I think the Lions and Titans are the market for Haynesworth at this point, because they know him. But I don't think we'll get two 2nds.

I guess we'll see. 2 years are not much of a difference, didn't Haynesworth help Orakpo and Carter get double digit numbers in sacks? If we can't get 2 2nd rounder, then the FO better rethink on repairing this relationship, quick. Paying for another Vinnism.

So who are we looking at as a possible trade partner. Only team I can think of is the Saints. Maybe the Eagles if we want to keep this "all in the division" thing going.

What would Rocky be worth? We gave up picks to get him and now we are "possibly" shopping him? His play has been middle of the pack.

I think the best we can probably hope for is to package him up with another player, on his own I don't see a team giving up much to get him.

Reading Mel Kippers article from the Washington Post, it looks like there is Haynesworth, Campbell, Rocky, and Laundry all on the trading block. I just hope we end up with at least 7 or 8 picks someway.

A 2nd for Rocky?

Not gonna happen.

Yup, not even close. I'd say more like a 5th.

So, what exactly do you expect from a 2nd round draft pick? Obviously you don't think a 4th or later round draft pick will best him.

Might or might not, but when you make that draft pick, it comes with 4+ cheap years, and when you trade for Rocky, you get one. Which is the reason that if we shopped Rocky to all 31 teams, 27 would say they aren't interested in him at any price.

With the remaining 4 teams, it's all about deciding if the price they are going to give you is worth not having Rocky on the roster for this year. If the best offer you get is a seventh rounder...maybe you don't do that. Maybe you do. We will see.

I'm guessing he's a 5th round value, at best.

I'd like to work out a deal with the Raiders for Kirk Morrison and Thomas Howard. Apparently both are on the trading block.

If they'd take Rocky in return, that is a good idea. I always wanted us to have Thomas Howard anyway.

I agree 100%. The Raiders want to move 1 or both LBs, make an even swap.
Either 1 is an upgrade.

In my opinion, this draft is strong in the top 110-120 players. After that, it's scraps; special teamers and long term projects. It's not worth trading any of our guys at a discount unless they could get into the top half of the 4th round or better, not likely.

Haynesworth is the only one, and they won't get fair value him either.
Trade players for players, no one is giving up quality picks.

Rocky is a good enough NFL linebacker, but I can't necessarily see a team that he would go to and start for, which limits his trade value.

If we released him, he'd get signed pretty quickly, but not for too much more than his tender offer.

GTripp0012 · 04-18-2010, 03:33 PM

While I'm sure plenty of teams value Rocky at a 5th round pick, I doubt that any team will be willing to pull the trigger at that price. He's not getting an extension from that team, so what they are essentially getting at the price is a one year contract with a CBA dependent option for a second year.
