simpson is available. He used to be worth millions! Actually Ko Simpson may be better than any of our current safeties at this point
Green Lightning Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Maybe Whitner for AJ Hawk or Brad Jones straight up? I'd move Whitner for Hawk in a heartbeat. I'm mixed on AJ as he hasn't cracked the starting line up in GB, but after watching the sorry LB corp we have last Sunday, Hawk has to be a step up.
playman Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 pick. not hawk. make sure we get into next draft with about 30 picks
tonyd19 Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Whitner for Hawk and a 4th. It might make sense for GB as a salary dump and to make the team better. Don't forget Hawks contract is very, very high. that is why they probably can't trade him. pick. not hawk. make sure we get into next draft with about 30 picks Why? That would just mean we would cut or trade 30 more players by the end of 2011.
Peace Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) He's a starting safety. 6th in the NFL in total tackles. Seems like a team with NO safety would pay at least a 4th for him. 6th in total tackles for a safety says less about the safety than the 7 guys not tackling in front of him. Whitner for a 5th would be about as good as you could get. Edited October 5, 2010 by Peace
bigc14120 Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Actually Ko Simpson may be better than any of our current safeties at this point KO was always a step slow...played here is desparate times. All our current safeties are better than he is. I would say that trading straight up for AJ Howk would be a good deal...but won't happen. AJ makes about 4mil, and Ralph isn't going to pickup that bill.
JPS Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 If you said Whitner for a 4th, I think you'd have 31 teams in line for that deal. I think you guys criticizing Whitner are nuts. He plays behind absolute garbage and makes tackles. He's a solid tackler with speed. Has experience at SS and FS. I just don't get what's not to like. Maybe he's no Steve Atwater, but he's not Dwight Drane.
