McGahee Going to Ravens? TRADE RUMOR!

[patmoran2006]

I knew it. I truly think at this point its a matter of Baltimore redoing Willis' contract. At any rate, this is a done deal I think, and it's going to officially go down within the next 24 hours , if not this evening.

No idea for compensation.. Based on other trades this season' im going to say a third.

Too bad this ******* couldn't have a better attitude and be more grateful to the team that gave him a shot (and first round draft pick money when no one else would). I think we're really going to hate him, because I think he's going to tear it up in Baltimore.

[Don't Panic]

The only thing he's going to tear in Baltimore is his ACL... karma's a b*tch.

[Devin]

Meh.

Ill miss willis personally. Hes always had the talent no question, I hope he succeeds wherever he goes.

[feelthepain]

Good post.

[T-Long]

Baltimore's draft picks:

1. 29th
2. 61st
3. 92nd
4. no 4th
5. 156th
6. 188th
7. 220th

I'd take the 61st overall pick for McGahee. We aren't going to have him next season anyways, so let's get what we can.

[patmoran2006]

That offense COMMITS to the run and they got a defense that will keep them in games all the time.

He'll run for at least 1400 yards if he stays healthy.. Minimum.

[clumping platelets]

How aboot our #2 and McGahee for #29? :idunno:

[gr8slayer]

I won't lie. I'll miss McGahee.

[patmoran2006]

Buffalo has precious little leverage-- I fear we only get a third... I'd be thrilled with their second right now.

[gr8slayer]

How aboot our #2 and McGahee for #29? :idunno:
How much cap space do we have left?

[clumping platelets]

plenty

I got one too. :fit:

[Mahdi]

Does anyone thing its possible were sending both Spikes and McGahee? for a 2nd? I mean Baltimore did lose Thomas and Lewis, while Ray Lewis is getting old. Not to mention the fact that Spikes' best game of the year was against Baltimore in game 17.....

[T-Long]

I got 2 and my fiance has one as well. Son of a.....

[Don't Panic]

I have three jerseys :(

Three McGahee jerseys? Damn. That'll make one hell of a fire!

[Don't Panic]

I just got a Tasker jersey in the throwback style... never have to get rid of that one!

[Coach Sal]

Baltimore plays at The Ralph next season.

That game would be just about as big as the Miami game to Bills fans. Imagine if it means something to both teams late in the season?

[BuffaloBillsStampede]

Mother Focker now my Bills throwback authentic is worthless. I thought that at least if he went to the Giants I would give it to my friend whos a Giants fan, but now its just worthless. Do we play Baltimore this year by the way?

[gr8slayer]

Latest update according to John Clayton



So much for Corey Dillon's retirement.

Dillon, who asked for and received his release from the New England Patriots last week, will visit the Buffalo Bills Thursday with hopes of landing a job. The running back has been in conversations with several teams during the last week. Buffalo is his first visit.

After finding out he would get only eight to 10 carries a game with the Patriots, Dillon wanted to be released and the team granted his request. His agents have since made contact with the Jets and Eagles along with other teams, but the Bills are the first team to show viable interest.

McGahee update: Talks between the Bills and Ravens continue to heat up for Buffalo halfback Willis McGahee. McGahee, who is entering the final year of his contract and wants out, has been on the trading block for the past few weeks and the Bills are trying their best to move him. Over the past two days, the Bills had visits from Dominic Rhodes and Chris Brown and they are going to look at Dillon on Thursday. If the Ravens are going to make a trade for McGahee, they will likely get it done soon.

Lewis exploring options: Sensing he may not have a job in Baltimore if the Ravens trade for McGahee or sign another back, Jamal Lewis arrived in Cleveland on Wednesday for a visit. Lewis knows Browns general manager Phil Savage, who worked for Baltimore as its college scouting director. Lewis has kept in contact with the Ravens and hopes to re-sign with them.

[cordog]

Watch out Baltimore skanks.....over/under 2 more kids for McGahee over the next 12 months??

