Common theme with all trade rumors?
I was just thinking about this. In the last few weeks I have heard trade rumors about Donte Stallworth, Dwight Smith, and Courtney Watson. I was wondering why we would consider trading these guys, especially considering that Donte and Dwight play key roles. Then I realized a common trend among all three of these guys: they have all had run-ins with the law in the past year. Dwight pulled a gun on somebody, Donte resisted arrest, and Watson got a DUI. Seems like Payton is trying to address character issues on this team?

Smoke screens in trade down options
Donte Stallworth - 15 - Broncos (from Falcons) - Chad Jackson WR and/or a 2/3 rounder replacement. Dwight Smith - 7 - Raiders - Michael Huff DB Courtney Watson - (2 - 5)- Mario Williams DE No one wants Sully at the contract price. Unless it is one of those my garbage for yours type of trades. |

RE: Common theme with all trade rumors?
I think it would be foolish to get rid of any of them. Watson I could see letting go maybe. But a starting reciever and safty? I just can't see it. Is payton just not expecting to do anything this year? Is he trying to get as many picks as possible to build for the next three years?

I think it's a good theory that Payton just doesn't want someone foolish and careless enough to get into trouble with the law. It shows a lack of discipline and from what I've heard, Payton has a little bit of a thing for discipline.
I think it's more along the lines of they are Haz guys. Folks that, for one reason or another, Payton saw as reaches at the time of selection/signing. Watson was a 2nd rounder and is getting lapped by 3rd and 4th rounders....Hell, Colby is about to take his spot. Stallworth is a 1st rounder who MAY just be touching the top of his potential, but could also be onthe slippery slope to good 3rd reciever. Smith may just have the type of contract that makes him tradeable, unlike Sully's, who's contract is as bloated and cumbersome as he is. |
