GREENSMACKS Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 great so get a qb and have no offensive weapons to put around him... The Oakland Raiders are preparing to make a run at Falcons QB Michael Vick, according to NFL sources. The Raiders package would include receivers Randy Moss and Jerry Porter plus the No.1 overall pick in the 2007 draft for Vick and the Falcons first round pick (10th overall). then again falcons look like geniuses with moss and calvin johnson (if they pick him number 1) schuab would be a probowler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShow Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 holy cow, that would be a block buster trade. if I were the falcons I'd jump all over that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serphnx Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Well, it's not like he can throw to them anyway. I guess the Falcons want to go with Schaub, I'd do that if I were the Falcons, but didn't they get burned on their last two trade attempts?

The Troll Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Where does the "smart" come in? Trading for Vick is retarded and the package of players they'd give up for him is even more retarded. That would make the Eli Manning trade look fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 That just constitutes retarded. OTOH, if I were going to run a team with no OL, that's the one time I'd want Vick as my qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4HCrew Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 would be a ton of cap hits in that trade and cannot see it happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 all I know is I don't wanna see any of the players named in the trade wearing green with the words jets on the helmut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 all I know is I don't wanna see any of the players named in the trade wearing green with the words jets on the helmut I'll take the 1st and 10th pick in the draft though.

PeterNorth09 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Moss, Porter and the #1 overall pick for Michael Vick and the #10 pick? The Falcons would be robbing the Raiders in that deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boozer76 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Moss, Porter and the #1 overall pick for Michael Vick and the #10 pick? The Falcons would be robbing the Raiders in that deal. Not really. Porter has been downright useless. I'm tired of people referring to him as some great receiver, he hasn't done a thing in his entire career. I've never seen a player get more unwarranted hype than Porter. This trade is really Moss and the #1 for Vick and their #10. Porter is a non factor. An elite WR is nevber equal in value to an elite QB, so the #1 pick for the #10 pick compensates for that. Personally I think this trade is better for ATL because they'd finally be playing the best QB on their roster, but that's a different story. Vick, while vastly overrated IMO, is still elite by NFL standards. he's also alot better than anyone on OAK's current roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they just used their #1 on a QB this year they'd probably have someone better than they already have too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uart Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 that would be a good trade. Moss and Porter don't want to play in Oakland anymore, they are disgruntled (a disgruntled Raider... THAT never happens). The only problem is that Vick REALLY doesn't fit in with the Al Davis style of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drago Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 holy cow, that would be a block buster trade. if I were the falcons I'd jump all over that! if i were a falcons fan, and they did not pull the trigger on this. i would cry. i would cry till september. say it did happen, porter gets cut, they still have jenkins and moss, with a number 1 pick...are you kidding??? what a ridiculous trade, VICK BLOWS!!!!

James Hasty Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Moss and Porter together is enough for Vick. The # 1 pick is too much to give up even if the Falcons throw in pick #10. Bad deal for Oakland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except just trading Vick kills 16 mil in cap space for them this season and then they have to take on Porter and Moss' massive contracts. This deal would cost way too much money for the Falcon to pull off. Theres no way Vick gets traded this year unless he renegotiates his contract.

Theres no way Vick gets traded this year unless he renegotiates his contract. good call, although i bet the falcons are begging for an excuse to unload that bum. (if they can drop his contract) here's a thought, I know vick got them to the NFC champisonship, sold jersey's and all that, but i would rather have drafted Akili Smith. At least with Smith they knew he sucked relativly quickly. Vick has left them high and dry for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREENSMACKS Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 well you can restructure contracts to make it work under the cap and alos factor in al davis is 2 years away from being bed ridden and eating jello, he cant wait to see if russell or quinn will even be a good qb let alone lead them far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
