My Guess...Lions pick up Peterson for us...

[AznBroncoFan]

He did play under Nolan for 1 season and is a 250 pound olb/very fast and sure tackling guy...

I think and it has been said he has at least 3 years left...

All I'm saying is To everyone...Avril is 255 pound (almost like a Maybin) and Dizon played SLB for the Lions when Lennon got hurt...And The other posters remark that he's (DIZON) a Tampa 2 LB...What does that mean...Derrick Brooks wasn't 225, none of Tampa lb where that small...

Noone has yet to answer my question...Why...Would Schwartz who everyone says likes the big DT and DE trade a Cory Redding for another mid-200 pound olb? It doesn't make sense...

They coulda went Curry if they needed one...And How are they gonna CUT DIZON A #36 PICK AFTER ONE YEAR... THEY CALLED HIMTO DAY IN FACT A JAMES LARUNITIES(SP) BUT FASTER.... I'm just trying to put this together.

duh...Redding is OVERPAID and sucks. I don't know what you've been seeing out of him. Schwartz did the right thing to get rid of him. I'd take Peterson over him anyday. Let's see....Peterson, Simms, and drafting Curry would make a pretty good starting LB trio.

not bad speculation there, but does peterson even have 3/4 experience?


also didn't peterson opt out of sf after nolan's 1st season as his HC?

also does jp even have anything left in the tank?

it's more likely that Detroit is going to try some 3-4 Defense and are going to get Brace with the 1st pick of the 2nd. Because they now have no DT.

this is good news though for the Broncos, bc now Seattle is out of the Raji race, only GB left for the most part.

Except they signed Grady Jackson

A Nolan guy I would want us to bring in is Manny Lawson.

that wouldn't work, he's a guy who played with rivers at nc state and has alot of respect for him lol

[berlownacyo7s]

that's a terrible trade.

[jcdavey]

Why would Detroit trade a Beefed up Redding For another OLB? They have Simms, Dizon, and just drafted the undersized DE from Purdue last year who is a speed rusher...

My guess... Peterson, #1, #20 to Denver For Jay and Sheff and our #12...

My buddy in Detroit is saying this over and over again...People are asking why would they Trade a big man up front...(which they need) for a guy in Peterson who is a NOLAN GUY FROM SAN FRAN after they already have that position...HMMMMMMMMMMM!

That is really stupid, no offense.

Say no to Matt Cassel, #1 overall pick, #20 overall pick for Cutler and a second round, only to say yes to Peterson, #1, and #20 for Cutler, SCheffler, AND Denver's #1?

If Denver said no to the first trade, they sure as he!! aren't going to say yes to the second.

my understanding of it is when never had the chance to say no...bcuzz we came in to late n the pats already agreed to send him to KC...my gut feeling is the pats wanted to stick it mcdaniels n they did that n then some...

Thats because they were never offered the #1 and #20... and the Broncos didn't say no... Belicheck did is the one that cancelled the offer not McDaniels.

Not to mention, we were supposed to get the 1st and third from the Bucs... and the offer from the Lions was the 20th pick and 4th rounder. But we were NEVER offered the 1 and 20 and a second rounder... ever.

i doubt this because any number of things can happen between now and when they would apparently trade for cutler. i don't think they would risk losing their starting DT for someone they don't even need.

plus, the lions were apparently contimplating curry with the number 1 overall. they obviously wouldn't have even considered that if they were happy with there current OLBs.

You live In Michigan...What are they saying on the ticket? Turn it on and listen...

I'm just saying why would the Lions trade Redding for an undersized...OLB or DE? They are set at OLB they drafted that position the last 2 drafts with Dizon and AVRIL...

He may Not be a straight NOLAN guy but he did coach him and he is a 3-4 OLB...And thats a fact...

At 245 lbs Petrson is not an undersized olb he is the prototype. They are not set at olb. Dizon will be lucky to make the team. The first thing swartz and Gunther said is the defense needs to get bigger. Dizon is a tampa 2 linebacker at 220 lbs. Sims can suffice as the wlb at 225 because he is a playmaker.

As for avril he is a defensive end not a linebacker and that is where he played last season. Redding was grossly overpaid and they had his replacement in Grady Jackson. For them to be able to dump his salary and get a pro bowl linebacker is a major coupe for them

[RunYouOver]

Peterson, #1, #20 and next year's first rounder for Cutler, and only Cutler.


That's the deal, and nothing less.

Anything less than that and I'm pissed. If it is that, well...I'm actually excited.

[ItalianBronco]

let me put an end to this nonsense.

Mike Nolan was hired to coach the 49ers in 2005

Julian peterson played for the niners in 2005

Peterson was so much of a nolan guy that he then left after 1 season to go play for the seahawks in 2006

Peterson was neither drafted by Noaln, Traded for by Nolan, signed by Nolan, nor signed to an extension under Nolans watch.

In fact the only thing Peterson did under Nolan was leave the first chance he got.

There is not 1 thing in their carers that would make a reasonable person believe Julian Peterson is a Mike Nolan guy.
