The Ticket reported Dal/Det Trade

[TwoDeep3]

Detroit wanted our 1st, 2nd, 3rd plus next year's 1st and Witten tom get the number 2 overall.

Nice move Jerry. You did the right thing by passing.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

Smart move Mr. Jones.

 

[Concord]

Jerry would have been lynched.

Nice move Jerry. You did the right thing by passing.

And thats why Detroit got stuck with him. THey asked for the moon and people laughed at them. There were probably 5 teams that would have offered them something significant, but Detroit wanted more.

Nobody is going to give that much for a wideout. Nobody.

Detroit easily could've traded their 1 for someone else's 1 and 3 this year and a 1 next year.

Now I ask you, with all the needs detroit needs, can you sit here and say they wouldn't be better off with two 1's and a 3rd vs getting a great wideout and nobody who can throw the ball to him?

And thats why Detroits always in the cellar.

 

[Rampage]

thats a crazy suggestion by detroit

No-brainer.

 

[Joe a Cowboys fan]

Detroit tryed to pull a Minniesoda deal on us. Good job JJ for showing restraint and still making a good trade.

 

[Doomsday101]

I'm glad that deal was not done but I'm glad to see that Jerry at least inquired about moving up to get a great player like Johnson. I do agree that price was way too high

 

[Yeagermeister]

Jerry should have laughed while hanging up.

 

[calico]

Unreal. Thankfully Jerry learned his lesson already on trading away 2 years worth of drafts for a WR.

 

[Achozen]

Wow. Even a caveman would have declined that trade.

Yep. I'm glad the Boyz didn't bite on that crap. And they had the nerve to ask for Witten too? Puhleeeeze.

He probably did.

Who in their right freaking mind would have made that deal?! Good lord, the Lions would get arrested on rape charges if we would have taken that deal.

 

[Jimz31]

An insult to even ask for that.

They wanted 2 first rounders, a 2nd, a 3rd, and a probowl TE???

I bet everybody in the Boyz war room was on the floor rolling, I know I would have been.

[ThreeSportStar80]

Though I like Calvin Johnson, that's wayy too much.

 

[montgod]

Well... at least we know he at least inquired about a WOW player...

Good job in rejecting that trade. I wonder if there were any offers for any other top ten players...
