Some trades I'd make...
-
I didn't mean that trades are likely...just that if they're going to happen, they'll go down sometime during training camp.

Doubt Denver wants Smith. He's not a starter and they have enough average/below average defensive linemen.
DA won't be going to SF or Minny either.. SF has two first rounders next year and would probably rather have a young guy out of the deep QB draft next year than a guy who appears to have hit his ceiling already. Minnesota needs a game manager. Actually, SF really just needs a game manager too, but they seem to be somewhat happy with Shaun Hill.. I think DA needs to go to a team where he can throw it. I don't see him as a game manager at all. I would say Carolina, but they just signed Delhomme to a big deal for some reason. I don't think the market is good for DA right now. Not as a starter, anyways.
Edwards to the Bears would be a great fit, but they have little to trade. The Giants are done dealing for Braylon. The Jets.. I could see it happening, but considering how much they gave up to get Sanchez I doubt they'll do it. Oakland, can put nothing past Oakland. It wouldn't surprise me.
D'Qwell will look much better with better talent around him and on the defensive line. He's a very good player.
I'm sure someone would give Fraley a look.

Todd Grantham is the Cowboys' DL coach, so there's already some familiarity with the player...though, if I recall correctly, there was some speculation here that Shaun Smith was the anonymous player the OBR got to trash Grantham after he'd been fired.
Pretty sure it was LeShaun who led the charge against Grantham, but he certainly wasn't the only one.
Guys I think could get dealt in camp:
Pool
LeShauna
Braylons
Fraley
Wimpley
Dexter
Hadnot
Leon and Corey Williams
Granted, just throwing names out there but some could be packaged rather than outright released.

It's too bad the Raiders drafted Russell last year. I think Al would really appreciate DA. For the reasons you stated.
I was kind of expecting a deal to the Raiders even with Russell there. In case he continues to struggle. But it never happened. They went after Garcia instead.

Yeah. I think DA can actually be a pretty successful QB in the right system. Unfortunately for him, there really aren't too many teams like that at the moment who need a QB. The Raiders are one.. I don't think Garcia is a great fit there, either. I really thought SF or Minnesota would go after him. Or Denver, after the Cutler trade.
Completely off-topic, but while we're on this subject, I think Chicago is a terrible fit for Jay Cutler. I think there is going to be some real disappointment in Chicago next year.

I'm with you.....And Kyle Orton may end up being a pleasant surprise in Denver.
I agree with you about Orton. Can you believe he's 21-12 as a starter. If you think about it that's all that matters W and L's.

I like Orton. A big guy that just needs to cut down on his INT's to become an elite QB. He finally got his chance to start every week after his rookie season and had a decent year for the Bears.
This trade by the Broncos could end up being the steal of the decade.

Orton is what he is: A very good backup or a bottom ten starter.It's hard to say this about Orton since he spent his time in Chicago. But we should have a better idea after the '09 season.

SF is going to use the short to intermediate passing game. They're going to be a run-first team and try to win the turnover battle and beat teams primarily with their defense. Doesn't sound like a DA team to me.
Anyone can be good with Denver's offensive line, Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal. The Bears' offense isn't exactly passer-friendly. I don't even think their current offense would be passer-friendly if it had good WRs.