[Mr. Pink]

I'd rather take Dillon and a rookie in the draft to head the backfield over Chris "i pulled my vagina again" Brown.

[RockStar36]

I'll miss Willis as well.

[Carlton Bailey]

I hope Patrick Willis tears McGahee's knee on a tackle next year when Baltimore plays in Buffalo.

dillon coming to buffalo? hmmmm..... id rather take a look at duckett b4 we go down the dillon route. a lil off topic but i hope this trade gets done and if it does best of luck to willis.

Ravens clearing cap space
Today

Posted By: Chris Brown | Time: 4:45 PM ET | Link

RAVENS CLEARING CAP SPACE: The Ravens just cut veteran guard Edwin Mulitalo according to their website. Mulitalo had three years remaining on his contract. His release takes the guard's $2 million base salary off their books for the 2007 season, but his accelerated signing bonus might make it a wash. I'll have to check that. But it's also $2 million in base salary off the books for 2008 and 2009. Anyone want to speculate as to why they're clearing cap room?

So our Bills media guy speculates that the Ravens are clearing cap room for a speculated trade of McGahee to the Ravens?

Thats just not concrete enough to justify this thread title to me.

Im for the move assuming the pick is a decent one, and I think it will happen, but I dont think theres any breaking news here yet.

[Jeff1220]

I've been on Ravens boards a lot today and they have all been saying the same thing about dropping Mulitalo and clearing cap space. Most of them are drooling at the thought of Willis in a purple jersey because "Rayray and Reed will keep him in line" and the Ravens will unlock his potential. I can't really disagree completely with this possibility, but who knows? :idunno:

And this is one reason why I never buy jerseys.

[ddaryl]

How can anyone miss Willis. The guy barely did anything, barely tried, never showed up in the offseason, told the world he was the greatest then looked like a POS afterwards, suggested Buffalo move to Toronto, fathered 3 illegitiamte children that we know about.

seriously how could anyone actually miss Willis. The only thing I will miss is the hope that he would live up to potential and be a force... he never came close, and I won't miss him even a smidgen.

In all honesty karma will plague Willis. He'll have a couple of good seasons, but in the end he'll never be there when you really need him, and he'll never carry a team when they need him. He just does not have the heart....

[gr8slayer]

Who says we have to draft an LB in round one? There are alot of elite players that weren't taken in round one playing in the league right now.

[Slim]

We would have an extra second to give up IF we needed to move and and draft someone like Brandon Siler or Puz.

yeah and how many of them came in and started and played well from day 1? So far, we've done nothing to fix the run D.

[gr8slayer]

Man, who in 2004 would have guessed that we'd trade McGahee away in 2007? What a crazy world.

[gr8slayer]

yeah and how many of them came in and started and played well from day 1? So far, we've done nothing to fix the run D.
But we have fixed our number one weakness (OL).

Off-season is still young.

[patmoran2006]

If true I got mixed feelings..

A second is a real good pick in today's market.

Sad to see Willis go as I dont think any back drafted or signed as a FA will put up his numbers that he would behind a better OL.. His attitude sucks, he could've been special with a good OL.

[cordog]

Screw next year. I want a second this year. He's worth it!!


Its a 2nd or 3rd this year and a 5th or 6th next year.

[patmoran2006]

Well at this point..
I suppose best scenario would be drafting Lynch at 12..

Then giving up the two 2's to move back up and make sure we get Siler at MLB.

Lynch aint going at 12 though.. Maybe marv can move down and STILL get him ?

But the RB we get might acutally be able to pick up the blitz

[gil]

this is awesome - we'll find another RB in the draft and have a vet to help carry the load - nicely done Marv.

[camelcowboy]

Trade for Michael Turner :up:

[Romes]

yeah and how many of them came in and started and played well from day 1? So far, we've done nothing to fix the run D.


I agree. fix the run D before going for the flashy running back.

Plus, if the OL is as good as its supposed to be finding a RB to put up 1,000 yards behind it shouldn't be difficult.

