Aaron Curry about to be traded

[Stroupe-a-loop]

Meh, we could use a linebacker, but he hasn't proven to be a good player and we aren't exactly in a playoff race right now.

ohh nooo i cant believe we didnt get a bust that got benched by the seahawks, ohhhh what will we do??

If you remove the #4 overall pick label from the equation, is better than anything we have at LB now except for Anderson. Our inability to get sideline to sideline b/c of lack of athleticism at the LB spot (again, except for Anderson) has been killing us.

That's why we should've made the move.

While Hurney has gotten some awesome late round gems - Hardy, for one... You probably aren't going to find a LB with Curry's athleticism in the corresponding round that we would give up in a trade. It was worth it IMO.

He got traded for a 7th in the 2012 draft, and a conditional pick (it will be a 4th or 5th) in the 2013 draft, per ESPN.

7th in 12 and a mid rounder in 13. I don't like it at all.

Who cares? Curry doesn't get us a playoff spot. Why bother wasting the picks?

Everette Brown. Armanti Edwards.

Wouldn't want to give up a 4th and 7th for a guy that just got benched in favor of a 4th round rookie.

Thats pretty much the exact deal i said the panthers should have offered, just a 6th this year, with a pick next year possibly based on production. Call me crazy, but if Aaron Curry went to the pro bowl, or ended up with 100 tackles next year, you wouldnt be willing to give up a 6th and 4th for him? I sure as hell would.

[Proudiddy]

Oh what idiots!!! Don't they know they can get franchise players like Robert McClain and CJ Wilson with those picks?!?!?

[maddog]

very interesting.

would be great to pick him up (restructured, of course) and stephen cooper. LBs need all the help they can get.

I thought I read the Chargers put Cooper on IR, then I read on here the Chargers were releasing him. Just curious what the situation is there?

He was IR'd.

Greg Hardy is better than Curry and we got him late. In fact, most players are better than Curry. Quit acting like we missed out on a pro-bowler.

[pantherfan49]

Maybe not. The contract had to be restructured and its Al Davis kid working this deal. LBs don't really have much trade value in modern day NFL.

Which is even more reason to think that teams saw a real player in AC that was just being utilized incorrectly in Seattle.

I'm not. I'm acting like we missed out on a player that could help us at a position that we're losing players by the day at.

And I already know Hardy is a beast, but we've blown much higher picks on much less. A 7th and a 5th wouldn't be a horrible deal for a guy that could end up being your starter for years to come.
