Williams to be Traded

[Patler]

Some Browns fans are convinced that Favre IS retiring based on the website snafu today, and the deal is Williams and the Packers 1st for Anderson. No kidding! Some seem convinced of it!

It is very cold in Cleveland...and it smells bad.

They are looking for any ray of hope.

i saw that too, its amazing what other teams fans can come up with.

we aren't that dumb are we?

one guy said the packers don't want rodgers anymore because he's one of those guys that has all the tools, but he never works out or puts in the extra time

Went to the link Basket de Skin posted.

Interested. Mixed views, but no one really knocking Williams. This post was funny.

we need a starter at DE, and we won't find a day one starter in the third round. especially with the free agent pool drying up so fast, we need to make a big move. this could be it.

haha, GB loves mediocre running backs..maybe we trade them harrison or wright, and a 7th for williams.

But they also seem pretty convinced someone will grab Derrick Anderson from them, and give up a 1st and 3rd.

This signing could actually give us more flexibility in the draft, assuming we get the 1st and 3rd for DA.

And

I think its 2nd round pick to Green Bay, because Savage will get picks back for Anderson.

Although this one gave me pause

Here's my guess. Earlier today, the Packers website announced that Favre is retiring and they pulled it down. I bet, and don't hold me to this, I bet we trade DA to the Packers for Corey Williams and their 1st rounder.

Give this guy credit for putting some pieces together!

Wasn't it the Washington post that reported the Moss to GB thing was a done deal the night before the draft?

I'm sure there is some talk going on, but I wouldn't be convinced that it's final just becuase the W post says it is.

Well guys, talk to ya'll tomorrow. This is pretty exciting. I hope Jolly and Harrell come back ripped and ready and then Muir takes a nice step forward.

Now we might end up keeping Cole too He's OK I guess, I just liked having Williams better

Williams done. 6 yrs $38 million pending physical

I predicted 40 with the tag and 50 without it. I was pretty damn close.

I'm happy to have 3 first day picks. CW for a 2nd was a good deal, and he was definitely worth franchising, in retrospect.

Does he have a source??

[RashanGary]

I'll bet most news comes out of Cleveland now. Williams and his agent will want to cozy up to the CLE media. GB means nothing to them now and we all know we mean nothing to TT so he's not going ot break anything for our sake.

[RashanGary]

Up to the second FA updates on sports center next.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

We will know more tomarrow, good night.

[Lurker64]

For those keeping score at home, assuming CW was traded for the Browns 2nd, our first three picks are now worth 620 (#30), 340 (#56), and 300 (#60). If Thompson were to trade all of them in a bold gambit to move up in the draft, that's 1260 points which is approximately the value of the 11th pick overall.

If he were to simply trade our #1 and one of our #2s, that would put us at around 16 or 17 overall.

All of this is assuming that there's a willing dance partner, of course.

I'm find just staying put

Think if a RB like Stewart feel to round one
pick up a TE in round two
and a CB in round two

And sign a veteran starting OG


Ah, one can dream
