I'll be shocked if Whitner sticks around here

I dont have any on the record source to verify or confirm anything, but I'm going to say it anyway. I will be shocked if Donte Whitner is not traded-- and soon.

Tendering of Wilson and signing of Scott says something is in the works for Whitner.

What makes you think this? I haven't heard about the new staff saying anything bad about him, not that you would I guess. I wouldn't mind seeing him gone and Wilson take his place, IF we were to get a decent (at least a 3rd) pick for him.

Well I think anyone can come up with that right now.

The Skins did just cut 10 guys....def. a possibility there. Shanahan usually is a player in Free Agency and moves like this

If Whitner goes to Washington he will thrive in a big way. Orakpo, Peppers, Carter and Haynesworth wreaking havoc up front will allow Whitner to make plays on the back end and then we will be wondering why we got rid of him.

So the former eighth overall pick must have an all-star cast in front of him in order to succeed? That makes him even less worth keeping. Ship him out.

Same can be said for Ed Reed and Troy Pola.

Re: I'll be shocked if Whitner sticks around here

It can? I'm pretty sure those two would still make plays even if they were on the Bills. I didn't see Byrd making excuses last season. All he did was change games.

Whitner is nothing but an interchangeable passenger. I want him gone.

Whitner is a POS and a total bust. Mahdi's opinion just lost 10 value points.

Re: I'll be shocked if Whitner sticks around here

Well if you actually paid attention to how Whitner has been used in his time in Buffalo you would understand why Byrd, Reed, Pola etc have made plays and he has not.

Whitner is not as good as those guys but he has been used as a utility guy since he was drafted.

He plays in a soft, conservative defense and is asked to cover deep zones, cover WRs and play as a box safety in run support.

The other guys roam around the field and track the football, it is a completely different role plus they have the advantage of aggressive front 7's in front of them to hurry throws and bad decisions.

Maybe send Whitner plus a pick to the Browns for Shaun Rogers, if he is indeed available for trade as has been rumored.

I will drive his whiney ass to the airport.
