Fresh Edwards Trade Talk

LKelley67 · 08-25-2006, 11:23 PM

Mike Detellier on WWL commented that he believes Edwards will be a Saint within a week. The Chargers have apparently backed off on the 2nd and will take less. He speculates a pick with a lesser player such as one of the young wideouts. Similar to the 7th + JT OSullivan for McKenzie.

I trust Mike D...he knows his stuff. But at the same time, i just heard that the talks between the Saints and Chargers for Edwards have broken off. I do have a feeling that since the Chargers just locked up another one of their young LB's they are more willing, and if the Saints have another poor showing tomorrow, a deal will get done one way or another.

I also believe that the Chargers would have traded Edwards months ago when all of this started but they are holding on to him to spite him. When its all said and done, Edwards will play for the Saints this year.

One more thing, adding Edwards would give us Fujita, Edwards, Shanle, Polley, Foreman, and Fincher...veterans mixed with youth...could be a good thing.

I hope we can work something out, but I don't want to give up a first-day pick for him. The Chargers apparently denied our trade requests when we were offering a 4th rounder. If they do take the 4th for him, I'll be happy. However, a pick with a 7th and a crappy player would be nice too.

remember JT had some good hype around him at the time. Maybe they are show casing Closton?

Don't even go there!

Colston is one of the best young talents we have at WR. Devery Henderson, Jamal Jones, Chris Horn......I could live with trading, but a 6'5"-230 lbs. receiver with exceptional hands, a 40 inch vertical, & a 4.43 forty time....you just don't trade away as a rookie. Especially when the kid has done nothing but impress since coming to camp. If we trade him or Hass before their rookie seasons, I'm boycotting the season.

They could just trade a safety....

No way, we are keeping this guy
Go to SaintsReport, NOProFootball, wwl, and whatever you find Saints they'll show our keepers

In order
Horn
Stall
DH
Colston
Hass
Jones

One more thing, adding Edwards would give us Fujita, Edwards, Shanle, Polley, Foreman, and Fincher...veterans mixed with youth...could be a good thing.

And we have our leading LB from last yr in Colby

And I did hear that the trade was off for now, and Carolina was after him

LKelley67 · 08-27-2006, 11:40 PM

the Carolina buzz generated from this ESPN chat:

Ric ( Charlotte ): Jake Delhomme just restructred his contract today, freeing up $2.5mm in cap space for this year. Why would he do that at this point, are the Cats looking to make a move?

Jeremy Green: (4:22 PM ET ) Well, they need to find a LB (Diggs has another knee injury and he was replacing "spoon". I did hear this today from a pretty good source of mine. They have contacted the Chargers about Donnie Edwards' availability.

if we got to get a bidding war with Caroline i hope we get some one with a better poker face. I would love to see us run the pick up and bail. cost carolina a day1 pick and a good player.
