Trade him....

Trade a guy who was suspended 4 games for failing a drug test and is one failed test away from a years suspension.

Trade a guy who spent three years trying to make Skins fans forget he was the one who overslept his first day of training camp.

Sure there'll be a bunch of takers for that. We'd be lucky to get a 4th rounder for him. Even that sounds ludicrous as I type it.

Seems everyone else is saying how valuable he is as our most explosive offensive talent. I don't value him as much. I'm just saying if the Skins decide to trade up in the draft why not consider throwing in Fred Davis.

Because he is worth nothing to other teams...or close to nothing. Players whom a team is familiar with and who the team knows fits the system are always worth more to their team than they are to other teams.

We couldn't get more than a late rounder for him...but we'd have to sign him in some way first. As a franchised guy he isn't worth anything at all unless the other team can work out a long-term deal...and if we resign him straight up we'd probably have him at a reasonable cost...so why trade him?

A trade doesn't seem to make any sense or even be remotely in the cards.

because the juice would not be worth the squeeze. his value to us is higher than it would be to any other teams.

Ok. Maybe the team should sign him for a pretzel and a half-smoke?

Because a good TE is a young QBs best friend.

Cam Newton-Greg Olsen/Jeremy Shockey
Christian Ponder-Kyle Rudolph
Matt Ryan-Tony Gonzalez
Matt Stafford-Brandon Pettigrew
