    Don't know why you feel so offended by this.

    A rookie behind a Pro Bowler lineman, think about that.....

    Oh yea, did I mention he also subbed in admirably when said Pro Bowler took a breather or injury leave? I've seen him play at Tampa and I'm not the only one who believes he played well: http://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/index.ssf/2008/11/jeremy_zuttah_paying_immediate.html

    http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/bucs/2008-10-21-rookie-focus-zuttah_N.htm

    I'm not sugarcoating anything. Just bringing to attention for those who don't know jack about Tampa's OL (including you) the details.

    It works for both of us because I REALLY need to cut salary as well as get a real WR.

    Even in my opinion I'm overpaying but whatever.

    It is though one would have to keep up-to-date with Schobel's Lisfranc foot injury and it might be a bit pricey with all those big contracts. The 1st and 2nd are what sweeten the deal.

    Sorry, I couldn't log on last night, my mom got sick and my dad is out of town on bussiness so I had to help her out. Sorry we couldn't get a deal done, I was most likely going to accept yours.

    I don't think he was trying to be a jerk with that post, I think he just meant "Hey man thats a good offer jump on it"

    I'm sorry to hear about your mom though, and you're right family first.

    dont know why you feel so offended, nor do i care.

    now had you started with the links as a bargaining chip, then thatd make a whole lot more sense than what ireland said (who cares), dont you think? he also said, while in dallas, that he thought he got a real good player, a steal, in isaiah stanback. who? yeah exactly. so it doesnt matter what one says about 'missin out on a player' when using it in trade negotiations because it reeks of desperation.

    but thats just my opinion. good trade for the lions with the players/picks. im off to the bar then work. deuces.

    When I'm called out like that, yea, I gotta respond. On the other hand, you weren't asked to chime in and when you do say that, you know I'm now obliged to respond.

    And as for Ireland, well, this is a Dolphins forum. He's held in high regard.

    It's a good trade for the Bills. Weren't for the 2 draft picks given up, it may have been an outright steal.

    I was going to cut all those players except Reed for cap purposes anyway honestly.

    I hate giving up my two top picks, but could I have gotten the same impact with either of them? I doubt it.

    Well played too. As far as I was concerned, it was 2 first day picks and filler that probably should be cut, for CJ. Thought 2 starting WR's and 2 young OL with a good DE would've been more but I guess I'm happy it didn't go through.
