Packers exploring trade for DT

[Brohm]

Even if there was a steal of a DT available TT would not do it. It is not the TT way to do thins that make sense and promote winning.

Turn back the clock to this time last year and change it to RB and your point is refuted. Or is that just the "dumb luck" arguement

This guy sounds more and more like Tank.

Dang, how about some props for Sparky for pulling out that sweet list of jumbo DTs sitting around in Bal'more.

Looks like some opportunity for dealing (unlikely) or waiting until the end of TC to see who gets cut.

Yep. And that Ngata was touted by some, if I recall, Bob McGinn thought he was a prospect. I can't quite recall the circumstances, but I remember him being escorted off the field this preseason - have to look it up to see if it was serious.

[Noodle]

Ngata is a stud. He was a first rounder in 2006 and has been pretty steady. He got his leg hurt at the end of July, but he'll likely be back by week 1 or 2, if the latest reports are accurate.

I'm thinking no way the Ravens part with him, but I'd love to have the guy; he's stout as hell and a certifiable run stopper.

I have to believe TT will swing a deal for a tackle..

He almost has to with the lack of performance so far... No Harrel (again) Jolly's status (legal and health)..

Wonder if he regrets trading Williams now?

[The Shadow]

Maybe the Grant trade wasn't a miracle - Thomson obviously doesn't like to part with picks, so perhaps he just saw something others missed in Grant, and simply made a shrewd move.

I don't think there was anything shrewd. The Giants had too many good RBs. Thompson knew it...and asked them which one they would part with for a late round pick because we needed one. That choice was made by the Giants...not Thompson.

Sigh.
Thirty other teams DIDN'T obtain him.
Why is it always so difficult to extend Thompson any credit?

The only thing is a lot of those guys listed at DT for Baltimore actually play DE in their scheme, so they aren't as short on DEs and as deep at DT as you'd think.

Gilbert Brown has said over and over he still has some in the tank.. time for a tryout...

Right. And the league has apparently missed on his talent.

Gilbert gets his AARP card this year - doesn't he?

He already ate it. Good source of fiber.

Campbell... I was kidding

Ty- I was kidding and the Vikings missed out on his talent once before didn't they?...

I don't know. If those guys are all actually DTs (instead of DT/DE as HW pointed out) this is a similar situation to what the Giants had last year, an overabundance of players at one position, and they might well be willing to take a 6th or 7th rounder to get some value instead of releasing the player.
