Buffalo wants a second- or third-round pick, plus a player, for Henry. Washington wants a third-round pick for Gardner.

Dr. Fong Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Am I the only one that would turn around and give the Skins a third rounder for Rod Gardner? He's no superstar, but I think he'd be a solid pickup. If the Bucs could turn two third rounders and a player into Gardner and Henry they'd be doing OK for themselves.

Fake-Fat Sunny Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 A three-way trade perhaps: TB gives up a third rounder and gets a former Pro Bowl RB- Sounds fair from my perspective, there are a lot of details because I want to sign him long-term to a conditional deal but if they drafted a rookie RB he probably would not contribute more to the team next year since for example our 3rd round pick was Tim Anderson so TB would be likely passing by on nothing (whi knows maybe they woud have picked Terrell Davis but this is unlikely) so getting Travis would be fine for them. DC gives up Gardner and gets the 3rd from TB they are looking for. The Bills give us Henry and get Gardner who is a #3 WR who caught 51 last year fir the Skins and demonstrated the ability to run trick plays throwing three passes. Given the floundering of Reed and questions both good and bad raised by Aiken we woulduse Gardner. However, as far as this 3 ways go, I think that DC gets what they are after, but TB does well and the Bills probably get shorted. Even if you think Travis is bad, the Bills need to pout and ask for more even if they feel good about the deal. If TB though in a lower round pick (or got the Skins to) or on of them has a workhorse though low TD RB, they got a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsGuyInMalta Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I'll take that Derrick Brooks guy, I hear he's pretty good... Honestly though, I'd take their 3rd rounder and either a WR or a O-Lineman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do this, cutting drew and signing Johnson is a cap wash. Just keep drew as a backup already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Just thinking out loud here, but how about these two scenarios? 1) Bucs franchise Cosey Coleman, we get him for Travis and we lock him up long-term as our LG, or 2) Travis straight up for Greg Spires.

If the second rounder is the best we can do, then I guess pull the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a Tennessee Vol fan, so I had the opportunity to watch him in college (same with Travis Henry, Peerless Price, et al). I was hoping the Bills were going to draft Coleman coming out of college, but TB snatched him up. If we could get Coleman and a draft pick for Henry, that would be HUGE! Coleman would give our o-line a significant boost. We could then use the draft pick on any of a variety of areas - safety, back-up running back, kicker (NUGE!)

I believe he started every game for them though, so he might be worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he started every game for them though, so he might be worth a look. 237807[/snapback] I was hoping to get him too last year, but found it curious that he never really got any interest from any team in the league, Bills included, and had to settle for a 1 year deal with TB. Not sure if its true or not, but I recall reading something about him having an attitude or work ethic problem, but again I dont know if that is true. Wonder how his performance was this past year.
