OK, SO NOW THE DEBATE BEGINS

The Jets would be smart to trade up with the Saints. If they try to call our bluff and dont want to trade, i say pick Leinart anyway ala SD picking Manning even though they had no intention of keeping him. Then we could trade him to the highest bidder.

You won't be able to trade Brooks for a bag of chips. To think so is a pipe dream. Everyone in the league knows that Brooks will be cut June 1st. Loomis has stated that Brooks' tenure in New Orleans is over, and the signing of Brees confirms that.

Any team that actually wants Brooks has to do nothing other than wait until June 1st when he's available.

Trading Brooks means accepting his $6+ million salary figure for next year. Only a fool of a GM would do that when you can work out a new cap friendly contract with Brooks in June.

Dude, the guy is gone from New Orleans. There's no need to kick dirt on that situation or to expect any value in return. I mean isn't Brooks worthless? That's what I've been reading here for the last 3 years. So why would you expect to get something for him especially when it's a lose-lose situation for the trading team?
