Draft Picture Update, Bengals Aftermath

Trade Portis if you keep Zorn. Can Zorn, hire Cohwer and Portis runs for 2000+ yards next year...

You can't Portis would cost us $13 million in dead cap space. Either way Zorn is done. Not only has he lost the team but since the loss to Steelers our offense has averaged 11 points a game. As I've said in other threads the benefits Cowher will bring will be numerous but lately I also find myself with a man crush for Russ Grimm who essentially is in essence a Cowher-Gibbs hybrid. Of course my only concern is how much influence would he have in destroying the current front office structure. Cowher is a virtual gurantee to blow it up. Grimm is more likely to slightly shake it up though I wouldn't mind seeing the team hire a guy like Phil Savage should he become available.

You never know, we took the bait on Jason TaylorWe can't trade with ourselves. There was no market for Jason Taylor, like there's no market for Taylor, Springs, Washington, Daniels, Rabach, Betts, and Moss right now.

Well I would argue that Moss could easily generate some type of market value but the rest of those guys you mentioned have virtually little trade value short of a 7th round pick, if that.

Who wants these players?


Hey, someone might. I'd say Randle El should be on the block, maybe Betts, possibly Springs. They'd be taking a chance on him being healthy but he's still solid.

No matter what happens, El will be cut...

I bet Betts could get a fourth.

What makes you say that. At this point it would be virtually pointless. He's still productive and on top of that he would provide us with about $6 million worth of dead cap. Plus if Cowher comes over you can bet your ass that he's not going anywhere.

That's my point. Portis is here. Cowher would run him for 2000+ yards.

Speaking of the draft. The ultimate irony would be finding a way to get Sam Bradford and have him play for the Redskins. Oh well, think about for a second it'll come to you.
