oakland ups ante for howard

I agree with JKool and everybody else who thinks that Howard needs to be shipped this year. He is very expendible considering he is now a backup. Sure we might be able to get more for Howard if we waited a year, but he needs to be shipped this offseason. He\'s a huge liability, and honestly I think we have much more pressing needs at positions like LB than to worry about an aging DE who is going to be playing behind the promising Will Smith. Besides, what\'s the big problem with getting a second-round pick? Depending on who we draft in the first round, a 2nd rounder could be used to draft an impact linebacker.
