fuzzy - wrong - we can sign gaither to whatever we want, he's an RFA not an UFA.

Every mock I have seen lately has Iupati going 15-20, you will have to move up. Guys who might be there that are supposedly falling are Anthony Davis, Dez Bryant, and Weatherspoon. Still think there will be an early run on linemen however.

I agree. We could possibly see eight OTs go in the first round. Throw in three safeties, some LBs, a CB or two, and all the DL and maybe a WR or so and we have a chance at getting a good OT this draft.

Not one as good as Gaither.

He's better than all these guys in this draft IMO.

If we don't pick up Gaither than Dallas is probably looking elsewhere at 27 anyways.

Dude every single safety or tackle free agent thread has you in it pimping the signing. Its the truth if youre going to get all feelings about it then so be it.

Its not like the guy is an allpro or even a probowler. He is pretty good but not worth giving all that up for. At least hes better than Bushrod.

We can only offer him 5 million anyway so you might as well get used to the idea that we are not going for expensive FA. Its not that hard to understand genius.

This ain't Madden either. You would run a team exactly like Dan Snyder.

Why U So Mad?

Dude get over me. It's nice to see you sitting back reading my posts and then decide to pounce.

I doubt you talk to people like that in person.

Although I've seen it both ways, we can sign one FA for GREATER than 5.5 million. The 5.5 is not a cap.

You probably think Minnesota got a good deal on the Herschel Walker trade.

LOL


Let me explain why that trade makes sense for both sides


Gaither is a top 5 tackle in the NFL and he is 24 years old! Do you really expect Free to become that good? Plus he is already 2 years older.

They need a TE, they will need a tackle to replace Gaither and a 2011 5th round pick to sweeten the deal.

Franchise LT's are hard to come by, Gaither is one.

I see you take this victim martyr tact often.

Its not like I use the search function. Its impossible to miss.

And yes I talk to people like that in person especially after they do the same thing over and over again 30 times.

Martellus Bennett 3rd round pick 2010, 5th round pick 2011.
If that is not enough, i'd throw in Flozell Adams if they want him.
Hell I would even do:

Martellus Bennett, Doug Free and 5th round pick 2011 for Jared Gaither.

Get'er done Jerry

Ok just making sure man.

here is some more on gaither

Jared Gaither-T- Ravens Mar. 7 - 1:10 pm et


After assigning him just a first-round tender, the Ravens are believed to be willing to move restricted free agent LT Jared Gaither.

Gaither would've gotten the first- and third-round tender if the Ravens were truly intent on keeping him. The Ravens want to move Michael Oher to left tackle. The Baltimore Sun suggests four possible destinations for Gaither: San Francisco, Indianapolis, Dallas, and Seattle. Teams targeting Gaither could probably work out a deal for less than the first-round pick.

Interesting, I was always under the impression that it was capped at that.

lol...news flash for Romo 2 Austin - Jared Gaither doesn't run 30+ yards down field and block for Felix Jones on that play like Doug Free.

Cheap, young talent is what we need, a la New England, for longterm success. The last thing I want Jerry to do is hamstring our roster for the next 5 years for an offensive tackle.

Oh dear lord. Are you saying that you would take a swing at me for saying that or something because that is pretty weaksauce?

You don't know me or my past so I will just leave it by saying I have not been in a fight for a long time and the last one I was in was over something that was done and not said.

Quite frankly for the most part if you get in fights over what someone says then you are pretty weakminded.

It's not that fact that we could get him for less than the 1st rounder, it's the inevitable monster contract you're going to have to draft immediately thereafter. So you doubly-lose through a sign and trade deal. I don't like sign and trades, and neither does anyone else on this board that isn't a fan of Roy Williams.

Yet everyone wants to make it happen. I laugh.
