Since he will not be playing in the NFL this year as a result of violating that league's drug policy, the Argos have put him on their negotiation list. Do you think this is a good move?

I don't think he wants to play.  The only reason he was playing with the Dolphins is because they would require his signing bonus back, if he didn't fulfill his complete contract... that was worth like 6.5 million or something.\n\nSo, if he didn't play with the Dolphins and finish his contract, he's owe them the entire signing bonus.

Sorry to lay it out like this, but it's not as bright as you think.  \n1. Daunte is hurt BAD...we'll see how much he can play this offseason when he needs to the reps with totally new receivers...if he misses a lot of the offseason, how can they establish timing?  Also, Daunte isn't really that good at the technical stuff...he had Cris Carter to tell him what to do in the huddle...Carter retired and he hasn't been as good.\n\n2.  Marcus Vick - A hothead who makes poor decisions. He should have gone to a Jr college so at least he could prove he has control over his demons...I mean, I can't say he has a brain in that head at all!  Why come out after that horrific year when you obviously don't need the money?  Just plain stupid.  Coach Saban has been nicknamed Coach Satan by some of his former players...not the most patient man in the world...I see this ending very badly for Vick.\n\n3.  I have always LOVED Harrington...he was never given support in Detroit but stayed positive until the end.  HOWEVER, this would be a disasterous situation for him to have to lead the team if Daunte can't go...he needs a very low pressure situation with a team a year or two away, not a team who's year is now, like Miami.  \n\nMiami will still have an uphill climb to win the division vs. New England.  Believe it or not, the Bills and Jets may see weak, but they could easily sweep Miami if the Fins look past that weeks contest....\n\nOn the bright side...I love that Derek Hagan pick, some say he went too high, but he can be a superstar with a little polishing

Edge DOESN'T THINK he'll be back, but with the market the way that it is for running backs, there's still a chance (albeit a small one) that the colts could re-sign him at a cheap price.  they'll franchise wayne.\nas for alexander, i wouldn't be so confident that he'll be a seahawk next year.  he has the opt-out clause in his contract if they try to franchise him.  to further complicate matters, seattle's management seems to be doing everything they can to NOT re-sign him.  add on top of that his recent MVP award, and shaun alexander looks less and less like a future seahawk.\ni'm looking for T.O. in either Denver, K.C., or Dallas next year.  the skins already have santana moss.

It's a good trade for you. You are ripping him off because you're basicly trading away alge crumpler for carson palmer. Dallas Clark and Mcnabb are both injured, Mcnabb out for the season.

Cheap hit?  An Edmonton player knocked the Carolina player into him.  \n\nBut I agree, it's a shame his season has to end this way, and it is a shame for Edmonton to lose him now.  I think he still has a chance to be playoff MVP (depending how the series finishes) for his stellar play in the first three rounds.

here are my vview on things:\nI'm reading through some of the comments about this situation "I hope it's not serious", "gee that's too bad, we hope he'll be all right"..."he's a great player, hope he can still play"... but I can't help thinking "what a waste."\n\nHow many of us would love to be living a dream, to be a pro football player, making millions? This kid is already on record as the youngest QB ever to win a Superbowl, he's got his whole life and career in front of him, and he doesn't care to protect all that he has to live for?\n\nOne article I read mentions how players past and present, as well as his coach have appealed to him to reconsider his celebration of freedom in not having to wear a helmet. Fellow Americans presumably equally in support of "freedom" yet were also able to consider what he potentially had to lose if he should meet in an accident.\n\nAnd here we are. The article I read said "injuries do not appear life-threatening." Will he play again? Sheesh, we are not out of the woods of whether he'll have a sound mind again, let alone make critical decisions with a blitzing linebacker zeroing in on him.\n\nAs a fan, this player attitude has always bugged me. The discussion issue to which I'm referring is whether athletes, paid by fans, should have some obligation to the fans. Ticket prices go up when big name players are signed, and if they are injured - especially preventable injuries - why shouldn't ticket prices go down and let insurance pay their salary, or refuse it if they insist on taking unnecessary risks?\n\nCase in point - at the beginning of this last NHL season, Toronto Maple Leaf captain Mats Sundin gets hit in the eye. He refuses to wear facial protection, and he's out for the first month. Duh.\n\nLike everyone else in the sports world, I join in wishing Big Ben a full recovery. I hope we get to see him continue what many are now confident must be a hall of fame career. Do I feel sorry for him? Sure...but, for crying out loud, at what point do we hold people accountable for taking unnecessary risks? Wearing a helmet might have rendered this a great story about how he had the accident yet was ok.\n\nThis may not be a popular position, but heck, don't we as parents get upset with our 7 year olds for playing near the stairs or not looking both ways before crossing the street? If we expect kids to make smarter decisions in the interest of their own safety, why is it so easy to make excuses for "adults"?

