Lelie Traded For....

[MindField]

Another speculation post...


Here are some of the names being thrown around here in the Mile High...

Vote, or name your player...

Personally, I would like tyo see Lelie traded to New England for TE Daniel Graham.
The Pats seemed resolved to losing him in the offseason anyway, and suddenly, with the loss of David Givens, Bethel Johnson, Andre Davis and the holdout of Deion Branch, the Pats need another WR...

Baaa dont even bother trading him, I heard John Clayton say the teams have been offering 4th or 5th rounders, not worth it.
Jones would be a nice trade though, but the bears have no intention of letting him go.

No, this is going to happen, and the reason it will be for a player is because the Draft pick value is not there. Lelie has burned his bridges here, and I heard two separate interviews on local radio today, one with Bowlen, the other with Shanahan, and they are ready to move on without him. The Titans seem to be the front-runners right now, along with the 49ers, so if I were layin' odds, I would have to say he will go for a player that is expendable from one of those teams, so
players like Eric Johnson, Chris Brown and Travis Henry would seem to be the favorites at this point.

I still think Darwin Walker would be best.

I could live with that.

If you could get Chris Brown for him that would be a great trade

i think a trade for thomas jones would make are offence unstopable.

[nickmeyer]

I say we try to take one of the Titans backs either Henery or Brown even if we have to throw in a 3rd or 4th round pick.

On or just before the trading deadline for a ham sandwich OBO!

[Lorcust]

Why do people keep asking to trade Lelie for sandwiches and other food products, when we got David Kircus? :confused: :heh:

i voted for other because he would be my first choice also. . . . his play seems to have slipped a little the past year or so, but he's a better pass rusher than any DT on our roster, and it's a spot where we're not very deep. . . . .

If the Broncos would toss in a draft pick, I'm sure they could make a deal happen.

I agree, next year he will be a restricted free agent. If some team signs him we will more than likly get a third round compensation pick out of that transaction. A third round pick is better than any backup player we will get in return from a trade.

Actually, Lelie will be an unrestricted free agent next year, assuming he shows up by week 10 this year and qualifies for an accrued season.

And then it will be adios muchacho. Might as well get something for him now if we can.

I was under the impression that any player after his fourth year was a restricted free agent if the contract went further than four years, am I wrong?

This will be Ashley's 5th accrued season, if he reports by game 10 or earlier. So, he'll be an UFA. That's why I'd probably settle for a 4th rounder if I were Shanny. It's better than nothing.

Think of it this way Javalon. Lelie comes in and plays to be eligible this year, helps us get to the Bowl. . . and win it of course. ;) Plus, he doesn't sign here, goes somewhere else and puts up a monster season. We get help from him now, and in the long run with compensation.
