The Trade Block

[flynismo]

I honestly dont expect us to make any trades whatsoever. We dont have any glaring holes that need to be filled right now, that we can't fill in the offseason with a long term solution.

honestly its hard to claim him a bust being 2 years in with a sub .500 team and switching defensive coor. twice already in is young career just saying. most of the people on here have no idea how to evaluate talent. Let alone the fact that just 2 weeks ago the majority of the people were throwing in the towel and claiming torrey smith a bust ,now given the time to play and be a starter almost everyone has turned into jock riders

Problem with him though is that he was given every opportunity and he showed very little result. The whole organization banked on this guy and invested very high on him (6years-60million dollars). They probably tapped alot of knowledge/reps to get him to top performance, he has not performed.

I dont see it either especially since we have to bring Sergio along he needs to start getting some more reps, either that or he needs to pull his head out and play like I know he knows how.

I would much rather the long term situation as well.

Eh, I'd say we have a solid project at OLB in Kindle, but Curry would be good insurance at a decent price, his talent is undeniable it may just be the system/work ethic with which he is struggling

Curry would be an ILB in a 3-4. We have nothing at that position.

Ya damn right

[baltravens]

I say we trade Flacco and throw in Rice to get a QB by the name of Kyle Boller.lol Boy, I miss those days when we could do nothing offensively and Boller played like a college QB.LMAO

[scrock]

I dont want to think and analyze that much so I'll leave it up to Ozzie and Eric

[FerrariFan87]

I could see Ozzie trading for a CB if the right deal/player is available.

My friend who's a seahawks fan predicted curry was gonna have a breakout year.. yeah about that [img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.png[/img]

He's not intelligent enough for defense in the NFL. All the physical characteristics are there, he's just not good enough on the mental side. I can't imagine the Ravens would even be interested (let's be realistic, it really doesn't make sense). I'd be interested in him for a 4th rounder, his youth an potential will drive up the asking price. I would assume they want a 3rd round pick or a 4th and a player. Some team not named the Ravens will over pay for him, I see the bengals or dolphins possibly making an offer. If I had to give my honest guess on his landing spot it be Oakland, They are weak at OLB, in the AFC, plus Al Davis loves raw athletes and loves overpaying for talent.

Seeing as the last 3 out of 4 linebackers to start besides Ray Lewis were all undrafted, I think a 4th is asking too much. I would rather have Josh Bynes than Curry.

That's a very funny and yet true statement. The Ravens aren't too worried about who plays beside Ray because the person next to Ray doesn't need to be an all-star. Especially in our more aggresive schemes. The person next to Ray is just a battering ram, remeber Bart Scott? All they need for them to do is hit the lead blocker/hole hard and let Suga Ray clean it up. If they can atleast do that, than the position is fine.

[SecretAgentMan]

Simple, we trade Redding, to a team that needs a DE. I say trade Redding, Levoir, and our first round pick, for another teams first rounder, and a young FS.

Trade our first round pick? That would severely cripple Ozzie's ability to work his magic

[hawkprey]

Just had an idea - the Titans looked pretty stacked at cornerback. Good thing too, that's usually our cornerback factory. Anyone open to trading for one of their corners? Just checked and they have 9 DBs on their roster.

[JO_75]

I can see the Eagles pulling the trigger on a trade for Curry, but other than that I don't know who else would take him.

This is somewhat related to this topic..... How Much more better would the NFL be if they moved the Trade Deadline to have a MLB Trade Deadline Effect?

[Juviebest]

I personally would rather have Curry's upside then Prescott Burgess. The pick Seattle would get would be a low round one (5 at the very highest) because of his contract. I say take a flyer on him only if he re-structures that 5 million.

[Gordo52]

Curry in our system could be a good fit? Never know. Dont really need him but not against it

[Free Agent]

Sounds like Seattle wants a third round pick for Curry. Maybe if they come down a few rounds, we might have something there.

With the NFL trade deadline looming in a few weeks, I thought we could discuss trade rumors and scenarios here.
This is mainly meant for Ravens trade possibilities, but other team discussion is welcome also.

I'll get it kicked off. Aaron Curry is on the block. Where will he end up? Should we be interested?
[/quote]

I had this thought until I remembered Curry was the 4th Overall pick in the draft a few years ago and received like a 6yr 50M type contract as a rookie.... He still has immense potential and has been on team that lacked any defensive leadership from coaching or other players...
If we could secure a trade with a re-structured contract then it would be a win-win situation... ( I forgot who the 3 rumored teams were but somehow I picture his destination being New England of Philly since they have draft picks to spare )

Too much Madden lol

[BloodRaven]

Curry is a whole lotta nothin'. Don't put too much stock into draft position.

[quote name='ArmyRaven52' timestamp='1317363181' post='809130']
I think Aaron Curry would be a tricky venture, he could end up like vernon gholston or he could resurrect a promising career he is still very young ,and if I remember correctly there was a lot of chatter here to get him.

Side not:I was on a jets board just reading what they thought about the game, and some idiots in there are saying maybin is going to have a big game containing RR, seriously aaron frekin maybin. If that is their plan they are hunting.
[/quote]


I don't find curry to be as risky as a gholston because Curry was never projected to be a pass rusher / sack specialist.. he was deemed the safest pick that because he could cover RBs out the backfield, play in space had decent speed and was more of a tackling machine.... not all linebackers are going to get 10 sacks.. in 3-4 scheme Curry should be the weak inside linebacker..

Gholston on other hand came out as a DE sack artist the thought was he could easily transition to OLB in 3-4 and kid just never developed anything no technique or nothing....

Seattle hasn't exactly had a good defense over the years... I believe any of the "busts" could be coached up by our staff and veteran players..

[grape drank]

Levoir forDarrell revis. We would get rid of Levoir, who has shown similar blocking ability to that of a pylon, and we would get arguably the best corner in the game. Revis would also provide us a mentor for Jimmy Smith. Sounds like a win-win situation to me. (For those who are confused I am being sarcastic)

[RayRiceRunningfortheRavns]

throw in foxworth to sweeten the deal, that would let us activate kindle.

[Natty Boh]

What about Asante Samuel?

Maybe the asking price has dropped a bit the closer the deadline gets here. He could definately help us the rest of this year and I hear he isn't too happy with his role in Philly. Signing Ngata should have taken care of cap issues I would hope.

The only reservations I would have about this (if the Eagles asking price is right for us) would be how many years the Ravens would sign him for. If he was just here to help this year, then no deal. We would have to get at least 2-3 seasons out of him to make it worthwhile.

To be honest, I don't expect any trades for the Ravens but this would be my wishful thinking.

[RayRiceRunningfortheRavns]

Is CB depth even going to be a problem next year? We start Carr/Webb and JSmith, all of whom can cover.

[ravenanchors]

Someone said that our linebackers were not very good.
But
Any NFL linebacker standing next to Ray Lewis will look second rate.
Also,
The Seahawks have made some bone-headed moves with personnel
Hiring a college coach.
Getting rid of Hasselbeck
signing The QB that replaced Hasselbeck
Got rid of most of their playmakers on offense and defense.

This kinda reminds me of that movie Major League
If the the team plays poorly enough they can move the team to another town, and guess what?
Los Angeles gov't just passed a bill that would make it easier to build a NFL stadium and get a team.

Arron may just need some good coaches and a good team but I don't know if Ravens can afford to sign a long term contract

Think of all the players who deserve to get paid next year. (new contracts)
