As the NFL world turns
Today again marked another fun filled day of sorting through rumors. The Houston Texans shot down a trade rumor. While the another one involving the Detroit Lions and Atlanta Falcons has popped up. What to believe, and what not to believe?
It is simple just refer to a saying by Stone Cold Steve Austin. DTA don’t trust anybody. The fact is that it is all just rumor. Until Roger Goodell announces that a trade is made nothing is final. Another team can swoop in at the last minute and blow the old deal away.
So, what do you believe. Well you can believe in the trade rumours. They are usually proposals between two teams. Two teams that usually talk for a while, but then talks break down. All you can do is keep tabs on them, and use your own judgement.
I can tell you this. A team is going to trade up to get Calvin Johnson. Most likely the team trading down is the Lions. They do not want to have to draft another wide receiver. They have other needs to be addressed, and trading down could help them.
Unfortunately, for the Buffalo Bills the biggest need is linebacker, with running back shortly behind. With news coming out that Adrian Peterson rehurt his collar bone taking him early will be a risky pick. The best thing they can do is sit wait, and if their guy is not there then trade down.
Well it is still only thursday, so expect more rumors to flying around tommorrow. You see what makes it fun is that it is like you and I competeting in a fantasy draft and making up silly trades. So, strap on your seat belt folks it is going to be a bumby ride tomorrow.
