Less temptation for Snyder:

Lions trade Bly to Broncos for Tatum Bell, Foster

Man, Champ Baily and Dre Bly??? That's sick.

wow, that is a pretty nasty secondary

I agree, Bly on one side and Bailey on the other... that's the first thing that came to mind....

But I have a few points... 1) It's kind of sad.. it only happened because of Darrent Williams's death...2) They basically only gave up Tatum Bell and a 5th round choice.. i think that's pretty cheap... 3) They must be tired of Kevin Jones getting hurt a lot, and i'm sure they'll get Joe Thomas now to help fix that line... maybe they'll improve somewhat using both bell and jones

But I do know this... I'm glad the Redskins didn't trade for Bly

The Broncos gave up George Foster (1st round pick) and Tatum Bell (2nd round pick), i don't think that's pretty cheap!

Dag thats all they gave up? <shakes head>

The Skins would have traded two 1st rounders.

What does it matter where the players where picked at in the draft? I don't think that means anything now....

It would matter to most teams I would think, the Broncos invested a 1st and 2nd for two players that are no longer on their team for a 30 year old cornerback.

This proves that ANY running back can be productive for the Broncos

Actually, the Redskins invested one of those picks.

Thanks for bringing that up....again^

Yeah, but the 2nd was our pick they rooked us for in the Portis trade!

true, but either way now they've wasted it. Anyways, I think they gave up too much and am glad we weren't the ones trading young players and a pick.
