Yeah, 'Nando claimed his sources told him Irish has been working the phone lines in both directions, trying to trade guys and trying to pick up a player(s).

To me, we could use a top notch kick returner, Roscoe Parrish, Logan etc.

 

Here is the original article, alot of speculation by Armando.
http://miamiherald.typepad.com/dolp...ls-to-cleveland-and-quarterback-josh-mcc.html

We could look to deal a player that we don't have a roster spot for, but I don't expect anything that would knock our socks off.

 

Problem is, 31 other teams are doing the same.

If he's dealing players for other players, he could have some success; if looking to trade players for picks...maybe not so much.

 

This is time of year when one man's trash is another man's treasure. I'm sure we're doing what we can to get something for guys that may not make the roster, and i wouldn't be shocked if we dealt a good player for the right deal. Our FO is savvy, and will make any deal that can benefit the team.

 

Imho we are not done trading with KC, they have needs, we have some decent players who we don't have spots for, we should make a deal along the lines of the Dallas Fasano/Ayodele trade last season.

Heck, they could wind up with 4 starters just from left overs on our roster.

 

I still wonder if Tampa calls for Rodrique Wright. If they struggle applying pressure tonight or in the next week, I could see them calling. Get a quick guy off the line who also has some strength.

 

That is an interesting point Alen, apparently the Bucs have been using Sammie Stroughter on both kick and punt returns when they have one of the better returners in the NFL in Clifton Smith.

 

I still say the big shocker is going to be trading away Ginn.

The FO drafted two guys more in the mold of what they want the WR position to look and play like, and there is a huge logjam at the position anyway.

If Ireland can get a 1st for Ginn, color him gone, I think.

 

Smith was middle of the pack, no? Stroughter is dangerous in the open field. They really like him in the slot from what I've read and there's probably zero chance of Stroughter going anywhere. Smith on the other hand could be a goner, as you may be suggesting - I'm not completely sure if you are implying that :). I think they've got there three tailbacks and with Stroughter being a possible threat, Smith is a goner.

 

I'd color that one white because you're never going to see a 1st.

 

You honestly believe some team out there would give a 1st rounder for Ginn ?
The value isn't there at the most they might get a 3rd rounder which means Ginn stays.

 

At this time, I don't know which would be better: getting picks or players from a trade. I just know that something may happen soon.

 

No one would offer a 1st for him at this point. The highest you would get for ginn would probably be a 3rd rounder because he is so young and is 'ready to breakout'. I agree it would be surprising if we traded ginn, especially since we would probably lose more than we would gain...and thats not saying a whole lot.

 

Bring him down to Miami, his 6 returns 20 yds and over plus no fumbles and a 14.1 per return avg on punts, and made the pro bowl as a returner.

That is the sort of returner we should be looking for Alen someone who can gain those extra few yds per attempt, his kick off return avg was an "okay" 27 yds per.

Smith was sort of the cat Ck mentioned (credit were credit is due)

The other cat we may be looking to pickup is Yamon Figurs, he is on the bubble up in Baltimore, is really fast, but had a down year last season.

He looks like a goner in BlT.

 

Bring back 54!!!!:up:

 

My thoughts as well. They're apparently in the process of changing over to a 3-4. We seem to be pretty deep at DL. And we have several serviceable OLBs.
Maybe even one of our TEs.
With that and the Parcells/Pioli connection I can see us doing something with them real soon.

 

I could see it but they finally have Tommie Harris healthy, they like Dusty Davoracek, they have Anthony Adams, Israel Idonije, and Jarron Gillbert. They also have Marcus Harrison, who played pretty well last year.

 

i think dusty is hurt brother

 

If that was the case why would he be the only person to not leave the starting line up at any point during the offseason?

 

I'm not a big fan of Ginn, but I can't see him being traded this year.

 

The one player I believe they have there eye on is David Tyree. he is a special teams demon and is on the bubble with the Giants.

If he can stay healthy he would be a big help special teams wise.

 

Well, anyway this falls out, whether we are selling or buying, nothing is likely to happen until Monday, or until our trading partner plays their #3 preseason game and evaluate what they have to work with.

KC plays the Seahawks on the 29th, if they want we are offering we will know soon enough.

Giants also play that Saturday in the annual v Jets preseason game

Ravens also play this Saturday and cut down day is Monday September 1st..

In some ways playing tonight is a huge advantage for us, we will have our player evaluations completed 4 days before the cut down day hits, meaning if we are working a deal, we have the initiative as we already know who we will keep, and who will be cut, we sort of caught a break by playing our #3 game tonight.

 

There are still five other ones. ;)

 

Depends on whose first round though...
