Yeah, we discussed this in phinchat prior - while the price is steep there are ways to finagle the situation to make it work for us.

All you have to do is throw a player into the mix, like say JT.

You offer JT and a 3rd.

or JT and Ricky.

JT and a 3rd will not get you Anderson. If it does, be glad that Spielman is channeling his expertise to the Browns. Phil Savage isn't that foolish.

Also we all have to remember who is running the show. If anyone thought that Mueller could somehow pull draft picks out of his ying-yang then watch this guy and all of his showmanship. Parcells loves to trade down, his second year in Dallas he traded down a couple of times, and helped build depth on his team even though it didn't show up in the win colum. We should expect the same - especially with the 1st pick in the second round, I have a feeling we won't be picking there.

Seriously, I sure hope Parcells knows that lesson......personally I will be shocked and saddened if we use picks prior to the draft to acquire a backup QB.

No i'm responding to people who don't want to give up picks. Well you're gonna give up something if you want him so get used to it.

By the way get mad at the guy who started the rumor not me for giving other suggestions.

P.S. those best players we have are past their prime - they will be leaving soon too, might as well get used to it rather than be emotionally attached.

IF we were considering the trade giving up JT and Ricky would be WAY better a deal for us than giving up our first and third. Personally I don't think this story has legs any more than conjecture.

I don't know. It's possible. Cleveland would likely seriously consider it. If they don't move one of their QBs, they will have an enormous chunk of cap space tied up in the two of them.

I'd swap firsts for Derek Anderson.

That would be HUGE for Cleveland, who could then add McFadden to that crazy offensive core.

Yeah it is, if we can do it.

but I re-read that and I missed a little.

Mostly I should have mentoned we will be putting off enough smokescreens this year that we will have firetrucks parked outside the Team Offices. Thus we shouldn't get all in a tizzy regarding every rumor out there.

Just say no when it comes to trading for other teams QB's. Have we learned nothing from the past?
