    Someone has out-offered me for Nnamdi. The Falcons have offered Chris Houston and a 1st round pick.

    Should I counter with the Jets first?

    If the Raiders actually offered this trade, the league would be forced to take control of the team and then fold it to ensure that such horrible decision-making doesn't infect the rest of the NFL. At which point I would definitely trade up to get him in the dispersement draft.

    In which case, he can't be traded, right?

    I don´t know if he can´t be traded, but why would you trade for someone, who´s will be a FA in 3 weeks? Maybe The GM can enligthen me.

    Well, the team wouldn't trade for him unless they had a contract worked out in advance.

    Yeah, but they would have to pay him as much, as they would have to pay him in FA, so he agrees to the Contract.

    I would be very surprised is Nnamdi is not franchised.

    Yeah, that seems like a Madden trade to me. Not realistic.

    I'd make this trade and never look back.

    Can you imagine if this was actually real? Given Jeaux's opinion of Lowery, what do you think he would do? Hahah.

    Jeaux would claim the Raiders Jersey that would garnish Lowery would make him an elite CB and his 40 time would go from a 4.55 to a 4.29.

    I actually expected you to understand what was happening since you were talking a big game before, but I guess I will have to explain it to you.

    Nnamdi is already a free agent because he is no longer under contract by the Raiders. Unrestricted Free Agency begins February 27th. You cannot trade a player that is scheduled to become a free agent because you no longer have the rights to them.

    However, the deadline for applying the Franchise Tag is February 19th. If a team slaps the Franchise Tag on one of its upcoming free agents, they then retain the rights to that player for the following season, albeit at a high price. Once you franchise a player you can then trade that player to another team who will give them the contract they want - which is the only reason why you would trade FOR a franchised player.

    Obviously, since I am talking about trading FOR Nnamdi, it means that in the Interactive Mock Draft he was franchised by the Raiders. If I do end up getting him I will either have him for one year at the franchise tag CB price (which wouldn't make sense) or I will give him a long-term contract to keep him here for a while and to lessen the cap hit.

    You can't trade a player that is going to become a free agent unless you use the Franchise Tag on that player. It's as simple as that.

    Take that in a second! Highway robbery and for once it favors the Jets.

    Agree completely, while we're at it we may as well swipe Davis' Depends and find a way to ransom them back for cap space. The senile bastard probably wouldn't realize that he can go out and buy more.

    This senctence would have been enough.

    In Maddenworld, do that trade, throw all draftpicks you got at aso, he?s the best CB in the League, chances are slim to none, that you won?t find anyone close to his talent in the draft.

    I would

    But wait Jeaux would then have to root for Lowery.

    hahahahaha i'd pay for that. Like announce a fake trade like this one for like a half-hour just to see Jeaux's reaction.

    Dude See robert Edwards(Patriot rookie RB who shredded his knee playing in a rookie touch football game at probowl - who was never the same)
    N Asomugha is UFA (not under contract) and defintely going to be franchised.(so before he signs that tender he gets hurt than he out alot of money)

    N Asomugha one of the smartest players there are in the NFl who already proved he was the best at his position.(In the real season) Your crazy if you going to see him risk anything in a meaniless exhibition game.(probowl) He went to probowl more for a vacation.