[Mahdi]

Im liking Zach DeOssie with one of our 2nd rounders.... MLB from Brown. Guy is a smart and huge MLB at 6'4 250 and ran a 4.58 at the combine.... Perfect for dropping off in coverage and defending the run.

[Marvelous]

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO

WHAT A OFFSEASON!!!!!!!!!!

--Even if our new RB isn't as talented or a sud etc, i can cheer for him without just caring so the Bills win.. I hated having to cheer/root/support McGahee because i knew he didn't care.......

Marv, has really made this team so likeable!!!!

[Philagape]

Who says we have to draft an LB in round one? There are alot of elite players that weren't taken in round one playing in the league right now.

You can ask the same thing about RB. The running game can more easily get by with less than a first-rounder.

Lynch aint going at 12 though.. Maybe marv can move down and STILL get him ?

I havent though of getting Lynch later idea. Thats a big risk though, the talent after him drops in my opinion, unless you take a risk on Bush. And i could see Beason, or Poz droping.

[HHURRICANE]

Its a 2nd or 3rd this year and a 5th or 6th next year.

Got it the first time. Rather have a second this year than a 3rd this year with a 5th or 6th next year.

A 2nd this year helps this team alot more than a 3rd.

[camelcowboy]

Not that I don't trust Devin, but has anybody found a link on this yet?

Nothing yet but Devin reported that Sirius broke the Dockery signing when he was signed. They seem to be a hour or to ahead of everyone.

[don137]

good for you guys:up:

he is a 2nd & 6th guy and Welker a 2nd & 7th guy. Had you told me that a week ago I would have laughed

The irony is Welker has below average skills but he has such a heart that it makes up for it. McGahee is the absolute opposite. All talent but no heart. Before anyone gets offended by my Welker statment I always loved the guy. He plays every play like it is his last.

[gr8slayer]

You can ask the same thing about RB. The running game can more easily get by with less than a first-rounder.
No doubt about it. I simply view Lynch as the better draft pick at twelve.

[Philagape]

If we learned two things last year, it's that the current brain trust drafts for need instead of BPA, and doesn't care about projections. Both of those factors lean toward LB.

I can live with that. In the same breath, I think that Adrian Peterson is incredibly overrated, and I hope that Bills don't even get the chance to consider this guy. He's short winded and isn't break away type of player that we need. We need a guy that can hit the hole quick and turn the afterburners on once he finds green.

Yeah, women travelling through from other parts of the NE probably. Seriously man, I love UpNY, but the women here in Maryland (as a whole) are much better looking than those in UpNY! I know you're just trying to downplay the area because Willis might be going here, but there is a lot of things Buffalo as a city could learn from Baltimore (particularly in regards to revitalization).

are you being serious? besides calvin johsnon there isnt one other guy in this draft remotely close to his talent. Break away speed? Didnt he run in the 4.3 to d4.4 range?

Per the source, there are a couple of other teams still in the hunt for McGahee. As of now, however, the Ravens are at the front of the pack.

Also, a reader tells us that there are reports on Sirius NFL Radio that such a trade would entail Baltimore sending a second-round pick and a fifth-round pick to Buffalo.

If the trade happens, Ravens likely will be signing McGahee to a long-term deal. Based on recent contracts, McGahee could get $20 million in guaranteed money. (Ray Lewis will be thrilled with that.)

Meanwhile, the Bills are looking for McGahee's eventual replacement. Chris Brown visited Buffalo on Wednesday, and Corey Dillon is up next.

are you being serious? besides calvin johsnon there isnt one other guy in this draft remotely close to his talent. Break away speed? Didnt he run in the 4.3 to d4.4 range? What have you been watching? Besides Bush(reggie), there hasnt been a better running back in college over the three year span he was thre. You are crazy man

:snicker:

[Jeff1220]

Where?

Oops, sorry. Linked above.

[HAMMER]

I have been listening to Sirius on and off all afternoon and have heard nothing, but I'm hoping......

[Dr. Lecter]

f that- who's gonna play LB?

Siler.

Willis/Bush
or
Lynch/Siler

[B-DON]

How funny would it be if he went to the titans and replaced henry again. would be a little ironic dont you think?

