Kingfish Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Interesting! http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/04/24/...a-plane-ticket/ The St. Louis Rams have purchased a plane ticket for USC quarterback Mark Sanchez to travel to St. Louis on Sunday, according to Steve Wyche of NFL.com, per our friends at The Red Zone. What does this development mean? It doesn’t necessarily guarantee that the Rams are definitely going to draft Sanchez with the second overall pick of the draft and fly him into St. Louis for an introductory press conference.
Acantha Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Interesting! http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/04/24/...a-plane-ticket/ Now THAT would be a big-time smokescreen.
VOR Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Not a bad move by the Rams. For the cost of a plane ticket, they could net themselves a 2nd rounder from the Seahawks, to trade-up from 4th overall.
Kingfish Posted April 25, 2009 Author Posted April 25, 2009 This would allow the big three LTs to last a little longer.
dave mcbride Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 If you truly think a QB has the goods and you don't have a great QB (Bulger is not great), why wouldn't you take him? The QB is the most important player on a team.

Either the Rams are drafting Sanchez or they're not. If they are willing to trade the #2 then they aren't serious about Sanchez, are they? PTR

Steely Dan Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Not a bad move by the Rams. For the cost of a plane ticket, they could net themselves a 2nd rounder from the Seahawks, to trade-up from 4th overall. That's what I was thinking. The problem is that maybe no teams will contact them for a trade now believing it's a done deal.
billnutinphoenix Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 I hope the Rams would pick him...Jason Smith would be nice to trade up for w/Brownies..
VOR Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 That's what I was thinking. The problem is that maybe no teams will contact them for a trade now believing it's a done deal. It's not a done deal until that card goes up to the podium for Sir Roger to read out loud.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 That's what I was thinking. The problem is that maybe no teams will contact them for a trade now believing it's a done deal. Maybe other teams were telling them they didn't wanna go to 2 because of the huge salary, so its a desperation move.
TC in St. Louis Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Does anybody believe that buying a plane ticket means anything? If they draft him, they'd probably pick him up in a private jet. For 60 million bucks they are investing a $1000 first class seat? Hardly.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Exactly. This is a craptabulous story all the way around. Was it like this last year the night before the draft? I mean all these crazy rumors?
H2o Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Interesting! http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/04/24/...a-plane-ticket/ I think this is an awesome move by the Rams. They probably want out of the #2 slot and bad. They buy a guy that's "high on everyone's board" a ticket to St. Louis which might prompt a few teams to try and sell their soul to get Sanchez.
ieatcrayonz Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 That's what I was thinking. The problem is that maybe no teams will contact them for a trade now believing it's a done deal. You're right. Because no one would ever think the Rams would ever eat the cost of a plane ticket.
apuszczalowski Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Since usually the guys projected to go in the top 10-15 are in NY for the draft to be there in person anyways, who says that is who the Rams bought the ticket for?

Nick the Greek Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 i would rather not see sanchez to the jets.. i want to jets have that 8th string bush leaguer kellems
H2o Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/04/24/...ver-plane-fare/ Could mean "Big Trouble" for the Rams if this is a true story.
Virgil Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 I thought they received permission to negotiate with someone once the Lions signed their guy?
