Todd McShay: Henry/Shelton Deal Will Happen in the Next Few Days

[bills_phan]

From an ESPN.com Insider chat with Todd McShay:


Mike (Tuscon, AZ): What will Arizona do now that Kurt Warner has come -- RB?

Todd McShay: I'm hearing that the Cardinals will get a trade down with the Bills in the next few days. The Cards will send Shelton and their second round pick (44) to Buffalo in exchange for RB Travis Henry and their second round pick (55). If that's the case, cornerback will be the Cardinals top priority. It will likely be either Antrel Rolle or Pac-Man Jones.


I'm not sure how reliable McShay's information is. Is Denny gonna fold and swap seconds? We'll see...

Who is Todd McSchay?

1. Who's Todd McShay? (Oops, Mulli88 snuck in before me - great minds think alike)

2. This isn't the same thing as John Clayton or Pasquarelli relaying information. This is some ESPN dude named McShay answering a question on a chat board?

3. I make the odds 50-50 that McShay is working on 3-week old information. (Hey! There are 32 teams he's got to keep up with. You can't expect him to have the most up-to-date info). Unless, of course, he does.

If we landed Travis Henry, Kurt Warner, Chike, and Derrick Johnson in one off season, why I'd..........I'd.........





Kiss Tango and NEM's butt at halftime of the Mexico City game!


I just felt a tingle, gotta go.

 

[bills_phan]

Easy, fellas...don't shoot the messenger. I'm just posting some new info from ESPN Insider. They've proved somewhat unreliable in the past, so take it for what it's worth. Nobody knows whether this guy's got some inside info or is just repeating what's been speculated in the media.

Who is Todd McSchay?

Works for the War Room and Scouts Inc.

 

[Mulli]

I just heard from someone familiar with the organization that this trade will happen in 3-4 hours.


edit - No truth to this. this was a lame attempt at a joke.

Is this a joke or are you serious?

 

[Redsz]

You can never tell with Mulli. I don't think he even knows if he's being serious.

And whats up with every Bills fan on this board having a McGahee avatar? Is it a uniformity thing?

 

[Redsz]

Also we heard from John Clayton a few days ago that the trade would happen. Except that no picks where involved.

So god knows whats going on...

If McGahee played in the desert, you'd have #21 as your avatar, too!

 

[seesred]

Well I guess there is no need for anymore info. The trade will happen ?????
The Bills will get our two number threes and get our number 44 along with Warner. WE get Henry for one year and season tickets in the upper deck, plus a years worth of new rumors to work with.

In Green we trust.

I would say No, No to trading picks.

LOL. You're right. I proburbly would!

We stick together

 

[Mulli]

I hope ID didn't cause alarm. I posted that with very little mornign coffee in me. I thought that the "source familiar with organization" (me) and "3-4 hours" (E. Hartwell rumor reference) were enough to show I was making it up.

I was making it up. Seems to make much more sense that this deal will take place during the draft.

Why in the HELL would the Cards trade picks with the Bills?

In order to get Travis Henry - haven't you been paying attention?

The whole thing is that neither set of fans wants to see their team get fleeced in this deal. Each thinks their team has the upper hand, etc... Whatever. The terms will be the terms and that's that. If AZ decides swaps picks, they swap picks - it's not necessarily a horrible thing for you guys if it happens that way. Henry's a quality back and that's what you fans are probably better off concentrating on. It should end up being a win/win trade either way.

I seriously doubt the cards will switch 2nd round picks especially after they already switched thirds with New England. This will probably end up being a straight up player for player or no deal at all.

 

[Trey]

The Cardinals did not swap third round picks with New England. They traded Starks for New England's third rounder, #95 overall I think.

Are you Denny Green?

 

[Russ Smith]

Are you Denny Green?

No but that's what we've been hearing both from Green and from "sources" for a week now, that Green won't swap picks. Still could happen of course but he's said he won't.

That's the only thing that gives me pause. Everything seems to point to the swap of players and 2nd round picks, but Denny Green came right out and said that draft picks were not an option. Who knows, maybe he'll justify it by saying that they did not actually give up a pick, but instead swapped. Maybe there will be no swap, we'll see...

No but he did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!!
