it is possible (though very, very unlikely) that the jets and chargers work out a trade for both of them; something like the Jets giving up a 1st & 3rd for both; or possibly a 1st & 2nd
Yes that is exactly the mission to bad most do not understand that post here sorry to say. No different then the JV agrument where they think a very average MLB will get us to the SB. Certainly shows there lack of FB knowledge if U ask me.
Thats nice, but there's this thing called a salary cap that needs to be managed. You can't be the Yankees and sign every guy you want.
This would be a good signing for sure. I agree w/ Champ. We need more guys that have a mean streak. Guys that can get to the ball and make plays. Phillips is a good example of the type of player we need, especially without a dominant pass rusher.
I would give up #36 for him without blinking. 25 and better than any other player we'd get at that spot. The only thing is that the Chargers would be downright stupid to let him go.
The attorney for Chargers linebacker Steve Foley has revealed that "it's unlikely (his client) will be able to play again." Foley is suing the police officer who shot him three times last year after an alleged car chase. His lawyer may be trying to get the jury to feel sympathetic for Foley, but if the claim is true, San Diego will likely be more inclined to sign Shaun Phillips to a long-term contract.
He's going to cost the Jets a valuable draft pick and a large slice of cap space and has proven nothing--it's not about simply managing the cap but making sure the gambles are worthwhile; losing a player and being handcuffed in future year's free agency is not something to be taken lightly. Heck, the NBA is a soft cap and look what it has done to the Knicks; the NFL's cap is much more strict and mistakes are very costly--look at Washington. The questions are whether a RB of similar potential can be had for a lesser price, and whether the RB's or OL were more to blame for the lack of a rushing attack last year. If Turner is a potential top five back in the league, and you're failrly certain of that, then there's no question he's worth it. But if he's on par with a Willis McGahee, is he really worth it?
1. Turner is way more valuable than any draft pick simply because he's young, has shown every physical tool you could want, still has fresh legs, and has recieved both NFL training and coaching. 2. The unproven argument is strong only to people who have either 1. not seen Turner or 2. doesn't realize this is true of any NFL player at one point in their career. 3. I seriously doubt Turner's contract would "handcuff" any team that gets him. 4. Everything I've seen from Turner screams NFL starter. People like bringing up that he's a backup, but that has its positives as well as its negatives. He's a 25 year old with fresh legs, 4.4 speed, size, and power. All there is to answer is 1. can he carry it 20-30 times a game and 2. can he catch out of the backfield? That can be asked of any of the backs in any draft, and about any RB at one point in their careers.
