NFL Trade Deadline: Schefter's deal that won't happen

in 2010 NFL trade deadline

PrintSomehow it turned into SEO day at Turf Show Times. Frankly, it has more to do with some quick hitters before knocking your socks off with the good shit rather than a lame attempt to flood Google with crap, like that outfit whose initials are B R. In reality, I'm passing this along because it's interesting, and let's face it, part of our purvey is to feed the armchair GM within us all.
Don't expect the St. Louis Rams to pull off a shocker prior to Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. Nevertheless, ESPN's Adam Schefter, he who preordained the Sam Bradford draft pick, rolls out five trades that should but won't happen. One of those proposed deals features the Rams. Here's Schefter:
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith to the St. Louis Rams for a second-round pick: The Rams already have lost their top two wide receivers, Mark Clayton and Donnie Avery, to season-ending injuries. Smith would be more than a replacement -- if Carolina were willing to trade him.
Though it's not going to happen, Smith's the classic example of a trade the Rams shouldn't make. That's a second round pick for a 31-year old receiver. Say what you will about the price tag for Vincent Jackson, he's only 27. The Smith scenario might be a whole lot different if the Rams were closer to competing for the whole enchilada, not just a weak division (which I still say they should be competing for and looking for moves that could help with that goal without sacrificing the future).

Making deals without sacrificing the future
As much as I want this team to win, I would rather we play our hand to the best of our ability. Belecheat seems to do this better than anyone. My God, have you seen his draft picks for next year? And he will probably look to trade a few for max FUTURE value. He does all of this while maintain a solid, strong team. Ok, enough props to a guy I don’t like BUT “what one man can do another can do”. I hope BD is listening.
The only thing comparable to a Rams win is a 49er loss!

I'd love to see Smith in a Rams jersey, but a second round pick is waay too much.
And considering the price for Randy Moss, I don’t see anyway that the Panthers come close to getting any 2nd round pick offers for Smith.

agree
no way.
Are there any FA #1 WR after this season is over? If there are, I’d like to see the rams go after one

i believe vincent jackson will be an unrestricted free agent after this season

he will
but he is looking to get PAID. and I doubt he’s gonna want to come play for a team that is not going to make a deep playoff run. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him end up in Chicago (if they have the cap space…i have no idea what their cap situation is)
yeah i too doubt he will come here
we should be able to get a nice receiver in the draft…hopefully aj green or baldwin

yea a 2nd round pick for smith is a rip off
besides hes 5 9!! we need to add some damn height to this squad of midgets
by Buck Nasty87 on Oct 15, 2010 12:52 PM CDT up reply actions
he does win an awful lot of jump balls
for 5 9
when you consider all the verts in the NFL, its really more about timing than height. (Fitz)
man if Arizona got their hands on Bulger
they’re gonna run away with the division. Not cuz Bulger is an absolute stud or anything, but just because that is literally the one position that they are lacking. Some undrafted rookie just beat the damn Saints.
Bulger’s problem was that he locked in on receivers, and when the Rams receivers started sucking, there was nothing Bulger could do. He definitely won’t have that problem in Arizona….he can stare down Larry all he wants.
Max Hall is mormon
I see a trend of religious QBs in AZ. Maybe they’re trying to get Jesus on their side.

To be fair
AZ won in spite of Maw Hall being under center. That game was driven by their D all the way.
I miss the good old days of Warner to Holt
which is my point
Max Hall tried as hard as he could to make sure Arizona lost the game, and Arizona still won. We can all agree that while Marc has taken some shots and regressed over the years, I think we can all agree Marc is still better than the bottom 3rd starting QB’s in the league (e.g. Matt Moore, Clausen, Delhomme/Seneca, Fitzpatrick/Edwards, so on)
Wisenhunt wants a manager at QB, not a gunslinger. Bulger is more than qualified
Would you guys feel differently if the pick was a third rounder?
Personally, I agree with the general consensus; build through the draft and do not mortgage the future for this year.
Do you mean Corey Williams?
Geez, just answer the question man. No, forget it. I don’t think I would value your opinion.
well heres my opinion
for a 3rd….provided that his contract doesn’t end for another 2 years at the least (i have no idea what his contract situation is), I would do it.

Steve Smith wouldn't be good for Bradford's development.
He throws QB’s under the bus and has a notoriously lousy attitude.
Value-wise, I wouldn’t give anything higher than a 4th round pick for him, anyway.
The emotions of the game do not change.

i havent really heard about him throwing anyone under the bus
and i havent heard a peep from him in a while. thing is we wouldnt need to give him an extension, just use him for a year or two, then let him walk. 2nd round is way too high, if your not gonna see that for vincent jackson your not gonna see it for him. but he is very talented and he would help alot. that said, i give a 4th rounder for him. not much more though.

Steve Smith
is the Steven Jackson of the Panthers. This guy is the ultimate competitor, and even with Delhomme throwing a pick every 5 minutes the past few years, he never once demanded a trade or anything.
I think he’d be good for this offense, actually. Our D has swagger. Our offense doesnt.
4th round is likely the highest
I would go…There’s just not much upside longterm for steve smith
According to a report the rams were the only team to agree on a long term deal with jackson. But its to late for a deal now. Especially when were about to face the chargers. Smith is something i wouldn’t shake a stick at. But it wont happen. Get gota figure something out.
