    They may offer us a conditional 10th rounder and or a practice squad player of our choosing.We should seriously consider trading Todd Bowles though,we should offer him to the Many Face God or the Lord of Light....

    Don't forget the Browns.
    Remember they were going to give us all of their picks this year and next year's 1s,2s and 3s to move up from 12th to our 6.......
    I think people get caught up in that draft game where you go into the draft with 6 picks, come away with 20 of the top 25 picks and a dozen picks in next year's first 3 rounds and expect the draft to play out the same way.......
    Then complain when it doesn't. o_O

    nice idea, and forte is from texas.
    the cowboys tried to low ball you for richardson.
    don't think you would get anything for forte.
    they want to keep picks, and not payout those salaries for those two players.

    I blame Macc for not making this trade. Now we have another D that will be out off the league in a year instead of all of those picks.
    Macc really should be gone. No HOFers during his tenure, nothing to show for all the drafts he "managed". Most importantly, didn't draft Prescott.

    Between all that and missing on those brown picks, he needs to go.

    Well, it's Macc's job to make it happen, no?
    And if he can't, Woody needs to get someone who can :mad:

    Chemistry- and attitude-wise, I think he does (make the team worse). I think he's a negative factor and maybe even a cancer in the locker room.

    Cowboys aren't buying a lemon, no matter how desperate they are.

    coaches changing his position on and off is the only thing that could potentially effect chemistry.. lets not let the dislike some of you have for him take away from his game.

    "maybe even a cancer" isn't saying much... I need evidence. Seems like he was one of the only guys willing to stand up to Marshall when he played the blame game after our losses. He bullies the bully. If he was as bad as you guys make him seem, I doubt he'd be here. Nobody forced us to pick up his option.

    Negative factor?... looks like the only one that gives a damn half the time. (as shown below)

    On what proof or hearsay do you get the notion he is a cancer in the dressing room ?

    I thought he has always been renowned for being a solid pro.

    However I do agree he is a negative factor on the field but that was more to do with the run down the middle tactic employed last season, I very much doubt he wa happy about it himself tbh

    I would not trade Sheldon until I see Wilkerson play half a season. If he's not back to his old self and Sheldon is then we resign Sheldon and say. BY by to Wilkerson because his contract is structured to do so.

    For some I guess. I can't stand it. Froggin jets show more fantasy stats then game scores on tbe scoreboard. Rooting for a player on a team U hate which people do is just wrong. But u r right it brings in more people

    Used to be big in it,now I am in 1 league and wonder why I join it every year. Even when I win. but the truth is this league wouldn't be where it is without it and gambling overall. It's the perfect sport for it. The hardcore purists would still be here, but the off field stuff would have driven the fringe fans away a few years ago if the league hadn't embraced the fantasy aspect. IMO

    I said "maybe a cancer." I didn't say that he definitely was. We know he's stupid and doesn't let things go. We know he's blathered on and on about getting big money on his next contract. We know that he and Marshall went at it last season and may have been at least partially responsible for causing some of the disharmony, and maybe divisions in the locker room with some players siding with Marshall others with Richardson. IMO he's a negative influence on and probably a distraction to the other young players. That's enough, he doesn't have to be a cancer.

    Good point. And I gamble with a bookie on point spreads which gives me interest in games other then the jets
