Lothar Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Ogunleye for Booker and a mid round draft pick - pending Bears signing the DE by 7:00 tonight.
Frez Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Jay Glazer, of Foxsports.com, reports the Miami Dolphins have agreed to trade DE Adewale Ogunleye to the Chicago Bears for WR Marty Booker and a third-round draft choice in 2005. The deal, however, is dependent upon the Bears working out a contract agreement with Ogunleye by 7 p.m. ET Saturday, Aug. 21. If a deal cannot be reached, the trade will not be complete.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Marty...Booker? Yep, he'll solve all of the Dolphins problems.
Simon Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 the Miami Dolphins have agreed to trade DE Adewale Ogunleye to the Chicago Bears for WR Marty Booker and a third-round draft choice in 2005 BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's all they could get for their best Defensive End?! C'mon Bears, get 'em signed!
stuckincincy Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Marty...Booker? Yep, he'll solve all of the Dolphins problems. 2497[/snapback] No, but they've been looking for some WR help. Getting Booker and 3rd is better that a sitting Ogunwhatever, IMO.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Booker has been a slightly above-average WR for the Bears for about 2 of his years there, and less-than-stellar the rest of the time. Adding him and losing Ogunleye is a huge downgrade for the Dols. Still however I guess it's better than having Ogunleye sit-out for 10 games and having nothing to show for that time. However the sticking point will be the Bears agreeing to pay Ogunleye Wistrom money, at least. I doubt it happens.
Guest Guest Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 I have had Marty Booker in a fantasy league for the past few years, he is a good producer at WR. Not a star, but he will do well. Too bad I can't draft him anymore, being a Dolphin and all....

Nanker Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Bummer! Now we won't be able to trade Travis or Willis! Ooogah was the key, Travis was the lock and Willis was going to be shown the door. I thought it was all arranged. Oh well, all right. Now we've got to get back to the rumor mill!
LabattBlue Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Booker is a quality receiver who has had one stevestojantty QB after another in Chicago. Only problem is, he may end up with the same QB problem in Miami!
Rico Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Booker is decent, but I don't think he's a difference-maker, he doesn't scare me at all... unlike Ogunleye. Stupid, STUPID move by the Felons.
TigerJ Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 If they didn't have the money to sign him, they didn't have all that much choice about it. What on earth made you think it was a done deal - McGahee for Ogunleye, Nanker? I can't believe all the hate for McGahee because his agent decided to stir the pot a bit. Ogun wanted more money than Donahoe would ever pay him.

Dolphins need RB help bad, and they trade for a WR? Bwaaaaa! Hilarous how much the dolphis screw up this year. I'm laughing out loud.
Guest Stuck in Miami Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Booker is a quality receiver who has had one stevestojantty QB after another in Chicago. Only problem is, he may end up with the same QB problem in Miami! 2538[/snapback] I'm with you Blue...Booker is a Very Good receiver. Ask Nate Clements, he had to give him a 12yd cushion all game when we played them 2 years back, and he still managed big #'s. If you put Booker in Indy across Harrison and Peyton throwing to him, he is a 100 rec 1300 yd WR, I don't know what he can do in Miami, but it is a good trade for the Dolphins. I would give a #2 straight up for Booker. By the way, McGahee is a good kid along for the ride with an Ambulance Chaser for an agent. McGahee is too trusting and just wants to play ball and prove his worth. Rosenschiester is just out for self-promotion, trying to recruit some Gangstas as clients, so he can bilk them of their 20%.
JimBob2232 Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Booker? TD Get on the phone. Offer them shaw and a 3rd rounder!
Rayzer32 Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Rosenhoof has already stated that Da Bears have not even come nearly close enough $$ wise in a contract offer for Ogunlaid and the deal is not going to happen. Oh well, the Dolphaluses lose again!!!

Just like I'm encouraging Willis to go for it. If he doesn't think he's a starter, then frankly I don't want him on the team. Let him and Henry duel it out on the field. I'm ready to see THAT.

RuntheDamnBall Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 The trade seems reasonable. It's like trading for a guy who is essentially a free agent anyway, as Ogunleye is calling the shots on the deal. The Bears shouldn't have had to give up too much for him. I am kinda surprised the Dolphins didn't ask for Anthony Thomas, though. He would be a Minor upgrade at RB. ugh. Sorry for the unintended pun.
