Twitter: Lions looking for WR, Austin speculation, mike fisher will ask

[erod]

If we were to trade Austin, the only thing left to do is sign TO. He could stretch the field and make the safeties pick their poison. Besides, TO and Romo were a great combo on the field for 3 years. I think you would still have to respect TO's speed and his ability to stretch the field. Dez and Witten would have a field day lol. I know this wouldn't happen though. lol

Hey, let's just sign Drew Pearson or Michael Irvin. There's no difference between them and TO at this point.

I can't believe the crap people say about Austin.

The constant Miles Austin bashing pretty much confirms 98% of the stereotypes about Cowboys fans.

Cowboys trade Austin and trade for Gordon- sounds totally awesome

 

[unionjack8]

i dont think we have enough cap room to eat the accelerated $$$$ in his contract

Have to add some secret sauce to get deal done.

 

[SportsGuru80]

Hmmm interesting... I wouldn't be opposed to trading him.

 

[dallasdave]

Gordon would be a young player with upside.

 

[MartinRamone]

I'd imagine if they're WR shopping they'll be looking at the kid in Cleveland first and foremost. I doubt very seriously they'd waste their time going after Austin who, surprise surprise, is having hamstring trouble yet again.

I hope not, Megatron + Gordon could be deadly.

 

[Risen Star]

Austin isn't tradeable. Not with that contract and his injury issues.

Trading away your talent for a draft pick when it is possible you could make a run at the SB is insanity. Trading away players that add value to your team is something a team like the Browns are doing because they aren't talented enough to win right now. We are.

That's a bingo! Nailed it.

You don't fit in on this board. You make wayyyyy too much sense

you might be opposed to the other player, or players you have to cut to pay for the trade. he just got a 5.8 mil signing bonus,we don't have the cap space to trade him. even if they wanted too.

 

[Fredd]

he isn 't going anywhere....fun to talk about these things, but not realistic

Miles Austin - WR - Cowboys
A Dallas source tells DetroitLions.com's Mike O'Hara that Miles Austin is not on the track block.
Austin's name got bandied about as a potential target for the receiver-needy Lions, but it's predictably not going to happen. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones would never give up on a potential asset in-season. Dealing with yet another hamstring injury, Austin's status is unclear for Week 4.

lol. Cowboys want to win the East, make the playoffs, and possibly make a run. But hey, let's trade our 2nd best wide receiver, giving Romo less options.

Like I said, Bleacher Report. As soon as you see that, assume it smells like crap, because that site is crap.

Yup, throw anything up against the wall and see who looks at it.

Hey, I bet Irvin could still show some guys in this league a thing or two.

2 88's on this team is a bad idea. They would clash.
