Dont get me wrong, I see the value of Ricky, on your team. HOWEVER, his value to a different team is waay down. In other words, his value isnt as high as some people think.
If the trade was simply as Ricky for David Carr. IMHO, I would pull that trigger IN A HEARTBEAT! Thats if the Texans will actually entertain that thought. Also, take into consideration the PR nightmare that a team would get from its media by bringing in Ricky, on top of that, trading a #1 pick QB who's been somewhat ok when protected OVER someone who was busted last year and left the game. But obviously there are other stipulations...
Ricky staying with the fins = HIGH VALUE
Ricky as trade bait to another NFL team = Not as high as you wuold think.
I understand there are still the Ricky fans, but you have a workhorse behind him, take the reigns off and let Ronnie run FULL TIME. Get a decent back up in free agency and or the draft and your're set. There are no teams in the NFL thats going to be willing to give more than a 3rd rd. for Ricky (IMHO), and a 3rd is a stretch. Dont get me wrong, I know his talents and his capabilities, but he is one "bad move" away from suspension. Thats no excuse by any means, peple do change, but ITS A GAMBLE THAT A LOT OF TEAMS IN THE NFL WONT MAKE.
