Draft News for the Warpath

A question: Let's say we are in the 2nd round, and the Saints offer to do some trade for Brown. IF it includes Rocky, do we have to get him to sign his tender before we could make that trade? or do we hold his rights for trade purposes without him signing. I just wonder how that works within the time constraints of the draft?

I thought someone said players have up till a certain date to sign them or teams to trade for them. Otherwise they are automatically set at the tender price. They do get a chance later after the draft to again be traded or some crap like that.

ESPN Insider is reporting that if the Lions take Okung tomorrow at #2 then Haynesworth will be dealt to Detroit for their 3rd (#66) in this draft. Also, the Redskins are close to shipping McIntosh away for a 5th rounder. Just what was reported via Matt Mosley and Ross Tucker.

If the Skins do that then that shows me just how much of a stubborn hard-ass Shanahan must be. A third round pick for Haynesworth is not nearly enough.

What about a 3rd this year and Detroit's 1st next year, for AH and our 4th?

Not following the logic here. If they take Okung, what does that have to do with Haynesworth?

i like it but w/o our 4th, i really think ah could be a huge deal to whomever gets him, they will be getting almost a 75% discount

Detroit needs an OT and a DT. If they take Okung, then they won't be able to draft Suh. Haynesworth fills the need at DT.

I wouldn't read too much into the trades for Haynesworth...Shanny is smart, he may not want a cancer on his team but he is going to either keep Haynesworth and make him play NT b/c if nothing else AH's stock is going to fall if he keeps up his bitching and he'll realize that a better contract will not be forthcoming. And if a trade does happen, I would not accept anything less than a 1st rounder or multiple 2nds.

I still think some kind of package to send AH to New Orleans for Brown would be the best straight up deal.

If we trade AH for a 3rd rounder we will be called the Ass-skins! & we will probably deserve the name IMO. DON'T TRADE AH, DON'T TRADE AH.

I don't like AH for a 3rd period. That is terrible compensation. Not even worth the time and a slap in the face to the FO for offering such a low pick for the best DT in the game.

I can say honestly that I don't agree with the FO to make this pick.

I still don't understand how can anyone call Haynesworth a cancer, when we have Rocky bitching at getting tendered, we had Portis calling out Sellers and asking for him to be replaced, we've had Springs (who is a good guy) completely disappear in the offseason and getting called out by his own teammates about it. I'm not saying he's a saint, but some people are being over dramatic about it.
