I agree, but would certainly prefer to have my two cheap young running backs on different teams. I also think that resigning Brown means that for better or worse LenDale will be the start this year. If TEN trades a first round pick and signs Turner to a long term deal I think he is given every chance to be the starter.

I think you're probably right. I think long term GB might be a better situation simply because they are a zone blocking team and Turner seems to be a really good fit for that system.

So, experts - if Turner is a likely starter for the Titans - what's he worth?

Yes, fflivewire.com follows what I have to say (post#1145) very closely.I really can't blame them.
If this is true, I wonder how much the Madden curse figured into AJ's thinking. Should be a top ten pick, no?CONFIRMED from a very reliable insider...It's the TITANS!

I just don't see Thompson giving up a #1 pick, even if it is 2008.I think maybe SD is just sending out info to spark some more interest and get more of the price they are looking for.

If it is in fact a 1st rounder in 2008, as a Chargers fan I am hoping the Packers fall flat on their face and finish in the bottom five in the league. Of course I want Turner to have a great season despite the losing.<-------- Chargers fan

This conspiracy crossed my mind as well, and it would be genius because with him setting up that there were several teams interested then there’s no real way for the teams that really wanted Turner to confirm if it was real or not. I don't believe in conspiracy's but if this wasn't a real offer then floating this information out there before the draft would have a been a smart move.

Then it would be the end of the movie ...So sad ...
But that's beside the point , is nt it exciting to be a Turner owner in a dynasty league .
Traded . Vick , Jamal Lewis and Brandon Jones

Bulger , Turner and Davenport ( i own Parker )
I feel so good about that trade especially today .

Pathetic thing is, I'm a Turner owner too and I probably just jinxed myself.

I think that Turner and White would split time actually, with Turner filling the KR need.

Seeing how the 2008 first rounder seems to be the more likely compensation what's the overall feeling comparing the strength of this year's draft class vs. 2008? Just for fun seeing how we are all just waiting on the other shoe to drop on this Turner deal. We might as well talk about something kind of sort of on topic.

So when does this go down? Tonight? Tomorrow? Since it is a 2008 pick, neither team has to wait to see if the player they want will be available at that pick. I guess the trading team could wait to see if the first round pick tomorrow changes their thinking (e.g., GB's offer is contingent on something absolutely crazy like Peterson falling to them not happening).
I'll bet that this is done by the end of tonight so each team can go to bed knowing exactly what their "needs" are for the draft tomorrow and what ammunition they have to make other deals (e.g., SD could use the traded pick to make another move).

The latest:
The Titans did not offer a first-round pick in next year's draft, according to sources familiar with the trade talks, but have discussed other options including one scenario where the two teams would swap first round picks in this year's draft.
Another trade scenario would involve the Titans giving up a second-round pick in this year’s draft, along with further compensation either in this year’s draft or in next year’s draft.

I'm not sure how next years class will compare to this one. It will probably be stronger, I've read that some of the teams only have 15-20 players from this years draft billed as first round talent. Not sure how true that is. If you can take any sense of draft status from mock drafts that one could come to that conclusion. Seems the first 15-20 guys are all the same, maybe not the same order but the same guys. Then after that it's quite a bit of variety.Also, I think that whatever team is offering the first rounder in 08, is betting they will have a low first round pick next year. If it is a 2008 draft first, we must assume that whoever is offering it has someone targeted this year, and is expecting immediate results. Otherwise, why not give up this years first, assuming that next year will have more legitimate first round talent.If it's the Titans, I think it's because they are expecting playoffs. If they add a Ted Ginn and a DE like Woodley in the 2nd, and trade for Turner. I think they could actually improve upon last years record.However, Green Bay could very well be trying to load up for one last hoorah for Favre. If they make a play for Turner, I could see them going after Moss and mortgaging a draft for their golden boy.The plot has thickened.
