If Ted backs off this, it shows...truly...where he is coming from.If he does this he would be:1)Bringing an NFL experienced back with a 6+ yard per carry average to the team.2)The back has been running a very similar offense in San Diego.3)He can catch and block, a younger version of Ahman Green. He's only 25 I think.4)He's not injury prone or had personal negatives.5)His contract would be steep, but equal to other starting backs.6)The only reason he isn't playing in San Diego is he's being the league MVP. Think Matt Hasselbeck in Green Bay.To do this, Ted would have to give up:1)The 16th pick in exchange for the 30th. Still in the first round.2)Perhaps another pick...like a 4th...consider what has come on board recently from the 4th round.So your Hall of Fame QB would return with a solid veteran behind him, capable of matching or exceeding any running back in the NFC North.And what do they give up? Marshawn Lynch? Ted Ginn, Jr.? and some unknown in the 4th round?While there's many good reasons to not do the Randy Moss trade, this one for Turner would be plainly stupid not to do.This is a barometer trade for Ted Thompson. We'll see if he has the cajones to do it, or he thinks he can find a Pro Bowler under a cabbage leaf.</blockquote>
