Funny thing for my fantasy team. When the trade came up I cut Greg Jones and got Suggs. Now I may do the opposite!
Thats because the "Vision" of this team, once led by Fagway and Duh Herm insisted that we needed to sign our oft injured Pro Bowl DE, who by the way is also no longer here, rather than sign our Future starting RB, who at that time WANTED to be here but wanted to be paid. Instead we franchised our Vagina... I mean DE. It would be one less hole to fill had we had people running the show that had a clue... Ellis
Last one and then I have to give it a rest. If we had Suggs and Bush in our backfield we would have to call them the X-men.
Now that other teams know we are desperate enough for a RB to trade for an often-injured backup from a bad team and most likely make him a week-1 starter...expect the asking price for a RB to go up considerably. Nothing like the scent of desparation to make other GMs try to force a team to overpay.
I think they knew we were desperate before, not sure it hurts us that much, if anything it means that what they have/had to offer wasnt as attractive to us.
I don't think it is the end of the world if we go this route. The hard thing here is realizing that our chances of post-season play are not very good, and we knew that, but saying it before the season starts is tough.
If it weren't for tgg and it's damn recording of posts, we could all swear we never wanted Suggs and we always loved Strait. Or at least I could.
Although the Jets are still uncertain at RB due to Martin's situation, you're not losing anything by Suggs failing this physical in my opinion. He's been the walking wounded his entire career.....
