Euhus has played for some bad QB's but he too has some talent.

I'd rather keep a backup linebacker with talent than a 4th string TE with some talent.

And since when do you think our TE situation is a good one. Hilton is still learning, Campbell is a blocking guy (like Lamont Hall) and Conwell has a high cap number and cant stay healthy. So are you satisfied with Billy Miller and Nate Lawrie making the team? Me either. We were lucky to get anything for either one of them.

Hilton, Campbell, Conwell, and Miller are more than capable of handling the TE position on our team. I'm fine with trading away bad apples on our team... but I'd like to get something in equal value or pieces that we need to get better. I don't believe Euhus is one.

Now i do expect to do better in the event we trade Dwight Smith or Stallworth. But its not like we gave up alot and got nothing in return.

Well we traded away a second rounder who has starting experience for a 4th round TE who probably won't be any higher than 4th on our depth chart (if he even makes the team). Granted we didn't give up anything good, but the return didn't make any sense.
And TheDeuce... key word was maybe. I guess we'll never know what was on the table as far as draft picks were concerned. But, I'm pretty sure we could have netted a second day draft choice.
