ESPN.com is reporting that they think the Lynch trade has a good shot of happening

I hate to disagree. It is an insider article in the "rumors" section which basically goes over what we've already discussed. In particular it points to Schefter saying the Bills are holding on to Lynch past the trade deadline.

You have to have and insider's subscription so I'll only post a snippet;

"However, the asking price appears to be the divisive issue, and the Eagles aren't that desperate, in spite of the injury to LeSean McCoy.

ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter had a take on the Lynch rumors on Sunday:

- Tim Kavanagh


Adam Schefter
Bills can wait to make a deal
"Teams with a need at running back continue to monitor the Buffalo Bills, and with good reason. At one point last week, league sources said Buffalo seriously contemplated dealing running back Marshawn Lynch, but ultimately decided not to do it. For now, the Bills are planning on keeping Lynch past the NFL's Oct. 19 trade deadline, but it won't stop teams from calling."

Lynch is a SeaHawk

Jay Glazer is reporting that Marshawn Lynch is now a Seahawk. Traded for a 4th in 2011 and conditional in 2012.

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle. Profootballtalk.com repeated the report about Glazer. They had to give up a 4th round pick, a conditional pick, and Lynch had to void the final year of his contract.

PFT goes on to take this swipe at us; "Meanwhile, the Packers continue to have no one to run the ball. As we pointed out in this week's power rankings, the pass-heavy attack should be working really well when the weather turns at Lambeau Field."

I was wrong about the Bills end of things, but on our end it is as I expected. It's just not Ted Thompson's MO to go out and get big name free agents during the season. I hope I'm wrong about that too, but I doubt I am.

Lynch traded to Seahawks

Lynch was just traded to the Seahawks for a 4th rounder in 2011 and a conditional in 2012. Please tell me TT didn't find this too steep an asking price

 

[dogpackerz]

Marshawn lynch traded to seattle.!!!!!! Please ted make a move.....

i'm a little down in the dumps over this. its not that i just wanted Lynch.. but its seeing other teams like the seahawks making moves trying too win there division and do much more for there team. I'm hoping the packers have a real good game plan. cause sitting on out *** is not the solution...

 

[BigDaddyKaine]

I hope this is a joke

 

[ryanbodman]

Just reported on Siruis NFL Radio. They even said that if that is all the asking price was, where were the Green Bay Packers.

 

[BMatt]

Screw you TT

 

[Mack_20]

If thats all it was for, **** YOU TED THOMPSON.... That is the most ridiculous ****ing thing if we could have got him for that.. Please tell me that isnt true....

And in the same vein, the Seahawks release Julius Jones. He'd be a veteran pickup I wouldn't mind too much.

 

[AmishMafia]

Upset posters, do you know what the conditional pick is?

Or doesn't it matter and you are gonna hate on TT regardless?

 

[PackersRS]

A 4th and a conditional seemed very reasonable, for a talent like Lynch. I know we have Grant, and we're not a RB by committee, but IMHO, unless something surfaces (like ATL lowballing us in the Gonzo deal), we missed on that one.

 

[Emperor_Xyn]

Jeezes Christ... McCarthy must be really set on who we have.

 

[PackersRS]

BTW, merged the threads

[98Redbird]

I'm going to wait and see what the conditional pick for 2012 is but if it's not an unrealistically high pick then god dammit TT, WTF are you doing?

 

[turbo69]

If thats all it was for, **** YOU TED THOMPSON.... That is the most ridiculous ****ing thing if we could have got him for that.. Please tell me that isnt true....

Lighten up Francis. lol Maybe their is a good reason why it didn't happen. Maybe.......just maybe....we already have a deal going with the Panthers for DeAngelo Williams. That is what most people seem to want on this forum..........right? But if we don't get Williams after all this BS........I'll be going off worse than you just did.:happy0005:

 

[armand34]

the deal is done guys, according to my Madden 11 Franchise Mode, the Packers have acquired Marshawn Lynch & a nickel corner for Brendan Jackson & a 1st & 2nd round pick

 

[PackerManLV]

Lynch to the bills.

Wow they got him for a fourth round pick and a possible another pick. WTF happened to us making this happen??

 

[FiercePierce6]

Way too much to give up for Lynch in madden my friend. A 1st and 2nd rounder in madden is worth a lot. :viksux::chisux::detsux:

 

[PackerManLV]

Lynch to seahawks

Wow, they got lynch for a 4th round and possible another pick. How the heck did tt not make this happen?? Source NFL.com

 

[FiercePierce6]

To the seahawks you mean?
