Shanahan: "Not interested in giving up Bly" - The Orange Mane

bpc · 03-28-2007, 01:33 AM

As reported by AS on the NFL Network. Says New Orleans keeps trying to initiate trade talks with Denver for Bly.

Wonder if they would be interested in Al?

MLB 53 Simoneau, Mark 0 Simmons, Brian
WLB 58 Shanle, Scott 0 Wortham, Cornelius

The CB position isn't much better. Wonder if they are trying to position themselves to make a package deal.

I would take Charles Grant and a 3rd round pick.

Stay tuned...

Bly and Wilson for Bush.

Keep Bly unless it's for an offer we can't refuse. There are only good things that can come from hanging onto him.

For sure.

SoCalBronco · 03-28-2007, 01:45 AM

i.e. We have no problem dealing Bly, New Orleans, but your offer sucks. Raise it.

Jammal Brown would do it.

I think with the Saints interest in Bly and their lack of talent at MLB and WLB, the only way we will ever get fair compensation for Al right now IF we are dead set on moving him is in a package deal.

I just don't know what we would ask for in return.

Charles Grant is a guy that is sort of maligned in NO. We have a hole at our DE spot which could be a natural fit for us. The copentsation after that would have to be draft wise... tough to say what we SHOULD get. I agree, the longer we wait, the more we will receive. I think Al healthy though should be at least a 2nd. NYG was going to give us a 3rd and we seemed fine with that.

Grant and 3rd for Bly and Wilson? Maybe we package Bly/Wilson, and our second round pick for Grant and the Saints 1st round selection.

Crushaholic · 03-28-2007, 02:13 AM

Like Shanahan, I'm also "not interested in giving up Bly".

That One Guy · 03-28-2007, 08:33 AM

I stick to my previous thoughts, if we can get Bly longer than just this year, keep him. If he's a one year rental, ship him out now. We need players, not stop gaps.

drail 24 48 · 03-28-2007, 08:49 AM

I'd like to see what Bly can do in the Orange and Blue

Definitely. Bailey and Bly will keep Shanny from going for a Middlebust for starters.

Bly is going to get a lot of action this year, a lot of opportunities to step up and make big plays. He performs like he should and he'll be spending a lot of time on Sports Center highlight reels.

theAPAOps5 · 03-28-2007, 09:29 AM

I'd like to see what Bly can do in a contract year.

That's where the downfall comes in... if he performs well, we only get him for this year for sure. We can't afford another star CB. I think the increased opportunities he'll have could and probably will give him a statistical year for the ages if he only performs halfway decent.

We can always tag him, he's making $4.2M in '07, a CB tag is only a couple million more.

bronco militia · 03-28-2007, 09:43 AM

the saints are desperate for DB's......especially with P-Dog & Co. slated for opening weekend

footstepsfrom#27 · 03-28-2007, 09:48 AM

I'm interested in moving Bly, but only if we can use him to move up to to a top 6 pick in the draft. Frankly I think Foxworth is a good CB who would do just fine for us.

Oooohhh... the Broncos having someone worthy of the franchise tag, I like it! I'd be afraid of his disgruntledness but I hadn't even thought of that option.

That's not the way Shanahan works just ask Big Money.

bpc · 03-28-2007, 10:12 AM

I have to admit I really like the thought of Bly and Champ at CB if we stand pat and draft where we are located now. I don't think we will see any of the big defensive linemen fall to us, but we could take a ballhawk like Reggie Nelson or Michael Griffin.

Thinking of the turnovers that would bring is definitely enticing.

It's a pipe dream that we'll land any decent pass-rushers or linemen in this draft who'll be ready to start this year. As for moving up hell no. It's not as if we're one player away, keep the picks and take the best players available.

A really good free safety would make that an awesome secondary. I think we'd get used to hearing "and the **** choose to run it on 3rd and 8" constantly. I could deal with that.

Gcver2ver3 · 03-28-2007, 10:37 AM

I just don't understand the logic of people that keep talking of us picking a safety with our lone 1st round pick....

We need a pass rush....nothing is a more glaring need for us right now and our top pick should be used to address it......

safety & o-line are areas that could stand to improve but not near to the degree of d-line help.....

we didn't miss the playoffs because of our safety play...we need a pass rush....
