BillsGuyInMalta Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Speculation from the Bleacher Report? Well its BOUND to happen now! A nice thing to debate, but absolutely will not happen.
Steely Dan Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Speculation from the Bleacher Report? Well its BOUND to happen now! A nice thing to debate, but absolutely will not happen. One can dream can't they? All you need is a computer and a dream.
silvermike Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 That's not a rumor. That's an idea. A suggestion. A rumor requires some hint or information that something is actually in the works.
Rico Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Meh. But I like that other article on the RH side of the page, Honoring Mo Lewis It's got the clip of that beautiful hit on Bledsoe.
Steely Dan Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Here's the info on the author of the article. I think BillsGuyInOrchardPark is right but hey. Even blind nut finds a squirrel now and again. I'm guessing his source is either a Ouija board or Magic 8 Ball. I'm pretty sure he doesn't have an inside source. I wonder how hard JW and TG are laughing at this. Anyhoo, for the dreamers like me here's the info on Harris.

Lori Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Brandon Marshall, Tommie Harris, and ... Josh Reed ?!? One of these things is not like the others ...
billybob Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 The only thing that could possibly make this true is Tommie Harris has a questionable Knee- which is a pretty big deal with an undersized DT who depends on having great quickness.
oddoublee Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Brandon Marshall, Tommie Harris, and ... Josh Reed ?!? One of these things is not like the others ... O O O....I Know!!! Tommie Harris is a tackle! Right?!?!?!
Lori Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 O O O....I Know!!! Tommie Harris is a tackle! Right?!?!?! Nice catch, but I was thinking more along the lines of the first two making it to the Pro Bowl.
MattM Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 But that's why we'd be giving them a decent player (remember, most of Reed's catches were for first downs, he's a great blocker in the running game and if he'd stayed healthy he was on pace for 70 catches in a "run first" offense) and a 2. This isn't a "straight up" trade. The 2 is the problem to me. If we could do this for Josh Reed and a 3, I'd be all over it, especially considering this is Josh's last year under contract I believe (but could be wrong). I like Josh, but the opportunity to get a 26 year old Pro Bowl DT is too good to pass up.

Anyhoo, for the dreamers like me here's the info on Harris. For what little it's worth, he didn't come up with the idea. It was mentioned about a day earlier on another board. But only by a poster, it wasn't linked to anything authoritative. So, maybe, just maybe, it qualifies as a rumor. Personally, I just can't see it happening and doubt that there's any factual basis. Though I would absolutely love the trade, as much of a fan of Josh Reed as I am.
WVUFootball29 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Harris is as overrated as they come, plus he has a bum wheel. Letting a second and a productive WR go for that doesn't seem like a great idea.
oddoublee Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Nice catch, but I was thinking more along the lines of the first two making it to the Pro Bowl. ; ) Side note-It is funny that some people are trying to actually justify Josh Reed(potential 70 receptions?? and a good run blocker) as a valid trade option in this scenario. We just dont have the guns to be a suitable partner for that scenario everyone...

mrags Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I would never give up Reed and a 2. Considering we would hold some of the power being a 3 way trade and making it very difficult to pull off I would go with Reed and a 4th at best. I would rather put up Roscoe and a 3rd though. But considering Harris' bum wheel I dont think anything over a player and a 3rd justifys. Just MHO
Captain Caveman Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 That's so crazy it just might work. No probably not. But it could. If... Denver thinks that Marshall is damaged goods and is willing to take the best offer for him (since he's in the last year of his contract and could be facing a suspension.) Considering the chances of Marshall playing even one more full season in Denver, I'd say that Josh Reed and a second round pick don't so bad. If... Chicago thinks that the Cutler to Orton combo could really jump start their offense and is willing to take a risk on a troubled player If... well, the Bills would probably be crazy not to pull the trigger on this one. I think this article is complete speculation, but it does almost make sense when you think about the players and situations involved. But that doesn't mean there's any indication it is even being discussed by anyone who counts.
