Alphadawg7 Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Apparently there is possible trade interest in Ocho Cinco from Philly. If they trade for him, I wonder what they will give up and if it will cool their interest in a deal for Peters. To trade with us for Peters, its likely going to take a 1st and a likely a 3rd. Whats that leave to trade to Cincy? I wonder what they would demand for him now...maybe a 2nd or Philly's other 1st? Would Philly actually trade this many high picks? Link
mjohns85 Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 it is possible philadelphia would only pursue one, but remember, phila has a bunch of picks in this years draft. also, peters is younger and has much more upside than ocho cinco. in my opinion chad is worth no more than a second round pick, and that is being generous. i would have to agree that i don't see the eagles trading for both players

Housh was practically BEGGING them to sign him, and they refuse, but now they're after this has-been malcontent?

I doubt he goes for anything less than a 2nd though, maybe even a 2nd and 4th/5th...
bourbonboy Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Plus, last I heard the stubborn Cinti owner wants to keep #85, and like Ralph, his is THE final word.

Link I don't watch the local news, but the eagles are still wondering about a WR?? They are already two years too late. They need to "Get the puppies organized!"
BuffaloBill Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Hard to figure Philly out - not likely they will go after both as it is likely that some combination of three maybe four pick would have to be offered up.
dollars 2 donuts Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I don't understand Philly. Housh was practically BEGGING them to sign him, and they refuse, but now they're after this has-been malcontent? Right there with ya, Sage.
Kettle Creek Football Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Yeah, I don't know that I would want to part with a first, even a later first for Ocho Cinco...a second sounds about right to me. I doubt he goes for anything less than a 2nd though, maybe even a 2nd and 4th/5th... Wasn't Randy Moss traded to the Pats for a 4th rounder? I would think the Eagles will try to get him for less than that.
billybob Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 We send Peters to Philly and T.O. to Cincinnati - Cincinnati sends Chad Johnson to Philly- Philly sends us their two 1st rounders, Victor Abiamiri DE, and Max Jean-Gilles OG.
H2o Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I don't understand Philly. Housh was practically BEGGING them to sign him, and they refuse, but now they're after this has-been malcontent? Actually the story was he said he wanted to play in Philly, but him and his agent were trying to shake more money out of the Eagles than any other team. That ticked the FO off and they let him sign somewhere else. http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/real_scou..._to_take_a_hike
JinWPB Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 My feeling is,give up the picks and take a proven player , all things being equal as the saying goes. Who would you want , a young proven star or a wet behind the rookie? Quess it depends where your team is. Draft picks cost less ( except real high picks) but you usually only get 2 good years play( 2 years to learn pro ball) before their rookie contract run out . If the team is just a few players out of the playoffs , heh, mortgage the farm. If the Bills want to win now,are they Listening? Give a good RT and RB some money. Swing a deal for a proven TE, Denver seems to be in a trading mood. Sign a pass rushing DE, there is one in FA with a Pats invite in his pocket. Please don't say you'd rather have Taylor chasing Trent twice a year than teaming with Aaron. Our open guard spot can be filled better than it was last year by Chambers or a late cut. Use the draft to find a replacement for Ellison and depth on the lines.I say this cause LB seems to be a position rookies develope at most quickly . Or we good trade for a bunch of draft picks and start all over again.

Stussy109 Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I don't understand Philly. Housh was practically BEGGING them to sign him, and they refuse, but now they're after this has-been malcontent? Maybe they realize that Houshyermamma was a result of CJ drawing double coverage.
