Question for ALL about Howard trade-new style

Not really asking how you feel about it or if you do or don't want it to happen, I am gonna question how you feel the front office has handled it. Not asking if this compensation is fair or anything, just if you think they have been going in the right direction for it. Questions based ont he rumors and reports we have had:

1. Do you think Dallas' initial offer of a second was okay for us to turn down when our FO initially said all they wanted was a second, and then turn around and up the ante to Dat and a second?

2. If Oakland did offer Buchanon, do you think they did the right thing by turning that down if the report was accurate?

3. If Oakland offered number pick # 38 as reported, do you think it is right for us to have turned that down?

4. Andy Reid has said the Eagles interest in Howard was falsely reported, do you think that the Saints putting out smokescreens like this, if it is them, is the right way to drive up the price for Howard?

5. Lastly, a recent report is Dallas wanting to swap number ones for Howard. Do you think the front office is doing the right thing by waiting on that, or should we go ahead and do it?
