    Potential Trades...your take...

    would anybody be upset if TD were to trade away Drew Bledsoe, Travis Henry and Josh Reed???

    What would you want in return? I'd be happy with 3rd round choices for each of them...with a 2nd and 4 3rd rounders I am sure that TD could do some wheeling and deeling and get us back in the first round and save some money on the cap.

    Bledsoe has little to no trade value because teams know its his last year here, and they could get him for nothing in a year. You best bet would be to package Reed and Henry for like a Bryant Johnson and a #3 something along those lines. But trades are not easy to come by so moving all three is a pipe dream
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

      im just being a realist drew has zero trade value at this point in his career IMO that isnt drew bashing just reality. he will play somewhere next year just not for big $$$ and becuz of that no one will trade for him and if someone is foolish enough maybe a 5th at best. henry will net a 2nd rounder and josh reed isnt going anywhere IMO

        I'd be very happy with that because I don't think we could get close to 3rd round picks for Drew or Reed
        Drew Bledsoe ****ing sucks

          Trade'em all and get whatever we can. I will shed no tears over any of them. I think Travis was a good back but to me, he came off like the starting job was handed to Willis instead of McGahee playing better which is total bullcrap.

          Henry kept quiet about his demotion over the past two months, but Monday, he said "I don't think I lost my job. It was given away ... so let's get that straight."
          F that, Travis, you punk! You stank up the joint and Willis stomped your tail out of the spot because he was BETTER!
          McGahee urged Henry to stay, challenging his teammate to come back and battle for the starting job.

          "I'm pretty sure he's going to be back," McGahee said. "He's got to come back and fight for it, fight for what's yours because I would do the same thing."
          No he's not, Willis. He won't stay and he won't compete cuz it was obvious to the world you are a better back than he is and he knows it. He's too much of a ***** to admit it, thus saying the job was 'given away.'

          Screw Henry, screw Dropsie Reed, and the biggest "screw you" to Bledsoe.

          Trade'em ALL.

              Henry running his damn mouth like that in the press is pissing me off. Teams see that and it drives down his trade value. They know we have to move him when he mouths off like that

                I lost a lot of respect for Henry after seeing these comments. Willis probably lost respect for him, too.

                  I would take 3rd round draft choices for all three of those guys too. Don't hold your breath though. Henry will probably get a 3rd, bledsoe might be cut and the other teams know it so you get nothing there, Reed you might get a late round pick at best, but I doubt it.

                    I would keep Reed, who still might blossom into a decent 3rd receiver. If Aiken beats him out for that job, Reed still provides depth at the number 4 spot.

                    Travis needs to go, and should be worth a 3rd rounder.

                    If Drew won't restructure, and/or refuses a backup role, we should get what we can via player trade or draft pick. It probably won't be as high as a 3rd rounder, however.
                    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 think we'd do well to get a 5th or 6th for Drew. It reminds me of the Tim Couch situation, where the Browns wanted to trade him but since teams knew they HAD to unload him, they just waited for him to be cut.

                        I want to see Reed stay with us this year as well as Drew for the sole purpose of JP's clipboard holder. Ya gotta give it up for Drew. He earned that clipboard!

                            Henry's a decent back but his time here has come and gone- thanks for the 1400 yard seasons, but Willis is the man now. Hopefully we'll get a second for him

                            As far as Bledsoe and Reed- well I'm not sold on Reed, but losing him would mean Sam Aiken and J Smith would have to step up or we'd need to find a third WR. If we got a 3rd rounder for him it would be worth it, but that's unlikely.

                            Bledsoe- I'd rather see him stay as a back up so we have someone with experience and familiarity with the system behind Losman. But as far as trade bait I don't think it matters- no one will take him, because if the Bills start shopping him, everyone will know he's done and they can sign him cheap.

                              I'd prefer to sucker someone into some higher picks for these three, like New England did to us with Drew and we did to the Falcons with Pee Pee...
