[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 517890"] Doing a rent-a-player for a young accomplished player is bad practice, it never happens, and TT won't go there. This isn't baseball. Nicks was likely already unhappy at not being deemed a core player (no contract extension), and he'll be less happy going to a new team with not intention of offering one. If this trade takes place, it will be to a team who will extend him. We'll find out soon enough, but the good news will be something like Jones with a bad bone bruise and Cobb with a sprained knee, both out 2 - 4 weeks. Even if Finley plays split, there is nobody behind the 3 WR...what if somebody else gets hurt. I don't think you can go into a game with zero backups. They'll find room for a guy. The fact it isn't White already would indicate they're looking hard outside. We could dispense with Nixon...he's only filling out the roster because Heyward is down. Back to PS for Nixon when Heyward comes back anyway. If and when Worthy and Sherrod come back we'll lose guys at their respective positions. Wilson would be the lead candidate on the D-Line as he increasingly becomes redundant and will be a FA after the season anyway. We're already carrying 8 OL, we won't carry 9, and Bulaga and Tretter next season would make 11 if we don't cut somebody now, so the developmental interior guys (Van Roten, Taylor) are likely on short time for next season as it is. So who goes? Newhouse would be one option (tackle in, tackle out). Taylor another. I suspect Van Roten sticks since he's the backup center. [/QUOTE]
