T.O for second is too much...for one year...I wouldnt give more than a 4th or 5th really
Do Bengals have enough depth at T?
Why would anybody want VY?
Texans already have a useless secondary and they wanna make it work?
Probably the Johnson v Sweed is the only one that makes any sense

Oy. Each one of those trades is worse than the next.

1. Cincinnati has very mediocre depth at T. It would look a lot better if Andre Smith was healthy, but he's not and there's no sense in wishing him back on the field sooner. Kampman would be a huge asset for the Bengals but right now Cincinnati isn't hurting for defensive end help as they have in the past.

2. The Owens-to-the-Bears trade is not awful, and the price may be right in spite of all that TO brings to a team. I don't believe there's any way, however, the Bills can make that trade even as a face-saving gesture, which makes it hard to consider seriously.

3. BQ for VY does nothing for either team, as a change of scenery will not necessarily help them develop into NFL-caliber passers.

4. The Texans would be trading their best defensive back by miles off one of the worst secondaries in football for a DT and a late-round pick? Yikes.

5. Again, this is not really a case where change of scenery would help, especially regarding Johnson. Pittsburgh's outside linebackers have played well; they just hurt for Troy Polamalu to return, and he will. Limas Sweed looks like he won't make it to a second contract at this rate.

The Bengals don't need Kampman. If anything they need another tackle behind Collins. I have heard Kampman to St. Louis for a pick is being discussed, and that makes much more sense.

Vince Young playing under Eric Mangini? That's not a change of scenery, that's a funeral for his career. The Browns are not shopping Brady. I've heard that from inside their locker room and from a couple of beat writers. They have gotten some calls--again St. Louis is involved--but he's not going anywhere. For now.

I like the Derrick Johnson for Limas Sweed idea, even though Pittsburgh's D needs a safety and a DE a lot more than another LB. I do expect Johnson to be moved, more likely than any other player mentioned here. Robinson could be moved too but I haven't heard anything at all on that front. I know the HOU mgt. was very upset with him for his offseason crap and he's not a great fit in their locker room anymore.

T.O to the Bears is intriguing for obvious reasons but its very risky...A 2nd is way to much though, maybe a 3rd/4th. But even then its risky (for the Bears)

Brady Quinn>>>>>>Vince Young...even though Quinn has sucked mightily Young is just a diasaster right now and Cleveland is just about the worst possible fit for him I can think of.

That guy gets paid to think of this stuff???

Pretty funny...that's the latest Houston sports radio clown.

Why would Chicago ever want to give up a 2nd rounder for TO who only will be there for a little over half the year. If the Bears did that they would be stupid
