AH smooty you've done it again! bj and the bear's. :biggthump

Personally I didn't think BJ was really a big enough blocker to fit in with what gibb's want's to do, especially when you have a similar back in rock who may even be better than BJ, nice move by the front office if that's the case, I am surprised the new orleans didn't offer something up they obviously were the team most interested?

I'm just glad to see we're getting something for him, even if it's just a 6th rounder...

Yeah at least it's something.

I agree, who knows what we can get in the 6th round. It could be a August Casuality, but who knows, it could be a star. At least we have the chance of getting a good player if the deal goes through.

What an interesting way to play the RFA game. I just didn't think of it. If he's signed, we lose him for nothing; if we trade him for anything (asuming we don't have to give money), it's better. The risk: no one bites, and we have to pay him big or cut him to save cash. I get the feeling Danny boy just loves this part of the game.

Or maybe they just like BJ... Too bad he couldn't participate in the minicamp so we could evaluate him.

its official now....

So instead of nothing, we get a 6th rounder. That's pretty nifty, if you ask me. Must be pissing the saints off.

Some nifty wheelin' and dealin' by Snyder!

Rather than letting him slip away to the Saints for nothing, we pick up a 6th rounder, and the best part is there's no cap hit and no dead money.

Kudos, FO. A little Gibbs smarts involved with this deal, anyone?
