Shaun Alexander to be Jag?

NJ Chief Fan · 06-08-2005, 04:24 PM

nfl.com is reporting that the jags and seahawks may swap alexander in exchange for a 3rd rounder

what the hell is jacksonville gonna do with fred taylor?

Nightfyre · 06-08-2005, 04:25 PM

Wow. A third rounder? That's amazing...

TRR · 06-08-2005, 04:32 PM

They probably aren't counting on Taylor to make it through TC again.

**Rain Man** · 06-08-2005, 04:33 PM

Wow. They'd be better off cutting some guys to make cap room for what he's asking. A third-rounder is grounds for expelling the franchise from the league.

My brother (big Hawks fan) said that he had heard that this is not going to happen because the Jags don't want to have to rework his contract after the trade.

As to Taylor, he has quietly played in every game for 4 years but everyone still thinks of him as an injury risk.

Considering he missed two games last season, and 14 games in 2001...I highly doubt he played in every game for the last 4 seasons. But who's counting.

Ok, sorry that was based on an incorrectly remembered conversation. He did miss 2 games last year. And make it the last 3 seasons, not 4 and I come close at least.

I take Alexander for a 3rd in a heart beat...unles he wants to be paid like Manning

I'm just giving you sh*t. Taylor has been able to stay pretty healthy the last several seasons. Healthier than our own Priest Holmes.

Small market team is my guess.

I am not worried, I stuck my foot in my mouth. I was rather surprised by this also, I wouldn't have had him on my fantasy team last year because of his "history". This year I may think a little differently.

Considering Jax's defense, this could make them a team to look out for.

In what way does Jimmy Smith not get any love?