[camelcowboy]

Im stuck at work, can't get to my sirius anyone hear anything yet?

[X-Era]

Siler.

Willis/Bush
or
Lynch/Siler

Not Hall/Bush?

My favorite is:

Lynch/Siler/Houston

Ravens fans seem to not like the deal if its their 2nd and 6th in 08

[Saratoga Slim]

1st round - okoye
2nd round - siler
2nd round - bush
3rd round - WHO CARES!!

I sure couldn't name a better draft than that. Doubt Bush will last that long, but one can dream

Its being reported on SC from Micheal Smith as a rumor, and also on a credible Ravens board, give us a break, we are making sure its legit, but if need be, it will be moved I assure you of that.

[RedEyE]

Devin's also not a certified ****** like some of the other skid marks you listed Sab. If Devin says he heard it, then I believe him. We just need confirmation at this point.

[ublinkwescore]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to draz54 again.

Michael Smith (ESPN News) also reported it could happen tonight or tomorrow. He also said their were other teams involved like Tennesee. IMO that could help the bILLS

Yes bc the link was a KFFL report saying there was interest and his title made it sound like he had heard/saw it was a done deal. Huge difference, same thing with the Skooby thread about Dockery.

[Elminster]

This is great news if it pans out. How 'bout Okoye/Bush/Pos as our first three picks?

[kinigirly]

i thought we were celebrating?? this is totally ruining my high :mad: if you're mad at dev just kick him in his nut and get on with it

[Scumbag College]

Maybe this is a leak to try to get teams like the Giants, whom need a RB, to start a "bidding war." Just a thought.

[Mitchy moo]

:spam:

yep.

[Mr. Miyagi]

kick him in his nut
He only has one?

[SABURZFAN]

his title made it sound like he had heard/saw it was a done deal.



what's the difference with THIS title?McGahee ISN'T a Raven yet. :down:

[ublinkwescore]

And then to Denver in about 3-4 years after Baltimore is fed up with him, and Henry is due a massive signing bonus, and Denver knows who ever they plug in behind their line will be a success, so any running back is expendable there when picking up the roster bonus due to what ever back they've got isn't economically viable.

[Mitchy moo]

Dockery was in Buffalo and signed within hours when I made the thread. I got drilled for being right and this has no legs, this is SPAM.

[The Spaz]

Someone jumped the gun. Like I said if sirius reported it it should be a haedliner for them and if people aren't hearing it it must be bogus.

[jmb1099]

Wow...so Skooby and Sab are allies now?

Im not going to sit here and discuss it with you, I made the decision I did, bc you cant read correctly, its not a hard concept. You made a claim that was supported by nothing, except a standard FA visit press conference. You got the call right and props to you for that, but your thread when you made it was wrong, misleading, and I fixed it.

Apparently we have reading comprehension issues with this board, the title post clearly says that this is not confirmed and only heard on Sirius, is it my fault you jump the gun and assume the deal is a done one?

yes Im well aware, and if people would stop pissing and moaning for 10 seconds I could edit it

As of this minute, this title is wrong and this is SPAM. If you would like to keep this here it's cool. I'm going to start a new thread that JP Losman got traded away and we'll just fill in the blanks when it happens. Please move this to SPAMZONE and if it happens, we'll rejoice and bring it up for credit.

[The Spaz]

I don't think it was on sirus radio though or else other people would have heard it it. I think somebody started this from another board or so and people went along for the ride...

[RedEyE]

I want to know why the title isn't flashing on and off in bright red neon colors, followed by a "....and rep thread" ?

Only seems fair.

Working on it now, are there any other requests, bc its obvious I have nothing else to do with my evening but listen to people complain, instead of discuss a rumor.

birds of a feather - can you say insignificant?

[Don't Panic]

Yeah, women travelling through from other parts of the NE probably. Seriously man, I love UpNY, but the women here in Maryland (as a whole) are much better looking than those in UpNY! I know you're just trying to downplay the area because Willis might be going here, but there is a lot of things Buffalo as a city could learn from Baltimore (particularly in regards to revitalization).

