Rumor Wire for Draft Day

Toaster Oven · 04-21-2008, 10:23 PM

All right. First of all I'd like to point out that this all speculative material. It's what myself and some of my friends have heard rumblings about. If you don't believe it.. cool but I don't want this to turn into a "This is just BS Thread" Because most of it might be. But I always find it fun to speculate on what I hear. You can quote discuss or you can address them as a whole.

So here are some Hot Rumors for NFL Draft Day

Jared Allen to the Vikings for picks.

Rumor has it that the Vikings are the front-runners in the trade talks for Jared Allen. The Chiefs are looking to move the Defensive Lineman after he stated he did not wish to stay in Kansas City after his contract expired.

Roy Williams for Lito Sheppard

With both teams looking to move both players they could be perfect trade partners. Lions need CBs and the Eagles need WRs. However it's stated that the Lions aren't too keen on trading their biggest WR asset. Calvin Johnson is more unlikely than Roy but still possible.

Chad Johnson

Two rumors circulating about Chad. Seattle is looking to package picks for Chad Johnson. Some have stated that they aren't on the same level for terms. A highly unlikely and low probability rumor out there is also Chad to the Chargers. The Chargers not having very many holes to fill with a first round pick could unload that and possibly other picks for Chad. Chargers management seems to be fine with the team as is though.

Jets looking at Matt Ryan

Not keen on trading if not necessary but if Ryan falls to #6 look for the Jets to take him as they aren't happy with either Clemens or Pennington at QB. Speculation is that they may try to move into or ahead of Kansas City's #5 spot as Kansas City isn't keen on taking someone at #5. Carolina and Atlanta are also high on Ryan. The Falcons may end this rumor by taking Ryan at #3

Saints want to trade

New Orleans wants to move into either the Top 5 or Top 10 to take a premier DT. Other people are wary of this as other DT prospects taken early have not lived up to potential. Both Johnathan Sullivan and Dewayne Robertson are evidence of these.

Game Over?

Jerry Jones has quickly lost interest in acquiring CB Pacman Jones from the Titans. Trade Talks have gotten no where and it would appear as though either the troubled CB will have to fit in with his Titans teammates again or will not apply for reinstatement.

It'll be interesting. There's a lot of question marks out there. I've heard McFadden is slipping.. couple sites have reported that.

Can you imagine if the Chargers landed Chad Johnson? How could they not be the favorite for the Super Bowl?

Dallas needs to back off on the Pacman trade talks. The guy is completely unreliable off the field.. he can;t be worth more than a 5th rounder..

I don't know how Id feel about Chad Johnson being a Charger, But I DO know that Chad Johnson is a whiney Bitch and A.J Smith typicaly brings in TEAM players, not people who will punch Charlie Joiner at Half time.

So In that since, you can close the book on that trade, Seriously the Chargers aren't a passing team and he wouldn't even get 80 catches in the Chargers system considering the Number one options would be LT > Gates > Johnson = Chambers > Jackson

I'm not sure he's a complete bitch as you've painted him as.. He wore out his welcome in Cincy, but look at Owens and Moss. New teams, winning.. they've been model citizens.

Chad is still very talented.

Twist of lEMOn · 04-21-2008, 10:41 PM

Chads talented but hes not at all a team player. Owens and Moss were on teams that they didn't like but never punched out the receivers coach at half time of a playoff game that they were winning.

I still can't really see Johnson getting traded... but if he does, I imagine it'll be to the NFC. The Seahawks make some sense, as do the Cowboys.

Allen to the Vikings is looking likely at this point, whether it's a trade (I'm hearing KC wants a 1st and 3rd, plus a 2007 2nd-rounder) or if Minnesota signs him to an offer sheet after the draft (compensation would be a 1st in 2009 and another in 2010). I have also heard the Bucs might step in and try to outbid the Vikes.

I do think Lito will get moved on or before draft day, but I don't think it'll be for Roy Williams. I don't see the Lions moving either wideout.

Chad Johnson reminds me of Corey Dillon. They aren't as bad as people think. And when they're winning... they stop caring.

Brandon · 04-21-2008, 10:51 PM

Chad Johnson and Terrell Owens on the same team? That's either a recipe for a championship or a recipe for disaster.. Could there be an in-between?

Toaster Oven · 04-21-2008, 10:54 PM

I've heard nothing of the Cowboys even contacting the Bengals. But then again. I just report what I hear. And just because I don't hear it doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

Twist of lEMOn · 04-22-2008, 12:24 AM

Ive heard that to, seems much more likely that they'll pick up Chads because still got 3 or 4 years left in him. Glenns pretty much done and they need a second reciever with T.O.
