I'd trade Yoder for that too.

Were this offer on the table you would pull the trigger in a minute. But the Raiders already have a decent tight end so I don't think Cooley is going anywhere.

Why would you trade BOTH? Who would want 2 SS's in a trade? Would have to be 3-way and not worth the effort.

I don't know where you guys get the value of our players from.

I didn't mean to trade them both.. I'm just saying that we should try and see what their value is.. If we could get like 2nd or 3rd rd for one of them, we probably should go ahead and take it.. We could use the pick to draft OT or C..

Why a 1st and a 3rd? It's totally arbitrary. We can't trade him to ourselves, so aside from the Skins, the only teams stupid enough to trade a 1st and 3rd for a TE are Dallas and Oakland.

If someone offered that much I'd certainly take it, but it's not ever going to happen so it seems like a wasted discussion. Especially with how enamored Danny and Vinny are with skill players. This line of thinking (trading good vets for multiple picks) is the exact opposite of the way we do business unfortunately.

Yes . We have the worst offense with him , we are not going to get any worse . I doubt we would find a team willing to part with a 1 & 3 . There isn't a single Veteran on this team I wouldn't ship for a 1st and 3rd . We have not won anything with this core of vets , time to make some changes .

I understand why you question it...

However, I have to ask you...where did you get the drugs that you are taking? If you are willing to share, I am more then willing to particpate....I wish I could dream these crazy thoughts...you think our offense if bad now? What do you think it would look like if we took our most consistent receiver out of the equation? Also, what do you think it would look like if you took Campbell's most comfortable target away...dream on dreamer...

mmil12 · 10-17-2009, 09:47 PM

anyone got anything to say...

dmek25 · 10-17-2009, 10:02 PM

our most consistent receiver helped us lose to the lions, and was held without a catch last week

ChickenMonkey · 10-17-2009, 10:28 PM

no ones giving up a 1st and 3rd for a tight end....More like Santana Moss for a 2nd and a 3rd....Id take that right off the bat.....

Throw in Betts in the package (a token of appreciation) just for the Heck of it.

Assuming that we could use both first round picks for offensive linemen, along with regaining the third round pick we lost for Jarmon, I would probably be in favor of it. Doesn't mean I don't like Chris Cooley -- he is a world class tight end, no doubt. But if there isn't a quarterback who could be kept upright long enough to find him, what good is he?

I think we could all agree that O-line should be the priority. If this was the only way we could stockpile extra draft picks to rebuild the line, would you jump? What if this could be our 'Hershel Walker' trade?

I would drive him to the airport! I don't think the skins would get more then a #2 pick for Cooley.

Smart one, maybe you should be our GM, you have some real bright ideas.......get rid of our best player. This season is having some real down effects on you.