No doubt... I mean, this isn't South Beach, but it puts Buffalo to shame as far as women are concerned looks-wise. I have friends from Buffalo whp make the trip down here all the time just to see the scenery. As for revitalization, I second that as well. What Baltimore has done is a model for what Buffalo could and should do. None of this has anything to do with Willis though... just gives me one more reason to hate the Ravens. BTW, all day long I've been hearing from the Baltimorons (Ravens fans) about how great it would be to get Willis. I just smerk and say, "He's all yours!" Don't let the door hit your backside on the way out, Willis.

I think so too, thanks! :bandwagon

[GarnOFreak]

okay so I'm already think about how we could do trade to move around in the draft....I know it's sad, but last year the Bers took a 2nd and 3rd for their 1st rounder.... why not this year as well?

43 + 74 for pick#31, heck if we could go 61 and 74 for #37.....
12- Okoye
37- Bush
43- Siler
And they should be there.....(here's wishing)

C'mon Ravens do the right thing!

[RedEyE]

Threads Merged, sorry no blinky title yet Red, Im only one man!


Too bad. Now someone is bound to miss the 10 page recoil and its 3 star classification.

p.s. C'mon Giants do the right thing(and up the ante....your pick is better!)

[LtBillsFan66]

I hope one of his baby momma shoots him in his good knee. After the deal is finalized of course.

[GarnOFreak]

would it help if we all started screaming for Marv to keep McGahee? Will they want him more? I'll tap dance if it'll help....

Latest on ESPN just says were talking. About time for bed. I dont think it will break tonight.

Well somebody obviously lied about it being on sirius as a done deal period.

**** that, I don't trust anybody that says he's a Bills fan then trades away JP.


Ebenezer Norsemen send a 2007 2nd and 4th round rookie pick to the Oklahoma Outlaws(Devin) for JP Losman.

Three McGahee jerseys? Damn. That'll make one hell of a fire!

i got the throwback and i got my damn dog one too...well now he can use it to piss on i guess...

well mcgahee, its been real, its been fun...but it aint been real fun.

have fun dancin on NFL network commercials in a ravens jersey

Get out the Singer........


Bledsoe to Parrish-style.


Maybe Dillon will wear it.

[Jan Reimers]

I won't lie. I'll miss McGahee.
I guess many posters will, but I don't get why anyone would miss a guy who never really interacted with his teammates, had no respect for the organization, didn't know the playbook, and played with passion only a fraction of the time.

How can you miss a guy with no heart and no soul?

[ublinkwescore]

I'm on board with that - I hope we land Dillon.

[ShadowHawk7]

good for you guys:up:

he is a 2nd & 6th guy and Welker a 2nd & 7th guy. Had you told me that a week ago I would have laughed
Yeah, WTF? :mad: How'd you get away w/ that?

[RedEyE]

Sirius is now denying rumors that they claimed the McGahee trade happened.

I just got off the phone with them and they said I was about the 50th caller inquiring about the same thing.

Anyway, I think it's really odd that this "rumor" broke free just hours before the Lewis contract occured.

Either someone from Cleveland was clever enough to enduce chaos or someone from Buffalo. Either way, nothing else is going to happen tonight.

You can all officialy stop dreaming of spending that 2nd round pick now.

[SABURZFAN]

Someone jumped the gun.



yeah........it was Devin. :rolleyes:

Nothing new here. Local radio in the Baltimore / Washington area is saying that ESPN has reported that talks are "heating up." Whatever that means.

I don't think this thread is spam as some have suggested. It's rumor, but it's a legit rumor and it's pretty much been reported here as rumor.

[tampabay25690]

I think this trade will happen 1st thing tomorrow reports are that the Bills will receive a 2nd and 5th round pick for Wills, that would be greta news....

Why would we burn our draft picks to get turner when we can keep them and draft a superior RB on top of that.

He's as good as any back in this draft.

I liked devin's rumor better, at least we received a second rounder
