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 ...
