http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000054037/article/reggie-bush-for-mike-wallace-potential-trades-entering-season?module=HP11_content_stream According to NFL.com, it is a rumor that could happen. So what do you think about this? Do you think this would happen?
FWIW, it's not a bad trick. Not sure I understand the desire to move Reggie tho. Guys done nothing but good for us
I would have the paperwork submitted, signed, sealed, and approved by the league before the roofie wore off.
Reggie Bush is my current favorite Miami Dolphin and I would be devastated to see him go. That said: RB is a plug and play position. Mike Wallace is a #1 WR we desperately need. I'd be torn, but objectively speaking, I think the trade would favor us and I doubt Pittsburgh would do it straight up. Edited: Read the article. 100% speculation and will never happen.
It makes sense if you consider that Ireland doesn't want to give Reggie Bush the big contract he's going to demand.
We've never had a situation like that before. I guess he would have to win by default if it happened. Which it won't!
Actually wouldn't be a bad trade. The sad part would be letting Bush go. His leadership and work ethic has been really good this season.
It's Pure speculation. I love Reggie but DT seems like a new back that fits the Packers mold of a big guy who can catch. Lamar is a Reggie type back. If this was for real I'd be OK with it.
What's sad is watching all these dropped balls and the lack of chunck yardage. Gotta help the rookie out.
I like this too; Charley Casserly NFL.com Dolphins, Tannehill could also greatly benefit from acquiring Packers WR Jones Miami needs a wide receiver. Green Bay has depth at receiver. How about the Dolphins make a deal with the Packers for James Jones? He is better than any wideout on Miami's current roster and will know at least some of the system (seeing as new Miami head coach Joe Philbin spent the past five seasons as Green Bay's offensive coordinator). Jones has good size and strength, as well as above-average speed. He would be a valuable weapon for rookie QB Ryan Tannehill. Miami could send a mid-round pick to Green Bay. Ted Thompson loves draft picks. Both teams help themselves.
Pat Kirwan was commenting today that the packers have good WR and will be forced to cut one them Like Jones, but a team ahead of them, like Indy should scoop him up first. Rather than trade our only good weapon on offense, I would much rather trade less for Jones
Or you put Wallace in there against him. Give Wake a huge lead, like 445 votes and Wallace has 5. See what happens.
Horrible trade. Bush is your team leader, hardest worker on the team, best player at the skilled positions. Dolphins lose too much in the locker room. Like what some of the others have said, rather have James Jones for a 4th maybe 3rd. Trade Moore for Jones.
I like Reggie, supported the deal when we got him but he would already be shipped out if I was the GM. Hes coming up for a new contract at age 27, 28 at the end of the year and RB's only last til 30-31. Wallace has 3-4 extra years over Reggie based on that and receivers are probably harder to find than backs. That said, cap-wise we are up against it I believe. We would probably have to shed someone else..maybe a Tony McDaniel or a Matt Moore somewhere along the way for a pick.
Actually he was correct....Those YPC averages say he is a 1 trick pony..and the trick he pulls is a higher YPC average over the last 3 years combined then anyone else over 100 catches in that time. Guy is a freaking beast.
Absolutely. Guy was a glorified punt returner until last season. I'm glad he's found success with us but a career year at the most fungible position in the NFL would have equaled trade for me. When you account for our relative depth at both RB and WR, it's a no brainer. Zero chance it happens, though.
I think the swap of Bush for Wallace is a better idea than giving a #1. If they want more than Bush, no way. This team can't afford it, imo. I would also be a lot more comfortable if I thought Thomas could stay healthy for a season. As stated, Jones for a lower pick is more amenable to me. Many may not share this view, but as good as Wallace is, I just can't assume he will be the same player here.
lol The weed is definitely not THAT good in PIT. Most of you must be smoking something though if you think this is a possibility outside of Madden.
2011 Bush 7 tds / 1382 receiving and rushing yards. Wallace 8 tds / 1250 receiving and rushing yards. No find a #&%$ing receiver and keep what little the offense has worth ADDING to to help make it better overall. And this is behind Miami's/32 OL vs Pitts/24. Plus Wallace thinks he needs Fitzgerald or Megatron Money to play? Come on man.
This is a no brainer really. Our WR's are pathetic in a passing league. Worst in the league by far actually. Reggie Bush is replaceable. Highly doubt it happens. The Steelers are a top notch organization that wouldn't make such a dumb move.
Or... Find a ****ing RB, which is much easier to find after trading for a top notch WR. Much better idea.
