Rocky trade is a possibility

Rocky is a good enough NFL linebacker, but I can't necessarily see a team that he would go to and start for, which limits his trade value.

If we released him, he'd get signed pretty quickly, but not for too much more than his tender offer.

A 2nd for Rocky?

Not gonna happen.

Yup, not even close. I'd say more like a 5th.

While I'm sure plenty of teams value Rocky at a 5th round pick, I doubt that any team will be willing to pull the trigger at that price. He's not getting an extension from that team, so what they are essentially getting at the price is a one year contract with a CBA dependent option for a second year.

So, what exactly do you expect from a 2nd round draft pick? Obviously you don't think a 4th or later round draft pick will best him.

So who are we looking at as a possible trade partner. Only team I can think of is the Saints. Maybe the Eagles if we want to keep this "all in the division" thing going.

Which is the reason that if we shopped Rocky to all 31 teams, 27 would say they aren't interested in him at any price.

With the remaining 4 teams, it's all about deciding if the price they are going to give you is worth not having Rocky on the roster for this year. If the best offer you get is a seventh rounder...maybe you don't do that. Maybe you do. We will see.

You guys are doing what this team has done for years... undervaluing your own players. That's a big mistake, for McIntosh and Campbell are solid value for their play on and off the field.

This is also why I predict Rocky McIntosh will not be traded: we can't a nice return for him, so why not just let him play out the season here as (if nothing else) a nickel defender who can replace Fletch on third downs.

This is opposed to what other team fans do with asking for second and third round picks for guys who we've never heard of. I mean if you think our bad you should see all the wonderful "forum offers" for Cooley that are out there from fans of other teams. It's like random player A, random player B, and a 4th round pick. Maybe we'll get lucky but I'm proud that our fan base is straying away from thinking like they're playing Madden. God knows they do it in so many other areas.

I'm guessing he's a 5th round value, at best.
