If he's what you say, then I'd start with Dujuan Harris and a 7th rounder for him. Then go up to possibly D. Harris and a 6th.

If there's not enough interest in a draft pick or Harris or a combo, then straight up Starks/Brown trade.

I think Starks or Harris could be worthy of a starting position.

I'd hate to lose starks, but we have the WORST starting ILB in football in Brad Jones. We can't go 15 more games with Brad Jones in there.

I also remember a couple of RB's in preseason looked good that didn't make it to the 53. We can bring one of those up to the #3 RB spot and let either Starks continue to be the #2 or Harris move up to the #2 spot. I'm comfortable with either one behind Lacy.

If we have an opportunity for a big improvement at the ILB, I say we GRAB IT and don't look back!

I know TT holds onto draft picks as tightly as Mr. Krabs from Spongebob holds onto his money, but if this guy is being dangled...and they have a need with their STAR RB being banned for life, WE HAVE 2 RBs that could be starters in this league! (Maybe not stars, but they would upgrade any teams running game!).

Alright guys, I changed my waiver pick up based on this news. I was gunning for Forsett, but adjusted my sights on Bradshaw. My spidey sense tells me we could be pulling the trigger here. Probably giving up a draft pick and banking on the Browns picking up LaMichael James. Best case scenario would be crazy, cutting B Jones and keeping our backfield intact. Yet the Packer brass has a woody for Jones and we probably let go one of the other LBs...

I'd do DuJuan and a 5th and not look back. Brown could be what we all wanted Desmond Bishop to be. Let's be serious though, Teddy is never gonna make a move like that during the season.

I agree both that the trade should be made AND that Ted will never actually complete a transaction during season. TT gets nauseous over trading picks so he execute his little plan to do nothing but appear to be trying. He finds the lowest deal that the team who has target player would accept - then he proceeds to insist they take even less - ie Moss, Lynch. Team wants 3rd - would do deal for 4th - TT insists on 5th - another team gets target for 4th.

I would be shocked if we made any trades.

Agreed Dujuan and a 5th no problem. But like you said, it's never gonna happen.

Arthur Brown isn't good enough for DaJuan and a feeef. I'd start with a 6th and move to a 5th. Isn't he playing around 235lbs? And he lost his job to a rookie? We'll see what Lattimore and Barrington have this weekend I suspect.
