PatsFanTX Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Not sure of the validity of this poster on another board, but he sounds legit. JUST ANNOUNCED: Traded Jon McGraw to Detroit for a conditional draft choice. Released Pete Hunter Yes, not joking. I'm in the press room at Weeb Ewbank Hall and it was just announced by a member of the PR staff. Appears that Oliver Celestin will be the starter at strong safety with rookie Andre Maddox backing him up. Justin Miller will back-up Ty Law at left cornerback.

Wouldn't look good if the insider pay Board is fibbing..I believe it..Herm wants all the white guys off the Team!! (JOKE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 With Pagel cut and MCgraw traded, wer're done with these slow white guys. YEAH! And Mcgraw was ALWAYS hurt.

Barton Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Does this mean we get back a 2nd rd pick from the Lions because McGraw was a 2nd rd pick???? Gotta say, Pete Hunter sucks anyways but McGraw has actual talent. I guess the coaching staff really loves the combo of Celestin, Rhodes, Washington and Maddox, and why not? They should all be more durable players than McGlass was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gg Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 i am not a fan of this move. when Jon was healthy ... he really made an impact.. He also has heart and seems to be a good guy. Hate to see those people go If this is truth.. i actually wish him well.. but i hope it is just another one of Tx's falsehoods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faba Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 The question is when was McGraw able to stay on the field and actually play for an extended period- no one knows how good or bad he is because he was not involved in enough action to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dierking Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 It is hard to believe that Ray Mickens was not worth a 5th rounder to someone in the league. I realize they had to make the move to get Law in under the cap. but couldn't they have waited a day or 2. Maybe they were doing Ray a favor for playing good soldier, and allowing him to have some control of his future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Jets swap McGraw to Lions for pick, release Hunter Aug. 10, 2005 CBS SportsLine.com wire reports HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. -- The New York Jets traded safety Jon McGraw to the Detroit Lions for a conditional draft pick Wednesday. Advertisement The team also released cornerback Pete Hunter, acquired in a trade with Dallas last month. McGraw, 26, was in his fourth season with the Jets after being drafted in the second round in 2002 out of Kansas State. He had 102 tackles and three interceptions in 33 games, including seven starts, and was a regular member on special teams. But McGraw was plagued by various injuries during his tenure with the Jets, including missing three games last season with a groin injury and one because of an abdominal injury. He started six games in 2003 before a shoulder injury ended his season. McGraw had 43 tackles and an interception in 15 games during his rookie season. Hunter, 25, was a fifth-round draft pick out of Virginia Union in 2002 by Dallas and had 43 tackles, three interceptions and one sack in 30 games. He played in only three games last season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, and missed some time early in training camp with swelling in the knee. The Jets acquired Hunter on July 14 for a conditional draft pick. AP NEWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta have six corners. This is an interesting move, and one that I don't like all that much. We just traded the one guy on our team that had the ability to stay with Tony Gonzalez in the opener. Say what you will about the injuries, but McGraw absolutely locked up Antonio Gates last season. Twice. Silly trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Troll Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Seems like a pointless move to me. Like Bradway realized he was wasting a draft pick by cutting Hunter, so he decides to trade McGraw to make up for it. Don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Bradway realized he was wasting a draft pick by cutting Hunter, so he decides to trade McGraw to make up for it. Don't like it. Really, what's for the fans to like? It is not like we have been at practices and evaluated film of Celestin, Maddox, etc. How COULD a fan like this move, based on what we have seen of them? We have seen NOTHING. Bradway, Herm, etc will get judged on the players that they keep and the games they win (or lose) with them. I would hope that they would make moves based on what is good for the team, and what does not seem to be "safe". Please, dont tell me now that we are all going to be enamopred with what McGraw or Pete Hunter brought to this team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
