Thoughts on trading rb M Bennett & obtaining lb D Edward
I'm not so sure we should trade Bennett considering Reggie Bush isn't signed yet & we haven't confirned Deuce is close to 100% - yet. Bennett struggled in Minnesota the past two years & I think a change of venue would suit him well, whether here or elsewhere.
As for Donnie Edwards, I feel he would be a good addition to the lb corps, even if it's only for a couple of years. Would definitely help with our younger guys like Fincher & Bockwoldt. I am glad the trade speculation surrounding Dwight Smith & Donte' Stallworth has quieted as I really feel both may be important to the success of the team this season. Yeah, Stallworth may leave as a FA after this season - it's a risk we may have to take. However, it's time for him to prove his lofty draft status now & not later. You can't teach flat-out speed but you CAN teach a wr to become a better receiver. I still feel we're a little shaky at CB & DT but, hopefully by improving our Lb situation the rest of the D might hold it's own. I still wouldn't be surprised to hear that the club traded a wr in the mix in order to acquire Donnie Edwards - just not sure which one they might consider trading ... Just a few thoughts ... |

sounds good in theory, but i think the odds of us getting donnie edwards AND keeping stallworth are slim. if we're lucky the'll take bethel off our hands

We stay the course until Deuce is healthy, if that ever happens. If not, he's our starter and I'm very happy with that.

Donnie wants a contract extension which will cause us problems when we need to re-sign our own. Grant, Stallworth, and Smith will soon need extensions. Though it would be nice to have Edwards, it's a luxury I don't think we desparately need. If we spend some money, we need to go after a corner or tackle... offensive or defensive.

I'm feed up hearing about D. Edwards. And noway do I trade Stallworth, he will have a bigger year then Joe Horn.

Seems Peyton and staff have addressed needs and I suspect they aren't in a big rush to trade either Donte or Bennett. Circumstances say they are both of value to our offense.
I think Donte stays. We're not shopping Bennett, but if someone (Texans or another) offers us something we can't refuse, he's gone. 8) |
