BENGALS666 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 They have the #30 pick. Wonder if the coveted C's will still be there??

Mu Shu Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Yeah but I wonder what the Bengals asking price is for Chad. Arizona's asking price for Boldin is a first and a 3rd. Which is a steal. So if I were a team like Tennessee, I'd trade for him before I would a guy like Chad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They declined a long labored trade with San Diego for Michael Turner 2 years ago when they wanted a first and fourth.. No doubt Boldin is the smarter move - but teams with better picks will get a better crack at him.. For what it's worth, I occasionally talk to the wife of a certain Titans franchised TE who says she knows Ocho Stinko and he supposedly has already denounce Tennessee as a team where "old WR's go to die".. Wouldn't that be justice served Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredtoast Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 The Titans have been looking for a WR for years, and the #30 spot would be sweet to get, but Jeff Fischer doesn't like players like Chad. It would be a terrible fit, and I think the Titans know it. Also we would have to throw in about a 4th round pick with Chad in order to get the #30.

BENGALS666 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Reinfeld calls most personnel shots in TN - aside from the obvious VY pick, which was all Bud Adams. Albert's face-stomping incident was before he (Rein) came to TN and face stomping aside, the guy was a tremendous part of their winning Dline which obviously trumps his anger issues...

Nothing out of the organization seems to point to a trade, and I just don't think we're better at plugging leaks than other teams looking to trade guys... However, I could also see that things are staying quiet because they are actively trying to trade him. but are trying to keep relationships possible on the outside chance Chad doesn't get traded. My gut tells me the team would probably trade him for the right price, but that no one is going to offer to pay what the Bengals consider the right price. I think the team, with the Marvin comments on Chad, is sending up the strong remarks about Chad staying because they can't get rid of him, but want to show a position of strength.

Getting good value for him is one thing, but his value to us is almost nothing, a mad attitude WR with 500 yards receiving isnt worth much to us. his numbers wont change much staying here.. but obviously improve elsewhere, given the opportunity anyway. I dont think there is ANY gain to keeping him here, we cant lock him out. he is required to be here and be a problem if he is kept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think the breaking of the silence to say he isn't getting traded means the team is not sure they'll be able to, and want to start building that "you're our guy" kind of thing... I think we're totally boned if he stays, because there really isn't anything left of a bridge to rebuild, but I think that's what the Marvin statement attempts to do.

If Marvin came out and said, "yes, we are trying to trade him" or even just "no comment," and nothing ended up happening, it would probably make Chad even more difficult to deal with. However that being said, if there was a way to place money on such a thing, I would put a good amount of money on Chad being on the roster for opening day 2009. I just don't think they want to move him. I think both Mike and Marvin value his on-field ability more than they care about team chemistry. I've never been in an NFL lockerroom, so it is hard for me to say how important talent is compared to chemistry, so I guess I have to defer to their opinion. The only thing that would piss me off is if it later comes out that Marvin, Carson and the majority of the locker room want Chad traded but that Mike Brown refused to sign off on it for his own reasons. That would suck but I wouldn't put it past him. In the early years, I thought Mike did whatever Marvin advised him, but now I am pretty sure that is not the case.
