Where does McGahee end-up (1 Viewer)

[el centro]

Personally, I'd like to see him end up in Green Bay... but I wouldn't be surprised to see this drag on until the NFL Draft next month.

NOTE: I added Cleveland as a choice only because they need a RB, but I haven't seen anything that links him to Cleveland at all.

Where's the choice for "Who cares, as long as it's not Buffalo?"

Where's the choice for "Who cares, as long as it's not Buffalo?"

It's right under "Who cares, McGahee is only an average RB anyway."

Those are the same thing.

I really see him in Baltimore playing with fellow Canes Ed Reed and Ray Lewis. This seems like the best fit both on the field and as far as keeping him motivated I think those guys have the potential to get the most out of him.

concur.

Just saw on the FBG News Bulletin that the re-signing of Lewis is far from a sure thing, and McGahee is now on the radar.

Baltimore should win this going away.

Baltimore should win this going away.

Working under this assumption, if McGahee does end up in Balt, how would that effect his ranking? top 5? I think it would be a definite upgrade over Buff due mostly to the much better defense/field position although the line isn't that much better in Balt. I guess this may put him in the 10-12 range behind....LTLJParkerGoreAlexSjaxWestyRudiPortisHenryand right with Addai, R. Brown, .....

People are THAT certain that there will be a trade for McGahee? I haven't seen enough to support this level of confidence.

He has become a PR nightmare. 3 Paternity filings? How many other's waiting to happen when he signs a new $$ contract?

TO aleast performs all the time. Willis only performs with the ladies!

As for his destination, I see Balt as the most likely spot, but I would like see him land in GB and with their poor OL, watch him tear his knee again!

You're a class act for sure.

Horrible posting Who wants to wish some hurt?

 

[GroveDiesel]

I think that he'll end up back in Buffalo for the last year of his contract, bad blood and all. He'll probably be great for the first half of the season and then terrible the second half as he tries not to get hurt before FA.

The Bills aren't going to be able to get anything in return for him so they won't trade him. Besides, they don't have ANYONE to replace him right now. They'd have to sign Anthony Thomas again or make a serious play for Dominic Rhodes both as stopgaps. It would also pretty much force them to draft a RB. They'd either have to look at Lynch at the 12 spot or hope that they could get someone like Antonio Pittman in the second round.

 

[Gottabesweet]

Excellent post Grove. Thats what I think. Make him play this year then he's gone. Draft Pittman round 2 and get him ready to take over next year!

It would be a waste of money and time to trade him, get little in return, have a below average rb this year and possibly have to use your first on Lynch.

This year: CB/LB 1st, RB 2nd, CB/LB 3rd.

I think McGahee plays amazing this year. Clements stepped it up down the stretch. Got good money.

Here's one of many.Baltimore Sun

Understand that many here are from either Buffalo or the Baltimore area ( ). The talk is mostly about Willis here, with some smidge of Corey Dillon.

 

[Whiplash Inc.]

Baltimore would be a great fit for him, IMO.

I agree with this view What's the incentive for Baltimore to trade a day 1 pick for a 1 year guy? Is he that much better than the FAs out there, not to mention available RBs in the draft to pair with Smith?

I respect the local opinion, but I was told I should "read more". The article you linked was blurbed on Rotoworld and says nothing more than the Ravens are "interested" in discussing a trade for McGahee. Hardly anything close to a sure thing.But good to know the talk.

I'm sure anyone trading for Willis will be offering a new contract.

 

[Couch Potato]

It seems there was this one guy predicting McGahee to the Ravens on Feb 7, exactly one month ago, when no one else was. Pretty smart guy, this guy.

McGahee and Drew? This can't end well.

Here is my soap scenario:

McGahee will stick around after no team is willing to give up what the Bills want. McGahee skips all early camps while him and Drew continue to make noise. Training camps starts, McGahee skips, and ESPN soaks up the drama and invites Drew as a guest on all of their shows including a weekly SC visit. The Bills finally have enough of his antics and trade him in August for 2nd or less in the 2008 draft.

I would prefer the Bills front office to ignore this whole thing and fine McGahee while he sits the year, but I don't think they have the guts to do it.

Haha.... you know sometimes pretty much all the time I fail to think of the obvious.I'm assuming a McGahee + Rosenhaus + Newsome contract negotiation is gonna be a toughie, especially with the large disparity of McGahee's performance to his self-percieved performance has been.

The contract is the reason I'd be surprised if the trade with the Ravens gets done. They'd be crazy to give up a high pick and pay him the Portis-type money he's asking for.

If Donahoe was still the GM I'd say there'd be no way the Bills would have the backbone to leave McGahee sitting at home. But with Levy as the GM? I think that he would possibly do that if the right trade wasn't there.

 

[Enigma or Loose Cannon?]

I think he plays for Houston in '08.
