Well even if they were planning on trading him, they'd probably say they weren't. Given that they aren't able to trade him right now, there is no reason for them to tell everyone they are going to. Only the redskins destroy a players value before trading them.
:lol:aint that the truth
The Eagles have been open about trading away Kolb... is that destroying his value?

I would just say in that case folks can draw a line to Vick as the reason they are trading him, maybe if the Bengals were open to trading away Palmer some may thing he has diminishing talent thus lowering his value.

Scratch that what I said earlier about offering Mike Brown a 1st and 3rd. Vinny has set the record straight once and for all. That idiot offered Brown TWO #1 picks for Ocho.
The Redskins once offered two No. 1 picks for Chad Ochocinco - DC Sports Bog - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-sports-bog/post/the-redskins-once-offered-two-no-1-picks-for-chad-ochocinco/2011/05/25/AGnj6KBH_blog.html)
“I mean, I was part of trying to trade for Chad Ochocinco, and when they said no, they meant no. And Marvin [Lewis] would have done it. Two No. 1s, that’s exactly what it was. And I talked to Katie Blackburn’s husband all the time, and he just said listen. I talked to him at the owners’ meetings, and I called him. He said no is no, quit calling, we’re not trading him...
I remember Ocho was over the age of 30 at the time, and this clown offered two No. 1s for him. How this clown still gets interviews is beyond me. How Mike Brown still is able to walk around Cincinnati is beyond me. They should run that guy out of town for turning down that for Ocho. I'm glad they saved us from ourselves. Much like the Bears did with Briggs.

I don't know why he's saying that now, because it wasn't two no. 1's. And I know that's not what he said two years ago, or however long ago it was.
Oh well, in the past now.

Can you pull some strings at your work to make sure this clown never gets anymore airtime ever again? I'll even pay...lol

I think the whole thing about diminishing a player's value is way overblown. Teams have a good idea of what other teams are doing and thinking regardless of what is said in public. Acknowledging a player is on the trade block isn't an uncommon tactic, nor does it ruin trade value like some seem to think.

I would be dumb for them to trade Kolb if they can keep him without huge cap ramifications. Vick had a nice start last season, but sort of faded to his ATL type days at the end there.

On the flip side, Brown is holding a hard line cause if he lets Palmer go then it could open the flood gates. At this point I'm not even sure Palmer would command a lot of draft picks.

You know what's going to happen: We'll trade a 2nd for Palmer, he'll flop here while his kid brother Jordan (a former Redskin) will lead the Bengals back to glory
Seriously though, I find it so curious that Jordan Palmer is penciled in as the Bengals starter right now and could be (if Carson leaves) taking over for his brother who wants out of there so badly. Must be a fun conversation at the family dinner table
