Playing GM today..

[eyedog]

The NFL trade deadline is Oct. 14th I believe, thus I propose the following.
Being in the rebuliding stages still, I would trade Clements and Spikes now.

Clements to the Giants. The Giants deperately need d-backs, he goes out of conference, and we all know he isn't going to be back in Buff. So let's get something for him now, preferably draft pick{s}.

Spikes goes to Carolina. I think TKO is starting to wear thin here. Carolina has a need with Morgan injured and he may be done for the year. Again he goes out of conference to a team that is a legit contender. Age/Injury is also a factor with TKO but a team that is close such as the Panthers may go for it. Draft picks again wanted.

Clements and Spikes to Oakland for Moss, Raiders 1st round pick, which could be the first pick overall, and Gallery.

Re: Playing GM today..

Want no part of Moss. Team wrecker and salary issues. also you would not get their #1.
Better off with d-picks. Team is heading in the right direction and another good draft or two and they should be there.

Re: Playing GM today..

The question is, what is Spikes worth right now?

Raiders cap cannot handle it AND why would they want Clements when he'll be a UFA

Re: Playing GM today..

The Giants would be a team that would want clements. They want to win now and probably would be willing to at least discuss a clements trade and then worry about singing him long term after the season if they couldn't get it done now.

CB Nate Clements to NY Giants for DE Justin Tuck and Day 1 2007 pick

Re: Playing GM today..

Get rid of D players for O players? What happens then?We draft Spikes replacement all over again? Fletcher not getting any younger. We'll have to find his replacement soon. So are we gonna draft D again next year?

I haven't given up on Spikes just yet. We can trade Clements, but I'd keep Spikes.

Re: Playing GM today..

I agree.....must keep TKO because Fletcher is UFA after 2006

Re: Playing GM today..

I'm pretty sure they will be drafting at least one lb next year, probably two.
Iwould take any first day pick for clements right now.

With the way Ellison is playing, we might see Ellison ,Spikes and Crowell in the lb position if we let Fletch go. I don't have a problem with that if Ellison continues to grow. There are more pressing needs than lb.

That doesn't preclude the Bills adding a LB early next year......Patrick Willis from Ole Miss would be a SOLID replacement for Fletcher

Re: Playing GM today..

I would like to see the Bills trade for an experienced OL/DL.........Raiders could have one or both.

this I agree with. Having a better OL would make things easier for our wr's/qb that we wouldn't even need to think about taking Moss.

A better DL would make things easier for our lb'ers and cb's.

This is why I wasn't all down and out about getting blown out by the bears. If anything they did us a favor by expossing our weaknesses.

I actually really like this post!!! This makes alot of sense. Get something for Clements now vs. nothing next year. But who fills in for Clements this year?

The one that I really like is Spikes. Dallas and Bills both built Dynasty's with the draft and young players.

Believe it or not I'd keep Fletcher.
