Trade Bait?

I really thhink the Chiefs need to trade Carl Peterson and get someone who knows what the HELL he is doing!!!!!!!!!

Lets get rid of Derrick Johnson while were at it, about the only player I'm not willing to trade for draft picks is the team MVP Dustin Colquit.

I'm sorry folks, but getting rid of tony g. or LJ is not the issue here. Getting rid of Herm Edwards is. Whoever is the coach following Edwards disastrous time here will have quite a job righting the ship. Why not get rid of Edwards at the end of this season and let a new coach who actually knows something make a team out of what is left. We have some good young talent as well as LJ and Tony. Tony can probably play for a couple of more years, why not let him do it here in a Chiefs uniform with an improving team coached by someone other than Herm Edwards?

For you people who want to "give Tony what he wants". What are you thinking? Screw what he WANTS. It's not about him. It's about the Chiefs. Now, if the Chiefs can get something in return that benefits the CHIEFS, then I'm all for it. This is a business. PERIOD. You don't get ANYWHERE in this league by doing the right thing for a player.

I don't care if Tony EVER gets a ring unless he's a Chief. Trading him "so he gets a chance at a ring" is ridiculous.

The Chiefs organization needs to focus on what is best for them. That...is DOING THE RIGHT THING.

I still say the best trade we could make would be Kolby Smith for Dennis Dixon. That way, we wouldn’t have to spend any draft picks on a backup quarterback, which we will have to do if we don’t acquire one before then, and with any luck Dixon could be far enough along in a year (or two) to start leading this team. Any way way you look it, we’re most likely going to be seeing at least 2 new quarterbacks on the roster next year so we might as well be doing what we can to address that particular situation now if at all possible. And it is possible.

Im sure every other team in the NFL can see that our line, well the right side anyways, sucks donkey dick and that is why LJ isn't doing so well. I would say there would definitely be some interest if we put him out there. I think J.C could turn out to be pretty good. I don't wanna see Tony go but it would help him and us so it wouldn't be the worst thing that ever happened. Isn't Cottom "supposed" to be something like Tony. As far as the other two joes, Id like to see em go.

I'm like evreybody else, I think T.G. should be traded b-cause he deserves it. I would like to see him in NY with the Giants. He would be a great fit there. Trade L.J. also if possible.

TG to arizona for DRC NOTHING LESS.

LOL

I would listen to offers for Surtain and Huard involving draft picks coming back.I would not be inclined to trade LJ or Tony. Surtain would be hard to trade with his cap number. If someone would give up a 5th round pick for Huard, I would be open to it.

LJ hasn't taken the abuse most "feature backs" take.

Just something to consider.

LJ has very little value. I can't imagine any GM in their right mind would give up a 1st rounder for a guy who hasn't performed well on a regular basis since 2006, has a large contract and it coming dangerously close to a major regression in his career.

RBs are a dime a dozen which is why they have such little value. We gotta face it, we're stuck with LJ. Carl made the mistake of paying LJ for what he HAD done for us instead of what he COULD do for us.

"By the time the Chiefs are good again, he's going to be done ..."

That is depressing.

that should have read "no real direction IMO" Stupid sausage fingers.

If we can get a 1st or 2nd rounder for LJ I would take it in a heartbeat. I have never been a huge fan of his though he has done some nice things for us at times. I feel we can get another back that would have quality results and compliment JC, in later rounds. Or even late in the 1st. Look at what Forte and Chris Johnson have been doing. I think RB is not a huge concern with the other glaring needs on this team. The right side of the O-line needs to be completely re-thought. I say trade him to whoever will take him and give us something decent we can use to build.

If Tony wants out i say let him go. It hurts like hell and I'll never see him as anything but a Chief. But to let him waste away the last few seasons of his career (on a team with no real IMO) is a shame.

Actually, I didn't want LJ re-signed, at least not to a 6 year deal. There is plenty of statistical evidence that shows a clear drop off when a back takes that many carries in one season (06) and when he hits age 30.

So, I'm not everyone :)

Now I'm just as tired of Carl as the next guy, but that's bullshit. Everybody was screaming at Carl to just resign LJ and give him the money he deserved. Now everybody says "What a shitty decision! Why would he do that?"

It's the exact same thing with the rebuild. Now everybody's saying "Herm should have blown up the roster when he first got here in '06". Bullshit. If he would have done that there would have been riots in the streets. We had one of the best offenses in the league at the time and people wanted him to blow it up? Sure they did.

Every last one of us (for the most part) would have been screaming bloody murder if Herm and Carl would have made these moves at the time. I'm sure there are exceptions but for the other 98% of us: you would have been PISSED if they wouldn't have resigned LJ or would have blown up that offense. Hindsight is 20-20. Let's not be hypocritical here.

We are definitely wasting money on LJ. He'll hit 30 next year and regress much more than he already has.

And what sucks the most is that we're stuck with him through 2009 at the earliest. We'd take a $16 million cap hit if we traded him now - another great contract by Carl Peterson where we'll have to keep a shitty player on the roster longer than we want to because he can't admit his mistake.

Interesting. Jason Dunn, maybe? Thanks for the update, southsideD. We'll definitely keep an eye on those possibilities, which do sound like pretty good destinations for him. I think both teams will win their division.

before the denver game Tony went into Carl Peterson's office and asked to be traded in the coming weeks. I got this information from a former player who is very close to tony... Look for Tony to be traded to the Cardinals or Giants.

Tony has been on several Chiefs teams that were very much within striking distance of a Superbowl and because he was such a central part of all that, I say he has to assume a certain level of responsibility for that never happening. In other words, he has had several shots at it. Aside from paying him well for playing well, what exactly do the Chiefs and their fans need to repay him for? Sorry, I'm scratching my head on this one.

Our offense is built around LJ (allegedly).

I pretty much agree with you about Surtain. Herm can handle their development. He spends extra time with them.

And Tony G should get what he wants. I wonder if he's approached Management about it.
