This thought just came to me and just wanted to see what you guys thought....First off, I want to state that I am NOT in favor of trading Travis but if we do, how about trading him to Atlanta for Duckett(and a draft pick, maybe a third).....This way we would still have thunder and lightning and Travis would become a star and recieve the recognition he deserves plus he is out of our confrence..
Trade possibility??

Then we would have two unproven RBs and a third rounder who just might turn out to be Coy Wire or Tim Anderson.
Bottom Line: Why would we trade Travis for a lesser back and an unknown draft pick?
Bottom Bottom Line: Why would we trade Travis at all at this point in time?Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

I'm not saying now, I mean after the season...and like i said earlier I am NOT in favor of trading Travis...if it was up to me I would trade McGAYee, but going off the media it will probabaly be Travis and i want good value for the trade..I don't think we should expect equal or better value when and if the trade ever happens. What we should accept would be something that would help us out(Maybe an O-linemen and a draft pick)

Reason #2: If we can get a 1st rounder and a proven player at a needed position, e.g., Ogunleye, that's better for the team overall.Last edited by Mr. Cynical; 08-18-2004, 05:20 PM.

2.) You cannot trade a durable, proven warrior who has gained 1300+ yards per season over the last 2 years in favor of a guy who is coming off a horrendous knee injury, has carried the ball exactly 13 times in 1 preseason game, and - because of the injury - is a complete question mark.
3.) There is no sense in solving the Fins biggest problem by providing them our only proven running back, while we hope and pray that Willis stays healthy and returns to somewhere near his college form.
4.) Do you think that TD is certifiably insane?Last edited by Jan Reimers; 08-18-2004, 06:57 PM.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

2. You can trade an RB whose time is running out (do you really believe he will be here next year?) if you are presented with a trade that is too good to pass up. I don't care what team it is, all I know is that if we can get our 1st round pick back in addtion to a proven starter at a need position like DE or C, we should do it. And since the Fins are in such dire trouble I have no problem taking advantage of it and sticking it to them for a boatload of stuff.
3. See #2.
4. Insane, no. Insanely egotistical yes. However he is not stupid. He won't trade TH unless he is presented with "an offer he can't refuse". NO player is untradeable. If you get lulled into that kind of thinking you are not trying to improve the team IMO.

No pun Hermanator but Dumping Henry is the worst thing we could do since drew is as questionable as they come.

Grateful for the only sign off life on our offense last year, even with a broken leg and cracked ribs...
