Lucas might get traded

[stirs]

It would be worth freeing up the cap space to sign Marshall if we just traded him for a 7th.

If Hurney gets any more than a 5th, he is the king.

My guess - the Jets. Wouldn't suprise me, and they're looking for secondary help. Too bad they won't get it with Lucas, but hey, they're trying!

Yasinkas just mentioned in his chat that there is a chance that Lucas will get traded before Friday. He did not want to go into too much detail. Any guesses on where that might be?

Where would he be traded? No idea.

What would we get for him? Some tuna fish and cigarettes.

[Phil Dees]

so what are we going to be looking at in return for the trade? 1 first round pick? 2 first round picks??

lol

Champ would have sucked with the cushion and D our CB's were playing last year

THe only way we trade him is if someone really wants him. Otherwise they would just wait for him to be cut and then negotiate their own deal. Why lose a draft pick and be obligated to pick up his large salary for 2009 when you can get him for less once he is cut. Unless he is valuable to someone, it won't happen.

What are the salary impacts whether we trade or cut him. I know we will be on the hook for the rest of the guaranteed part of his salary in either case. But couldn't we use a June 1st cut for him and stretch his cap hit over 2 years? Or has that gone away, given that next year is an uncapped year, like everything else?

It's gone away, the hit takes place on the current year because of the uncapped year.

For what?

A bag of chips?

[carpanfan96]

probably either a 3rd or 4th. He was a top 5 - 10 corner, Some teams might think he still has it in him. He doesn't fit our soft coverage system. He's a bump and run corner.

He could be traded after agreeing to a restructured contract.

That said, I still see it more likely he's cut.

yep! If Godfrey was playing over the top of Gamble then offenses would have picked on him more. Gamble also wasn't as impressive as people want to believe. When Gamble drops back into coverage and isn't defending a quick throw he is pretty average also in our system.
