Eagles working to trade TO?

If TO could generate a bidding war, why would he/Rosenhaus want a trade?

If Denver wins the Superbowl they won't want him.

Here's what the Birds should trade TO for: TJ Duckett, some draft picks, and some cash! Don't think I'm crazy, even though TJ's numbers aren't all that impressive, I still think he has a making of a Bettis-type RB: big, powerful, but quick. If the Birds don't get him, then it's a major dissapointment to be a fan.

What I'm thinking is that the Eagles have let Rosenhaus and Owens test the waters to see how much they can get--I don't expect, even with incentives, any team will pay Owens what he would have gotten from the Eagles, especially with the CBA up in the air and any incentives would have to count in this year's cap. And some team who was close might not like their chances of landing him if he winds up in the open market, so they can deal a low round pick to rewrite his contract.

Ed, I'm blaming you now.

Wow, that's so true. The fate of this team rides on whether or not they acquire TJ Duckett and if they don't all hope is lost.

lol....when's the last time an NFL trade included "cash?"

MadMarchHare · January 24, 2006, 08:19:52 AM

I think the Gruden "trade" from Oakland included cash.

Zanshin · January 24, 2006, 08:23:59 AM

For a player, doof.

BigEd76 · January 24, 2006, 10:01:18 AM

So....with Denver choking the AFCCG away at home, is there any extra incentive to go after TO now?

Zanshin · January 24, 2006, 10:04:02 AM

More than if they didn't....even though WR didn't seem to be the problem. Is Rod Smith coming back next year?

i'm TO wouldn't cause any problems on a team that runs the ball more than they throw and a QB that is mistake prone.

TO had the perfect situation here, last year, and he was bitching about it after he got hurt.

Tom Nalen, Jake Plummer, Gerard Warren, John Lynch, Al Wilson, Champ Bailey and Keith Burns all are pimping TO to Denver management according to Mike Miss. He read a quoate from Nalen saying that they could keep TO in check.
