its hilarious how much people are overvaluing lito

The thing is the guy is still under contract and a very good player. Why give him up cheaply if you don't have to? At this point a high first would be fair value. I just don't like the idea of using him to trade up. If they could get a high second for him then they could use their second to move up if they are so inclined.

They don't have to. The Bengals aren't dealing Chad, we don't have to deal Lito. The argument that he'll make the locker room miserable is BS. He'll show up and earn a pay check when all is said and done.

Every time I agree with King Cole I die a little inside, but he's right.

Lito just went from being a moderately paid starting cornerback to the highest paid nickle in the NFL.

he wouldnt be a nickle....sheldon would...and if they had even a little inclanation that he was coming back he wouldnt have left the team for all intents and purposes

hes gone the sooner you get used to that the better youll feel

pretty sure I have the market cornered* on mocking people who expect to get great value for Lito

*intentional, for Rome

Apparently Lito had more than three days left as an Eagle on April 16. The odds seem very against that today, though.

I can't wait to throw up in my mouth when the Eagles give him away for virtually nothing on draft day. The Negadelphian in me says he'll either go for something obscenely low (late third round) or packaged together in some trade that the Eagles could have just as easily made without including Lito.

Given the way the Eagles draft though, I wouldn't even be that thrilled to see him traded for a 2nd and a fifth, or used to move up in the first. I feel like if he's part of a trade for anything other than established NFL talent, it's probably going to be a net loss for the Eagles. I want players that definitely will have an impact this year.

Um, I like funny puns, not stupid ones.

It was a countdown, QB.. started at 10 days..

But I agree with you.. it's kind of like you know you're going to get punched in the face by the school bully when you get off the bus, but your mom makes you go anyway. The entire bus ride, you are dreading what happens. And, sure as shtein, you step off the bus and BAM.. right in the kisser....

Lito a 2nd and a 5th for Boldin, that would be my proposal.

And I am preparing myself for them trading Lito and #19 to move up ahead of Denver and Carolina to get one of the OTs.

Equally, I am preparing myself to see Dallas (two #1's), Washington (willing to give their whole draft) or Kansas City (has picks out the ass) get Boldin.

ed werder said on sportcenter tonight to look for the cowboys to trade for roy williams on sat possibly while they are on the clock with one of their picks

PhillyPhreak54 · April 23, 2008, 07:43:23 PM

That would make me monumentally angry.

Andy and your boy Joey B better draft 11 CBs then.

i'm pretty sure nothing could happen that would be worse than trading down with dallas and drafting a quarterback in the second round.

pretty sure.

General_Failure · April 23, 2008, 08:37:21 PM

Trading up with Dallas and drafting a quarterback in the first round?

Munson · April 23, 2008, 08:43:50 PM

So how would the Cowboys go about that Roy Williams situation on the backs of the jerseys?

Sgt PSN · April 23, 2008, 08:45:14 PM

Maybe they'll come up with some crazy way of telling players apart like assigning each player their own number.

I hate Dallas but I don't get the fury over trading with them. Taking Kolb was another issue, but trading with Dallas...is there reason to get mad?

Dallas landing Roy Williams to play opposite T.O. on the same day the Eagles trade away a player capable of defending one of those guys while not acquiring a receiving threat of their own is actually much, much worse.
