A friend just texted me. Told me that on WFNZ they are talking about how Smitty had a closed door meeting with Richardson today asking for a trade.

This severely depresses me as I would love to see him retire here

but....

I guess we should have seen this coming.:cryin:

[The Saltman]

it doesnt surprise me.

Trade deadline passed long ago. So why have this talk now? Why not March?

I think Smitty has had lots of closed door meetings over the years. Some his choice, some not.

[mmmbeans]

would probably be better for everyone.

[Jbro]

Thomas Davis pretty much confirmed this.

[The Saltman]

Hurney should have traded him when nobody thought he would be traded. Now that the whole league knows that he wants out a lower draft pick is more probable.

[Third Degree]

Why not wait to see who the new coach is?

[Neylus]

I could understand completely.

Exactly, it's Peppers all over again. Wait until the guy is screaming to get out until you do anything and screw over any chance you have at getting decent value for him.

[The Saltman]

we could have def gotten a 3rd or maybe a second before the trade deadline. Now a 4th or 5th is more probable.

[Cracka McNasty]

well poo, if he does leave and luck doesn't declare then we actually HAVE to draft AJ green then...

damn.

[mmmbeans]

wait a sec, since when is smitty "screaming for a trade?"

[Third Degree]

Or, we draft Newton and make AE a WR who actually plays!

New HC, new OC, new offensive system, new QB... Smitty only has so many years left in the league, don't blame him for not wanting to wait for all these new pieces to work themselves out, especially when there's no guarantee they even will at all.
