NFL GRAPEVINE PRICE FOR TURNER: In talking to some people around the league I'm hearing that Chargers RFA RB Michael Turner could be had for a high second round pick. That obviously limits the number of teams that could make a play for Turner to those at or near the top of the second round this year, if that is the true asking price. I suppose if a team that wasn't at the top of the second round was desperate enough they could offer a first.
It wouldn't surprise me if teams that are interested try to wait it out though. San Diego GM A.J. Smith would obviously love to get value this year for a player that will likely be out the door for nothing next year. The longer he waits the less he will likely get in return for Turner. Of course if just one team can't land the RB they want in the draft he could get lucky and name his price.
While some teams might like the talent that Turner brings, there is the other deterrent of signing him to a lucrative long term deal.
I don't know if I'd give up a first for him, but I'd have to strongly consider giving up a 2nd if that's indeed all it would take. Again it's just rumblings I'm hearing. Nothing definitive.
We'll have to see if Turner talk heats up around the league. Stay tuned.
The chances we are taking with him are smaller than the ones we would take on a rookie RB....therefore I say trade for him and with our two 3rd rounders trade up in the draft or maybe use those 2 third rounders or a package a couple later round picks for Turner? just ideas...thought i'd post it
