I don't think Dallas is looking at Bly. He's insistent on becoming a Commander due to some of his former ties to members of their staff. A good guess could be Julius Jones being traded for a defensive back or an offensive lineman. Now I'm not trying to start an arguement here by throwing his name out there, it's just that most trade talk we've heard recently involves his name.

Denver is a great place to live and play, while Wash seems to be stuck in a constant state of turmoil. If I am Bly I keep my trap shut and stay in Den.

I don't think Bly is the only player being shopped in trades around the NFL. Why exactly are we focused in this forum on the possibility it could be him?
It could be we're trying to acquire someone.
It could be someone is trying to acquire someone from us.
There exist possibilities beyond Dre Bly.

Yeah...some players are about the money, some are about winning. A guy like Adalius Thomas gets it...he got less than he probably could of gotten from the Niners, but he is going to a Super Bowl contender...year in, year out.burmafrd;1410188 said:

Trade winds blowing in full force
By Adam Schefter
NFL Analyst
Adam Schefter's "Around the League" reports and commentaries can be seen regularly on NFL Total Access.
(March 6, 2007) -- Now that the free-agent market is beginning to wind down, trade winds are rapidly blowing.
The hottest names on the block are Oakland wide receiver Randy Moss, Kansas City quarterback Trent Green, Denver cornerback Dre' Bly and Buffalo running back Willis McGahee.
Though the Raiders have not initiated any calls to move him, Oakland has listened to offers for Moss. The Raiders are open to the idea of trading Moss, according to a source close to Oakland.
Teams that have shown interest, according to the source, are the New England Patriots, the Green Bay Packers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
However, Raiders owner Al Davis is said not to be interested in trading Moss unless he gets fair value in return for the wide receiver he once traded the 2005 draft's seventh overall pick and linebacker Napoleon Harris to acquire.
And Davis usually has a steep asking price. Just last year, when the Raiders entertained the notion of trading disgruntled wide receiver Jerry Porter, Oakland requested two first-round picks in return.
At the Indianapolis scouting combine, Raiders coach Lane Kiffin said he expected Moss to return for the 2007 season. But another NFL source said this week: "Maybe there is something to be said with trading him and sending a message that you're not going to put up with that guy. That may be more beneficial for Lane than keeping him."
Yet until and into the 2007 NFL Draft, speculation will persist about whether Moss will stay or go. He will not be the only player shrouded in speculation.
The Kansas City Chiefs granted permission to Green to seek a trade with another team. At the same time, the Chiefs offered Green the opportunity to remain in Kansas City with a restructured contract.
Yet not only would Green have to work under a reduced contract, he also faces the distinct possibility of not starting. Chiefs quarterback Damon Huard, who signed an extension this offseason, would not have agreed to return to Kansas City if he didn't have the opportunity to start. Plus, Kansas City invested a 2006 third-round draft pick in former Alabama quarterback Brodie Croyle, who is expected to be the No. 2 signal-caller this season.
Green's agent, Jim Steiner, already has begun discussions aimed at resolving this matter as soon as possible, with Kansas City or another team. Steiner has spoken to the Dolphins, and Miami's new coach Cam Cameron worked with Green in Washington in 1995 and '96. Green also played at Indiana and Cameron coached there, so there are connections between the men.
But the Dolphins would have to satisfy the Chiefs' asking price as well as Green's, and Miami might not be interested in doing both.
Another issue that could be addressed is the future of Bly, whom Denver acquired in a trade last week. Bly would prefer to play at Washington, but the Broncos are unwilling to part with him for anything less than what they deem fair value.
Already, the Commanders have offered the Broncos cornerback Shawn Springs; Denver has asked for Washington's backup running back, Ladell Betts, whom the Broncos still would like even though they already have signed free-agent running back Travis Henry.
New Orleans has offered Denver a fourth-round pick for Bly; Denver quickly rejected the Saints offer as not enough. The Broncos continue to insist that, unless they get what they want in return, they will not trade Bly, who has one year remaining on his existing contract.
And last, but not least, there is the matter of McGahee, whom Buffalo has been shopping this offseason. Buffalo recently began shopping McGahee again, seeing if now that some running backs have found homes, other teams would be interested in its back.
Buffalo is looking for a first-day draft pick, preferably a second-round pick. One of the main reasons other teams have balked at surrendering it is that McGahee has one year remaining on his contract, and will be seeking a big-time contract as soon as this offseason.
But some team could get a great back for a cheap price. It's part of the process each team must weigh as the trade winds blow.

How about J. Jones and our late third round pick for a McGahee test drive with our new offensive line? I doubt McGahee is going to get a really fat contract next season. He may get a decent one. It might be nice to have a back with a more rounded repertoire rather than just speed or just power.

Guys, these trade rumors are moving in full force right now seeing as how a few more Commanders restructured their contracts to free up money, probably to give Bly a new contract. While I dont believe Betts will be involved in the trade seeing as how well he has played for us, but nothing will shock me. We seem to want to trade out of the 6th spot for more picks and Denver looks like they will be our partner.
