Henry Trade date soon?

[TigerJ]

I think maybe the most critical part of that story had to do with concerns over team morale if its star RB from the last two years were to be traded. That's why I don't think it will happen before the season. Some people dismiss morale as a factor, but I think TD does take it into account. If a trade happens, I think it happens next spring, and more than likely during the draft itself.

Too many risks for the organization to wait..RB controversy, Fumblitis, Injury, Drastic drop in #'s, Deep draft class.. all risks that we take with Henry after the season starts.

Way to many risks.. just bring in a capable backup for WM.

I seriously dought if TH and WM will be able to co-exist on the same team splitting carries.

The same thing that would happen if DB went down.. you bring in a capable 2nd.. Hamrick from Dallas I think was released.

We need to talk to the two time SB champ Antoine Smith.. we know he could function as at least a quality backup. After leading his former team to two SB.

It won't happen this year. But looking into the future it is a possiblity. TD is setting this team up: Losman, Euhus Peters, McGahee andEvans, all of these players will be developing together much like the core of the Bills in the 90's. Whether they can accomplish the same is unknown, but I really don't see Henry in the mix when the reigns are turned over. Does anybody see Simonton as a capable #2?

You want to get rid of T.Hen and replace him with Hambrick not smart.What the hell is wrong with having two good backs?

And he didn't lead them to both SBs,coaching,there D,and Brady's screen passes was why the won 2 SBs.

This thread is rediculous, along with the other hundred or so of these.

Henry for Gallery? Hell yeah! Henry for just about anything else? Hell no!

[TigerJ]

I think Ken Simonton is a third back, the kind of guy you stick in when you really want to change things up and confuse the defence. He's not necessairily the guy II'd turn to if the starter is injured.

What in the world does Oakland have that we need? No way we are getting Gallery for Henry. If Al makes that trade then I'll be on the next flight out there with some Kansas beachfront property to sell him.

I just don't see any player trades happening with Oakland. Draft trades maybe....in fact, Oakland is likely to suck again this year so if by some miracle we could get our '05 #1 back that'd be awesome. But I don't see them doing that either so I really don't think this is going to happen.

I love Travis, and I really want to see him stay, but if Willis is the real thing, and he has a good season, then I say move him. Moving him now I think would be silly, b/c we simply don't know how Willis will perform yet.

[Marvelous]

What scares me is That WM has yet to prove that he can make it in the NFL, or that he can stay healthy.
Henry is our best player now that Moulds had a down year and is aging.
I don't get why Bills fan would want to trade Henry.

I see Nick Maddox as more of a #2 back then Ken Simonton but both have the skills to produce. On the flip side both are also smallish. I would like to keep Henry for this year bc there are still too many unknowns about Willis. Plus IF we make the playoffs we can increase his trade value by showing he can produce in the playoffs always a bonus with a RB. I see Willis as 100% physically its more of the mental that im more concerned with. If he can get it into his head that his knee is back and he has full form again then I say he breaks out. If not oh well, a wasted 1st rounder, not like we havent ever done that before.

Henry and McGahee in 04!
Henry or McGahee in 05!

WHAT THE ****, if we move Henry I will be very PISSED. He was the only reason we were in any games offensively. They didnt give him the ball in key situations, het still runs for over 1,000 on A ****IN BROKEN LEG. Now you people want to dump him for an unproven back with a bad history of knee problems. EVERY ONE WHO WANTS TO TRADE HENRY AT THIS POINT IS ON DRUGS!!!!!!!!!!!