I'm going to assume this is NOT a keeper league, and your question is just to see if its ethical to make a trade when you are out of the playoff chance...right? If its not a keeper league, then I do question the reasoning for the trade. Especially if this is a good buddy of yours. He's getting an every week #1 RB in Barber for all of his bench players. The guys you're getting are OK, but the only one resembling a first rounder is injured, and possibly out for the rest of the year (McGahee). If you were to shop Tiki to all of the teams for a few days, then take what you feel is the best offer... I'd still question the reason for a trade unless your 0-10 team is trying to pick up a quality keeper.

i don't like the trade.\nshelton might just slow down.\na-rod is having a so so year.\nbeckett is pitching well. you don't know when one of your starting pitchers will go on the DL.\ntejada will have a good season again. there is not that many quality shortstops out there.

I think he made a mistake coming back, and if the teams he pitches against don't get psyched out by his former reputation, I think he will lose more than he wins. In that case he most definitely will not be worth the huge amount of money Houston is paying him. Notice I never used the word "earn."

Since the Texans just signed him to a 3 year extension, I don't think they are looking to get rid of him.  I think the team knows that it is really the O-Line that is killing them.  When he gets more than a few seconds to think, he is a great QB.  I think adding Bush to the roster and hopefully drafting out some good Offensive Linemen will make Carr a candidate for Offensive Player of the Year.

Tough call. From a value stand point it seems fair. But who is he left with at RB? With you being the Commissioner it does put you in a tough position however. I'd send out a league wide e-mail saying I going to accept the trade on Nov. 15th (if your trade deadline is the 17th like mine). All owners have until that time to make a better offer to get LJ.

come on marc cuban would be the best possible thing for not only the penguins but the NHL.  look at what he did with the mavs. does any one remember what a joke they were when he bought them.  Not to mention lets get a little pub for the NHL... Immagine what he would do to that prick betman I am salivating just thinking about it.

Richards....\nHe just isn't fitting in right now.\nI'm sure he will explode later in the season as per usual, but if you gotta get rid of one of them....\n\nfrom a source:\nEvery newspaper I read this morning (which is a lot of them) is raving about how TB GM Jay Feaster is looking to make a trade. Richards is safe, St.Louis has a no-trade clause, and Lecavalier is untouchable. Why waste time speculating on those guys? The only way a team takes St.Louis is if they give up a pile of salary in return. Lecavalier...would take a Joe Thornton-like deal.

he wont be traded until after the playoffs, because the trade deadline has already passed. It is very possible that he will be traded though since he has not played the way he should and likely needs a fresh start.(it likely depends on his performance in the playoffs)

I agree, ...although Gore has a relaxed schedule the rest of the season, I wouldn't expect him to be the same coming back from a concussion.  \nAll in all, it looks like a fair trade for both you and this friend of yours.

not true with your statement on Battier being undroppable.\nHe has almost zero trading value especially in an 8 team league.\nEllis for Maggete is something i would never have done, but you never know, it might turn out good for you

The best thing for them to do is to take it easy (i.e. don't trade him right away, NOT slack off on some games) for another month, and see where they are on July 28th or so.  If they think they can still contend, then they need to keep him; however, most likely they will not be in it by then (I hate saying that, I'd like to see the little guys play well, but let's face it, there's just not as much parity in MLB as there is in the NFL).  The nice thing is that they can afford to wait and listen to some serious offers, and as long as they stay within striking distance, they can drive the offers up.\n\nThey will definitely lose him at the end of the season, so they would be wise to trade him for some good talent that is locked up for a year or two, but the closer they are, the more they'll get for him.
