MERGED 2X:Dolphins have trade opportunity with EAGLES/Trade with Philly

[NYinBostonFin]

I don't understand why everyone is so quick to want to move Booker. He may be the best WR on our team, and he has a cheap contract. IMO We will not be getting rid of him.

Ill trade Booker or Boston with Thompson and Gordon for Lito Sheppard w/ a conditional 3 or 4th round pick [from the EAGLES] depending on production. That seems like a more realistical trade that the Eagles would take. Or maybe we add in a pick and get their Tackle Shaun Andrews who is a great pass blocker and a good run blocker. Lots of choices and strategies Saban could do but it would be great if we could get Lito.

That is not a very realistic trade at all.

If you want to get technical about it, it is because his value to other teams is higher right now than his value to us, since his value to us is represented by the difference between his value and the value of the "next best option" (which would be Boston, or Gilmore)...while his value to a team like the Eagle is the difference between Booker's value and the value of their "next best option" and since our "next best option" is plausibly better than theirs, the disparity creates the possibility for trade.

Very well put.

I wouldn't trade a case of athletes' foot for T.O. Why would you want that head case for anyway? what did he do for the eagles last year anyway? They were getting to the NFC game before without him and he wasn't playing when they won it. And he surely didn't help them win the SB !! I'm just wondering what is so special about him anyway? Other than his big mouth anyway! :D

what did TO do for the Eagles last year? OMG, you must be kidding right? If Mcnabb had just continued to throw to him, they could have won the game. Mcnabb is very overrated. Hail to Rush Limbagh!

 

[Dolphin North]

We could trade booker & gilmore & thompson

Now this is interesting. Get a lineman or something maybe, like the original post said.

I like Marty Booker and really do not want to see him go, especially after what he had to go through last year coming to Miami, but if the Eagles, somehow, some way wanted Booker and Thompson and a mid round draft pick for TO, i would not hesitate until I knew what TO actually wants to be paid. Which is probably a lot of $. Big $. that would be the sticking point IMO.

Lito Sheppard is not getting traded.

Boston, booker and Gordon together are worth a 2nd...maybe.

Nobody is trading for Sage.


You guys are used to Wany logic when it comes to trades, so i understand...

...

that is wrong

Don't mind that you went technical. I would rather keep him though.

What do you think would be offered for booker from Philly?

 

[PHINZONER]

Trad with Philly? No not for TO.

If Buckhalter is out for any length of time due to his lingering knee problem, we may have a suiter for Lamar or Sammy! Jax will not need a rb like originally thought. They are surprisingly deep as of tc workouts. It would be nice to get something for one of our rbs.

F&(*(&&$&(*)_+@(**&$*& YOU OWENS!! YOU make me sick and what is wrong with sports and atletes today! I think they should just ban you from Football!

 

[Fins05:NewHope]

SALARY CAP.....anybody remember that?? do you want to be in salary cap hell with owens??? my god we will be cutting taylor zack madison....just to stay below...barely.....cuz god knows TO wont restructure his contract to sign other players...or keep them on the team....Dolphins would end up the 49ers in a hurry...and it would take 3-5 years to recover...
