I have News: "Dolphins shopped hard for a WR."

Wow, maybe those will pick back up with the multiple picks we have sense accumilated?

 

That's not a hard claim. I claim they are still shopping and already picked up Anthony Armstrong in a trade.

Deion Branch is now out there for the taking. Doubt he will make it to the Phins but could be a nice pick up.

 

Both nice players. Washington getting a bit up there in years, but that's why he might be available whereas Maclin would not be.

 

He's only 29. Far from "up there in years" for a WR.

 

Maclin would cost at least a 1st round pick IMO. Not sure about Washington though. I'd offer up to a third round pick but no more.

 

Doesn't sound too off the wall to me....during TC, other teams won't necessarily have total opinions of the guys they have...if anything, I would think that making deals during camp, especially after the 2nd game is pretty tough...

 

Well, at least we tried.... right?

 

I got initally excited when I thought of Branch, but is he just a poor man's D Bess right now? We need someone to complement Bess, not duplicate him
rem: Branch was mediocre in Seattle

 

Don't think we stood a chance of ripping Maclin away from Philly w/o grabbing our ankles in the process.

 

We are due another stiff one as we are just healing from A.J. Felley.

 

Getting nowhere on Maclin is not a surprise. Getting nowhere on Washington is a surprise. One would think that Nate Washington could be had.

 

i'm glad the washington trade didn't work out, so i guess the hard knocks crew got told to STFU

 

I'd give up a 2nd + another pick for Maclin, but Philly probably demanded a 1st. Too bad.

 

Who would you rather be able to get if they could, Maclin or Harvin?

 

Maclin, and it's not even close.

 

With Jeff Ireland's rep for getting good value in trades, I imagine he lowballed them.

"Hi Rus... so, yeah, I was just thinking, Nate Washington would look good in aqua and orange. Yeah wife's fine, So look, how about a fifth?........ Hello?....... Russ?.......

Hangs up and scracthes head.

"Huh, that's a surprise. It worked when Indy did it."

 

yeah. Harvin's a headache.

 

That's were I'm leaning towards as well.

 

this news is better than thinking we are doing nothing to address the problem. i would be pissed if ireland didnt atleast offer a 2nd for maclin. i wondering what the asking price for washington was. a 3rd is as far as i would be willing to give.

 

Depending on compensation it could be.

 

Boooooooooooo!

 

And the Eagles conversation went like this:
Ireland "So I would like Maclin, how about a 4th and a conditional 6th?"
Eagles GM "Uhm the last #1 WR you traded for you gave up two 2's?"
Ireland "Doh"

 

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! I'll be here all week!

Trai the Mai Tais!

 

I don't see it as a surprise. He's better than given credit for and the coaches love him.

 

And by "shopped" they mean that they looked in a local grocery store for somewho looks fast and can maybe run routes.

 

I hear Kenny Britt was cut.

You don't take chances on bad personalities unless the talent is big and the payment is small.

For Chad Johnson only 1 of those 2 requirements fit.

For Kenny Britt they both fit.

 

what ???? get this guy in here ASAP

 

First I'm hearing of this. Link?

 

I think he'd have to go through waivers.

 

there is no way in hell he makes it to us with the 8th waiver spot...damn should have traded a 7th rounder

 

love the player as he is a clone of marshall. HATE the personality.

No way Philbin would be cool with a wr like him but i would

 

EDIT: NEVER MIND. Bad information. Britt has NOT been released. I would be all over him if he was though.

 

Dang. Got really excited there. Oh well.

 

That's what sh-- never mind...

 

Thank God Miami didn't give up a 1st for Maclin, because it is going to be a Top 5 pick......actually Philly looks stupid for not doing it to be honest....

You have to yourself from Phillys POV....is Maclin worth a Top 5 or at the worst Top 10 pick and a 2nd rounder?

I do.....

 

I see what you did there.
