If I were Jerruh I would be shopping Dez around, to see what the demand is. What the market is. If someone wants to give me a #1 and a #2 for him I now know his value out there.

Now, what's his value to us, I would ask.

Nothing wrong with that, to me it is due diligence.

And besides that it can be a good negotiation tactic.

No player should be above that. Hell, they didn't even give Tony a physical before signing him to his huge deal. Think Jerry doesn't have buyer's remorse right about now?

I'd by gunshy on any new, big deal.

No you are just retarded.
I guess so. Retarded enough I wouldn't have signed Tony without a thorough physical. Retarded enough I would have shopped Austin around first. Retarded enough I would have traded Walker too, if the deal was right.

Retarded enough that I don't think a player automatically "deserves" a new contract, after I know he was well compensated for what he's done up to now.

That's what they say about all non-homers on other boards, right?

I don't get enamored with players in this day and age, since they change teams so much more often than in the old days. This allows objective analysis and dispassionate observation. Things a homer cannot possibly do.

Dez is trade bait, and if you can't get a decent trade for him then you know you also don't need a massive contract offer for him. Let the market decide, instead of emotion.

It's not "trolling" to say that.

If he is so fucking great we should be able to get at least a 1st and 2nd for him.

You're like a lamer version of Dbair except you type way more.

Only other times I've ever seen defenses play a WR like he's gunner on the punt team is 1) Rob Ryan doing it to Dez last year and 2) Packers (IIRC) doing it to Randy Moss.

I don't mind conceding you guy's point here about what you have personally seen, but I'm still not calling it game planning.

Since none of you all call it game planning when they first started doing this, to Bill Bates and actually rehearsed it in their practices. :smile1
