Fake-Fat Sunny Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 As a football fan I don't like seeing a team lose a player to injury (TN's RB Brown broke his hand in a contact drill in his shorts without pads. He is only out for a month but this comes on top of him losing 5 games last year to turf toe and 4 games in his rookie season to a hammy pull so question arise in TN about counting upon the man envision replacing George). As a human being I hate to see another person fall victim to drug abuse (MN's RB Smith has apparently been suspended for a year due to a drug violation). At any rate, part of the past TD arsenal has been for him to make what I call a take-out bid of overpaying for a player but making a take or leave it offer to avoid getting into a bidding war when he thinks his value would go up anyway and he wants to close the deal. Its why we paid through the nose for Milloy and he avoided a bidding war with Chicago with offer. Generally it has paid off as Milloy (outside of a couple of nicks which cost him games has performed and still been among the team leaders in tackles even losing a game here and there. It looked to some that TD had missed the market when Arrington dropped to AZ in the second round. However, it looks like injury is building a new market for Henry and pre-season and unfortunate injuries to come has not even begun yet. TD has a lot of good reasons to sit tight and see what the future brings in terms of market. I think if the Titans want Henry, or Philly is still interested because Westbrook has not yet answered their call or MN has a new need, its going to take a takeout bid of the 2nd (or at least a 3rd) to get TD to bite instead of waiting.

stuckincincy Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Could be, but this team seems thin at the rb position as is, barring something special coming from Williams and draftee Gates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark VI Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Should TD call Sotheby's and notify multiple teams of an online auction ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Wolf Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Mr. Wolf feels that Corey Simon is the only true fair market value for a Travis Henry. In addition to being fair market value for Travis Henry, Corey Simon will also greatly enhance our front 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake-Fat Sunny Posted May 20, 2005 Author Share Posted May 20, 2005 Sorry but drug abusers get the fate they deserve. It was their choice just like it's a drunk's choice to drive incapacitated and kill someone. 340691[/snapback] I never said drug abusers don;t deserve what they get. I just said I felt bad for a team when one of their players ends up not entertaining me because of a non-football issue. I can certainly see a point of view that fells sorry for Rae Carruth but would be willing to deliver him the the poison to end his life for killing the woman he impregnated. I have no problem being part of a society which kills someone who deserves it, but i do feel bad that sometimes it is necessaary or useful for society to kill someone.

Bill from NYC Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Take-Out Bid for Travis? Maybe a team will offer TD a quart of sweet and sour chicken, and a pint of roast pork lo-mein from a ghetto restaurant. This would be more than we came away with on draft day.
