Hate to see this, I like TH. Good luck to him.

 

[Jersey Girl]

Wow.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

We get back a conditional late round pick and DE Vonnie Holliday!

Good for him! A place where he xan get time. Does that mean we get Holliday?



Good call Joe!

 

[Treefiddy]

Meh about this, but this can only mean more carries for Beanie who should've been getting them already.

BTW, this is a 5th round pick by the Cards that they converted into another draft pick and a player. Hopefully one of those two will do something for us.

Is Holiday any good?

Good Luck Timmy and thanks for some outstanding memories.

We get a pick and Holliday. Let's hear it folks in the know, what's the scoop on Holliday.

 

[Shane]

Vonnie is kind of old.

 

[earthsci]

Good luck Tim!!!...except when you play us.

 

[Jersey Girl]

Waiting for Shane's head to explode in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

And there it is, Beanie stays, he and Williams are gonna be nice. Probably means our new fullback will see some time, blocking and such. Later Timmy, good luck and hold on to your dreams!

Good call Joe!

He immediately is their best back.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Bye Bye Timmy.

Is Vonnie Holliday worth it??? Now that Redskins game becomes more fun for me.

 

[joeshmo]

Good call Joe!

I wasn't going to say anything but....

 

[Buckybird]

IMO that was a bad deal. Holliday is what 86? THT is still a productive RB who has broken some long runs despite the fumbles. #34 was more than a solid player!!!

 

[Shane]

He immediately is their best back.

Gotta agree with that!

Well I'm going to guess we're out of the Lawson hunt.

Maybe this is why Timmy took awhile. They gave him the option to sign elsewhere and get a similar pick. My guess this has been a 'deal' contingent on TH for a while.

Sad to see him go. Probably wouldn't of re-signed next year, and we get something for him.

Hopefully it's a 4th or 5th. Probably a 7th, that can become a 6th, or 6th to 5th.

Guess Williams and Beanie are going to be the guys. Hey beanie, don't fumble.

Guess Graves wasn't disappointed that Holliday I think screwed us a few years back.

Have no clue how Holliday has been the last year or how much he has left. You never know. Might just be a camp body.

This.

 

[Renz]

Vonnie is kind of old.

Yeah, I wanted him about 6 years ago.

Looking at Vonnie Holliday's stats, it looks like he will be a very nice vet depth pickup to replace Alan Branch.

 

[azsportsfan01]

Gotta agree with that!

Ryan Torain is still there.

Bye Bye Timmy.

He's an over-the-hill DE. Not a very good trade.

Lawson and Holliday play completely different positions. Holliday will play end in a 3-4, Manny is a 3-4 OLB.
