There was a 3 Team Trade with the Lions, Eagles and Broncos Here is my speculation with what is happening. As I pointed out a few weeks back about a trade with the lions. The Lions just got Schefflet TE from Broncos for a pick and then traded Sims to the Eagles. As I see it with the rumors surrounding Ronnie Brown. Since we need a TE: The Dolphins Sens Ronnie Brown and a pick or swap some picks to the Lions for Scheffler and Avril. Perhaps Merling is in the deal too. This is just IMO but I feel this was the first step in a surprise draft for Miami.. www.pft.com
Bro, our Front Office just traded for Brandon Marshall, it's not going to get more suprising than that.
I honestly don't know what kind of value Avril has, but since Denver just traded Scheffler for a 6, we would be pretty foolish to give up Ronnie Brown for him AND include more of our draft picks.
\ Wow...giving up the farm for a decent LBer and 2nd string TE ?? I'm just hoping your name isn't Parcells, Ireland or Sparano....
If you read what I stated.. It would be for Schfler and Avril possibly. I know I'm hopeful but I do see something in the works.
I just read Adam Schefter from ESPN said the Eagles and the Packers are both interested in trading up to the top 12 in the draft. I found it interesting they both said 12 since we know the Dolphins have the 12th. Could be coincidence and nothing or it could mean Ireland and Parcells are working on a trade down. http://www.kffl.com/hotw/nfl
They are the Lions. They don't block. Jeff Backus is their LT. I might rather have Pettigrew in pass protection.
i know less Berry, i would be .... there seems to be several teams wanting to 'move down' with us likely being one of them. the 'winner' will be determined by the cost of moving up ... and what the 'uppers' deem an acceptable price.
Yeah, I was just thinking that. Pettigrew is supposed to be more of a blocking TE, as opposed to a receiving TE. Hence the reason most Lions fans around here were upset with his production. The fans were expecting a receiving TE, and got a blocking TE and now theyre upset Either way though, I like the trade for the Lions. I'm a bit surprised they shipped off Sims though. I thought that even their new regime we're high on him. Oh well.
Only way I could see us making a deal, is if it was for Pettigrew + a 2nd. Then it MIGHT be worth considering, though personally I still wouldnt do it. Ronnie has more value than that if he is healthy. Much more value.
Sims was in a contract year and apparently they felt they could do better than him. This according to Schefter.
Scheffler or Schefter? Damn this game is getting confusing. Anyway,I don't see it happening. The trades(for players) is not going to happen for us now.Let's concentrate on what we do with #12 on Thursday.
How the hell do the Eagles only give up a 5th for a very good NFL LB in Ernie Sims?? He's young too! Meanwhile we'll either pay a ton for one or draft one in the 1st round. wtf.
We don't really need Scheffler, our offense will be based more around the recievers than the tight ends with the aquisition of Marshall and the talk of trading Ronnie it's definitely not going to be a typical Parcells offense. So i'd have to say I don't see any chance of this happening at all.
