would you make this trade?

Denmark for chad owens (straight up or with something give or take to make it fair trade)

Wild for Chick? (Same as above)

My thinking is owens isnt having his best year, nor is denmark, but both can be explosive as well as owens improving our return game imo.

Love wild as I do denmark but we are pretty deep at lb and need a rush end opposite to westerman.

  • NOOOOO!!! Chick & Owens are expensive, old & on the downslide. Wild is only 25 & will get better & better. Denmark is a solid receiver. Wouldn't touch those 2 with a 10 foot pole.

  • If this was a playoff bound team trying to make the final push to get that extra edge .....maybe....but otherwise signing expensive and old players at this stage does nothing to improve the on field p

    No to both.   Wild is young and I'd rather have him then Chick. Ditto on Denmark over Owens (too injury prone).   How about our scouts find a DE or receiver? Apparently its hard to do this though

Those are the kinds of trades that appealed to Brendan Taman, which eventually cost him his job.

No way this trade ever happens.  It would very dumb on our part.

That's a Taman trade idea that would not work out for us.

Interesting thought but no. I see Denmark and Wild as long-term Bombers. If anything I want to lock them up.

If you were going to throw in a draft pick or two to get Chick and Owens you would have gotten full marks from the Tamen School of Roster Management.  As it is, trading younger guys for older ones only gets you part marks.  Make sure that when you sign Owens and Chick you really front load their contracts too because... "F" the future.

Excellent. I knew Denmark was but was unsure about Wild.

Wild is here for 2 years after this season.

We're 4 - 10, I'd do both those trades and a few more:

Demond Washington for footballs

Greg Peach for water bottles

Chevy Walker for tape

you get the idea.

I like Washington so I wouldn't trade him... but that's petty good value for the other two...

no need to bring in the over 30 yr olds, not good way to get better

Apparently our asking price for Walker was too steep.

I'd try to get draft picks for all of them. You can always bundle draft picks when making deals for players. Sometimes it makes the difference.

No to both.

Legitimately would not trade Brohm for Owens.

Yes you would.  That's just silly talk. 

I wouldn't take on his salary, so no. 

 

Also, he's an ass.

Owens an ass? What did he do to make you feel that way?

My guess would be that he was being an ass.

Maybe Owens slept with his wife.

Owens is definitely washed up, nice call.

haha.... that was a beauty catch last night.  But I did notice on a couple of his returns, that he doesn't appear to have that breakaway speed he has had in the past.  Might have lost a step, but still a very good player!

He's a good player but... he's not the same as he used to be, GREAT CATCH last night, unreal really but... I don't think i'd want him here.

his best days are definitely behind him and I question his durability now, but he's still got some magic in there. Probably should be a lifer in T.O. and retire respectfully...

I've been hard on Owen most of his career. I honestly think he's been overrated for most of it. Last nights catch though...WOW. What a beauty. Saying that, I still wouldn't want him. Even just to sign him as a free agent. The guy has been making far too many mistakes this year. K well maybe as a free agent signing...but it'd have to be for cheap.

In general signing a great player near the end of his playing career is a very bad idea, be it Ray, Owens or Dressler.  Better to invest the money saved on salary to find great players at the beginning of their playing careers.

Sort of like trading Poblah for Banks? Both are out of the league even though Poblah was 10 years younger.

You make moves to make your team better right now. You can't pin your hopes on a future you can't control. If the Bombers had Owens & Chick playing for them right now, they'd be a better team, no doubt about it.
