Here how about I say something useful about another useless post. How about Manning with 3-4 years left? Yeah, ok. The fact that some actually think the Fins will get a first and even more for Ricky is a joke. Anyone who has been following the sport knows it is. Whatever the reason with his contract doesn't mean teams are giving up the farm for him. Basically "get real" is the theme here or did you not get that yet?

so you think that in 5 years Manning will still be in his prime?

This actually makes alot of sense and we might be able to get the most out of Indy. Ricky could be just as effective as James was and be payed nothing for it. The Colts really don't have alot of needs and won't be able to find that kind of back in the draft so I don't know that a 1st would be out of the question for him here.

The great thing about INDY is that they will be desperate then any other team.
Desperate for a SB
Desperate to replace James with a great RB.
Yes I do think that some people over value Ricky. But at the same time I thinka lot of you undervalue his value to a team such as INDY.
For me I would personally say nothing less then a 1st this year or a 1st and 4th next year.
If they don't like it fine they can go spend all their cap on Alexander or whoever.
Who knows what we will get but I believe both sides are truly naive to what Ricky could get us in a trade.
Detroit woul not be offering or willing to give up the same as say INDY or some other teams.
Here's another spin.
Let's say that they can get Ricky for his current salary. Then they lose Wayne
The money they would have to use on Alexander could be used on Terrell Owens.
In that situation what is a better investment talent wise.
Keeping your first and getting a rookie. Or trading your 1st for a guy like Ricky and by doing so have enough cap room to get a Owens as well.
Or signing Alexander.
What situation IYO is better for a team DESPERATE for a SB that is almost on the verge of dismantling?

Now why would we want to add more cap at a postion that we are not that bad off at? On top of that, thay are about to lose a great RB, their Offense is going to take a big hit when that happens, but by us giving them RW, we just gave them another version of an Offensive triangle that will be impossible to stop.... 1st round pick or go homeAlex22 said:

now indy is one team i can see overpaying for ricky with a 1st, being they dont have many needs and they are in win now mode...
but some of you people are crazy with this ricky talk... yes we know hes a great player and hes going to be great next year, but thats not what its about, its about his value to our team... he represents half of our running game, and thats a half that can be carried by ronnie brown with possibly a sprinkle of sammy morris or whoever else... yes it would be great to keep ricky, but the fact is whats more valuable... a backup running back or a starting corner back? a backup running back or a franchise QB?
regardless of who that backup is or how talented he is, hes still a backup, and if we can trade ANY backup to get a key starter, you have to do it... you people who wouldn't trade ricky even for a 2nd rounder are crazy... you have to do it and saban would definately do it...
