Yep. Two years ago AJ Feeley was worthy of a 2nd round pick. This year, that very same team was willing to give the same compensation for a proven pro-bowler in Culpepper.

Given that change in the market value of QBs, I'd be happy with a 7th rounder for Ramsey. I just wished we acted a bit sooner and traded him a few months back before it was known that Brees and Culpepper would be available. Maybe then we could have gotten a 4th rounder. But the CBA uncertainty kind of made it impossible to make a move at that point, so I'm not sure there was anything the front office could do.

Just take what we can get for Ramsey and move on, even if it's a 7th rounder.

He's gotta do what's best for him too, I don't think he's too interested in going somewhere unless he has a realistic chance to be the starter.

well, C palmer is a bit of a cripple right now, so he'd probably get some game to at leat showcase himself there, and the offensive talent would make him look good. CJ can adjust to balls like moss, but he's bigger and more of a jumper as well.

That would obviously be a very short term situation for him. Assuming Palmer comes back healthy Ramsey would go right back to the bench. Not a really desirable situation.

We've lost what bargaining power we had, now that we have 4 QB's on the roster. Teams will wait till we release him or get him for next to nothing.

miami is probably going to try and resign gus.

the bengals DID call for ramsey, but ramsey didn't want to visit them for whatever reason (like knowing he'd be the unquestioned backup).

I thought I heard somewhere the Dolphins might sign Tommy Maddox

man people REALLY dont want ramsey.

RedskinPete · 03-15-2006, 11:37 AM

I don't know what to think about Ramsey but there are reports that the Bengals are now asking about him. My take if he isn't picked up now or before the draft we should not cut him! Keep him around and work him in to the O! Just never know what can happen! Burnell could go down,Campbell may not be ready or Collins can he do the job? Now there is no sure thing that Ramsey could but there is on thing. Someone is going to run in to a QB troubles between now and the trading dead line in the fall! He is a fall back plan if we have trouble or someone else has a QB go down. Well it come to that? Who knowns? I think it will come down to draft day in april myself!

That Guy · 03-15-2006, 11:40 AM

the bengals asked earlier than this morning. he just said no thanks.

nah, every team is just wrong like us. Get in line.

abraham wants 18mill in SB (for a problem child? no thanks). The broncos are no longer interested unless the price drops.

PWNED · 03-15-2006, 11:54 AM

yup. i have this feeling we'll see abraham waiting a while until someone decides to take a chance on him.
