[QUOTE="sschind, post: 763322, member: 10247"] Speaking towards a big trade in general its obviously difficult to say how BG will act but I could totally see him wanting to put his mark on the team from the start and he has a lot of draft picks to work with. I would not be at all surprised to see a big trade, either for a player like Peters or to move in the draft or to sign a flashy free agent. I honestly don't see that the Packers chose to move on from TT just to get more of the same? If they were not looking for a bit of a shakeup in style they would have stuck with him for his last year (assuming it wasn't all his idea) As for any player in particular I really don't like the idea of giving up draft picks, especially 1st or 2nd day ones, for anyone who is looked at as a 1 year rental. Obviously if you get the guy in for a year you can try to work out a long term deal but if he plays well enough he may just price himself out of your range. Either a sign and trade or trade with the stipulation that a long term deal can be worked out by draft day if not it is void. For Peters specifically, as Poker said, you have to be leery of a young guy who is near the top at his position that any team wants to trade. Quick says he has value and they don't want to try to manage him. What does that mean exactly. I get the value part as he obviously has that but the rest? Is he a huge head case? Is he already making outrageous demands for his next contract. Is he just a major PITA? I don't know the answer to that but as others have said, its something any team trading for him had better find out. Assuming the Packers and Dorsey still have a good relationship and from the rumors this past season it would appear that they do, maybe they have an inside track on some of the details and could get the questions answered that way. Although with the way players and staff move around these days I'm guessing just about every team has some sort of "inside information" available to them (Nagy and the Bears for example) Lastly, good players without baggage rarely come cheap so if you are looking to snag a guy like Peters for a 3rd round pick I doubt it will happen unless he has some serious problems that come with him. Same with free agents. There are 30 other teams (31 if the current team is interested in retaining him) and many have the same needs and a lot more money to throw around.

Bottom line if you want a difference maker you are going to have to pay for him and if you think he is worth it you might as well get him for more than a year.
