THE ICEMAN Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I've heard a lot of scenarios for Roddy White and I don't think he should get traded for a bad year in which he had 100 catches went over 1200 yards and made the probowl again and not to mention he could come back with a monster year next year like he had in 2010. But I think it may really benfit the Franchise to free up that cap space and move him for a 1st and 2nd rounder get a guy like Michael floyd then sign another guy like Eddie Royal and then use the Cap space free up to fix the OL and DL but would have to get at least a 1st and future 2nd and anything else would be unacceptable (besides a franchise LT) I belive that Brandon Marshall got Denver two 2nds and everybody knew he was getting traded already plus Roddy's better than him and I don't think would ever demand a trade like Marshall did and thats why I think Roddy would bring back at least a 1st and 2nd. And does anybody know what the ravens gave up for Bodlin who Roddy is also much better than?Roddy Whitefor1st -WR Michael Floyd or DE/OLB Whitney MercilusFA-WR Eddie Royal FA-OG Ben Grubbs2nd - DT/DE Jared Crick or WR Mohamed SanuIf we could get something like that in return for Roddy White it would be really hard not to move him.Becuase he would likley bring back two high picks and free up the cap space to keep Lofton and Grimes and sign the guys above and more. Plus I think they will also cut Dunta Robinson as well.We have enough cap space right now (20mil-30mil) to resign our guys and maybe one big guy out of Mathis,Mario,Nicks,Grubbs,Rodgers.So then throw Roddy and Dunta's cap numbers out and we would have like 40 mil to spend and the two draft picks from a trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwifalcon Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Trading Roddy White is a very bad idea he still has plenty left in him he when playing well is in sync with Ryan where as a new WRer coming in could take awhile to acclimate to Ryan.I so no to all this tradin Roddy talk.

A-TowN.- Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Not really Floyd is a great talent and remeber Julio replaced Jenkins who was a soild player when healthyJenkins never had a 100 yard game. Enough said. You can't compare White and Jenkins. Jenkins was way easier to replace than a top WR like Roddy.

THE ICEMAN Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 were did you get that from Jenkins has had a 100 yard game before the guy had like 700 or 800 yards one year for the falcons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenkins was way easier to replace than a top WR like Roddy.We were comparing Michael floyd to Micheal Jenkins as Julio Jones replace Jenkins last year and Julio would replace Roddy and as far as what Julio did last year Michael may not be Julio Jones but he could still be a number 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel City Falcon Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 They're not getting a 1st and a 2nd if they traded White... Which they won't do anyway.Better of trading Turner for a 3rd or 4th rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE ICEMAN Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 I'll take depth over one player any day just look at the Packers or Saints or even the Giants they all don't have a WR like Roddy or even Julio but they have 3 or 4 good ones the "depth" 3 good WR will beat a team that has one great one. the point I was trying to make if they can't get Value for Roddy then don't trade him but if the value is there plus the cap space it makes sense.

The saints roddy is Colston and they are talking about resigning him before nicks. The giants roddy would have been plex but he was stupid like most of the people on this board and shot his self.

citsalp Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 White will not be traded...it's virtually impossible. Dan Snyder is still the owner of the Skins, but not the GM. Al Davis(bless his soul) is no longer with us, Jerry Jones has already been burnt by a bad trade regarding a WR, Martz is fired, and no longer a head coach, Dierdorf is calling football games. Who's left?To top it off why would we even entertain the thought to begin with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citsalp Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I agree to a point..My focus is not trying to change the major dynamics of our O, or D...but improve upon what we have in place.

falcontaylor Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Normally I wound be against trading such a good player, but with Julio in the wings and the benefit of obtaining a huge amount of cap space, I see a lot of pros here. What I don't like is the thought of replacing Roddy with another WR in the 1st. We could go LT in the first, use the cap savings on Nicks, then pick up a complimentary WR in FA or 2nd or later in the draft. It could potentially fix a lot of our offensive woes.

Normally when a guy is that great in college, he ends up playing pretty good in the pros with a decent QB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzummo Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Why does everyone want to trade Roddy? He's about to break every franchise record for a WR in franchise history. And the moment we get a guy to compliment him on the outside, you want to dump him and go back to the same situation we were in before where we only have 1 good WR?!?Leave Roddy alone. He had a bad year with the drops where he played through injury most of the season and was still very productive. We need to concentrate on fixing the OL and upgrading our DL and secondary. Why add another hole when we just have a few we need to fix? A serviceable LT, our 2nd round pick on an OG, and a few tweaks to our DL and secondary will have this team taking it to the next level.

Rai Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Is that the South Carolina kid? If so he's a beast!Yeah, probably the best deep ball threat in the draft. There's some Calvin Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald to his game. He's got that type of potential - Perfect 1-2 complement between him and Jones.
