Running Back Rumors

[sheepshead]

DeAngelo Williams?

Rumors are the pack is in talks with "another team" and Williams name came up. Anyone want to do some digging?

I'll give Arrigo a call.

Edit: It was Arrigo!! http://bitterborderbattle.com/2010/0...gn=tjmarquardt

Not according to Arrigo.

I received an email from a source with knowledge of the trade talks, and he said that the Panthers would want a player and a pick (like the Bills want with Lynch). I asked what the Panthers "needs" were and he replied "offensive line, wide receiver, defensive line, linebacker and corner back" but added "if the Packers were to offer a 3rd in 2011 and a conditional pick (a 3 that could go to a 2) in 2012, that could be enough to make it happen."

I have been saying this would make sense for the last two weeks. He is 27 and on the final year of his contract and Stewart is a beast. They will probably not be able to pay top dollar for two running backs with one about to turn 28. He WILL NOT cost a first round pick and if thats what they want I would not do the trade. I bet he could be had for a second. If they get a second round pick for him I think they win at the end of the day. Running backs don't have long careers and they are a bad team that should gather picks and rebuild.

Imagine next year with Williams and Grant, that would be sweet.
I would trade a second, this team is really good. Grants injury really set back the offense, but I think this would solve it.

Maybe Hershel Walker is still available

I can't see TT giving up a high pick or two for a guy who will probably be on the down side of his career in 2-3 years. I think they like Starks and see him as an eventual replacement for Grant.

I don't see TT give up two picks either and wouldn't want him to do that. I think a fair trade would be Williams for a second. I think both side would win. I see him being a good back for another 3-4 years.

[swede]

Arrigo farts and all you goats faint.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

I know all his shit is fake. I just think the trade makes sense.

[3irty1]

He'd be a good fit. Williams is a one cut burner type back.

I wouldn't put a trade past TT. If he really thinks were superbowl bound, what GM wouldn't get the missing cog even at a premium?

Kuhn for the win!
