Buftex Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 So, Andy Reid is officially on the record as of Sunday night as saying "we are still messing around" with a possible trade for Travis Henry. There is also rampant speculation that the Eagles are looking to trade Corey Simon. Freddie Mitchell wants out of Philly. So, how about we trade Travis to Philly for Corey Simon? Or, if Philly insists Mithcell be part of any trade, how about Travis and Josh Reed to Philly to the Eagles for Corey Simon and Freddie Mitchell...personally I like Reed more than Mitchell (still think Reed has a chance of being a very servicable possesion reciever, while Mitchell has shown nothing, ever), but the idea of Corey Simon in a Bills uniform is kind of exciting...
/dev/null Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 TH for CS after seeing TD ineptly overplay his hand this weekend i doubt it more like TH and our 2006 1st for CS
UConn James Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 I'd rather have a pick, even if it's a 4th or 5th. Simon's numbers have dropped off but that would probably make for a fair trade, and fill a need for both teams. I'd still give Edwards and Anderson the first look and have Simon for backup. I've been meaning to ask, who's that in your avatar? CZ-J?
Bill from NYC Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 TD should hold out for Simon, Mitchell, and a 1st round pick in 06. Why settle for just Simon?
Tipster19 Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 This is just a jerk job from Reid. They want leverage with Westbrook. Forget this trade and tell fatty to go pound sand.

Talonz Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Damn some of you fans are as fickle as they come - If TD traded TH for a 4th or lower draft pick dare I say just about EVERYONE would be bitching about it???? ARG....

ARG.... 317773[/snapback] not me - a 6th rounder in the 2006 draft would be most welcome. that's the sort of spot where you can land a good kicker, which the bills will need at some point.
ch19079 Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 i just wanted a OT. maybe we can trade henry,a draft pick, and/or J. Reed to the eagles for Tre Thomas...
Kevbeau Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Commentator on Sirius mentioned TD was willing to move Travis for a third, but there was no takers. In fact none of the guys that were talked about being traded were moved. Gardner, Woodson, Henry Abraham, etc....

BuffOrange Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 You guys are nuts, Corey Simon is a player. I'd make that deal in a second. I'd rather have a bag of dirt than Mitchell though.
ch19079 Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Are you suggesting Henry and a draft pick for Thomas, or Thomas and a draft pick for Henry? 317796[/snapback] sorry i had to edit that one... henry + draft pick, and/or Reed = Tre Thomas
Bill from NYC Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 sorry i had to edit that one... henry + draft pick, and/or Reed = Tre Thomas 317802[/snapback] If the Eagles were to deal Tre Thomas to the Bills, I doubt that they would even accept a 1st round pick along with Travis Henry. Teams just dont trade solid LTs. Think about it.....they are winning a ton of games, and you just cant do so without a high quality LT. You just dont see teams trading away these guys...... it doesn't happen.

Ah yes, a pro-bowl back for basically training camp fodder YIPPIE
