Eagles a possible landing spot for Derrick Johnson?
Not saying theres a rumor but it appears the Eagles have a need for a 4-3 backer with Gaither out now and have an expendable WR as trade bait. Might be a good fit. That and Reid is looking...

Hold out for a good pick
I think DJ could go to a number of different teams but seems the Eagles, Bears and Lions are the most obvious . . . And of course, never rule out the Patriots! That all being said, DJ is a great value trade. He is in the last year of his contract (cheap) and hasn’t done enough to garner the “big” payday. Someone could get him to sign an extension relatively cheap and have a solid player for years with minimal investment.

Kevin Curtis would be interesting trade bait I think.
A guy that can stretch the field, has good hands and can produce. He’s only been shuffled out of the mix because they have two stars on the rise.

Kevin Curtis can't stay healthy i heard...
I wouldn’t take the risk.
by worc on Oct 19, 2009 2:22 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
You are right.
Curtis only started a full 16 games. At least DJ can stay healthy and produce rather than a guy that can produce maybe 1 game and be hurt the rest. Plus hes 31 already, not a good trade at all.

Unless we get D. Jackson for DJ, I do not see a player on that team that I would want to give up DJ for.

I would be down with that
But would the Eagles be willing to part with a high draft pick that quickly (wasn’t he 1st)?

absolutely true...
and he may have more potential than we know about…could be a belichek steal…..

I think at this point we have paid DJ enough based on potential. Let someone else see if they can bring more out of him.

I hope the Pats take him.
He has a huge amount of potenial and maybe only they can bring it out of DJ. Lets get a 2nd for him….because we are not gonna have a Randy Moss pulled on us.

Glad to see more than 1 playoff team with a LB need.
Drives the price up.
I remember Dawson to Taylor, Kenney to Carson, and Blackledge catching the snap in his facemask. Seen it all...

They're definitely in the market
Personally, I’d rather have Reggie Brown than Kevin Curtis but wouldn’t be surprised if I’m alone on that one

Yes he played in a couple of series and didn't look to bad.
Yeah, let's just keep matriculatin' the ball down the field, boys! ...
by oldchiefsfan on Oct 19, 2009 1:23 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yes he did.
Here is a quote from Gretz:
The Chiefs used two different nickel defenses in this game. First, CB Mike Richardson played his first game in a red and gold uniform and he was the nickel back. On large yardage situations where it seemed there was a chance the Redskins would run, ILBs Derrick Johnson and Jovan Belcher would come in. On situations where the tendency would be pass that’s when Belcher would come in, but McGraw would move from safety to a linebacker spot and S DaJuan Morgan came in and played.
McGraw, Johnson and Morgan got their most extensive playing time of the season. Based on how the game went down, with the defense not allowing a touchdown, it may be a formula we see again next Sunday against San Diego.
Here is the link to the complete article.

i just looked up his stats for this year and he got half his tackles in this last game so whatever they had him doing had to work out for him
Id say right now keep everyone we have unless they wanna try and get something out of him before he leaves next offseason

DJ kicked ass in this game.
He had a huge play on 3rd down, i believe. He came up on a screen pass i think and look like he power doubled the guy into the ground. It was a nice hit. Hopefully i see more of that D because it looked like Washington was surprised. I like Seeing McGraw at LB..he has speed and can tackle. It just leaves our S position open a little bit.

I could see that….we could certainly use the help at receiver…we need someone tough…

If we're trading DJ, trade for Avant and a 5th rounder.
If DJ to the Eagles trade were to go down. The only WR worth trading for is Avant. He’s younger and stronger and IMO better then Brown and Curtis. He’s a defensive minded guy that plays offense. He seems like a Pioli/Haley guy for sure.
If not trade DJ to the highest bidder. A high 2nd or low 3rd if you can get it.

The thing about DJ
is I can just tell he’s gonna be the type of player that will excel in another organization. A lot of Carl’s 1st round picks had it kush and easy and never been forced to prove themselves. Now that a new sheriff is in town and forcing DJ to prove himself, he’s not buying into it. In fact, I think he wants out and is looking for the new opportunity and fresh start elsewhere

DJ is gathering dust on the bench though and is actually a player with some value...
based on his skills, untapped potential and the fact that there is a need in the NFL now for a good 4-3 backer to fill a hole.

We'll be sitting fat next year
With our record from this season, we’ll easily be another Top 5 pick. That means our second rounder will virtually be picking up 1st round scraps and the TG draft pick will net us another solid building block. If we take Berry from Tennessee #1 overall things could get ridiculous quickly in KC

Berry and a good pass rushing LB to compliment Hali and I think we’d have a very stout defense, assuming the DL continues to get better.

+1 I think out D line is solid at this point and if you wanted to find someone to impact it then take a flyer on a guy in a later round, ala Jared Allen.

I sense sarcasim....
…. obviously Allen was a find but there are very capable pass rushers to be had in later rounds, I don’t think they have to be an “elite” 1st round player. With the line being so solid I think we could find a guy who’s sole responsibility is to sack the QB.

If there is a trade of DJ
we should ask for a draft choice and the player that the other team will cut to make room for him. Never know what we may pick up.

Id be happy with a 2nd or 3rd...
especially in next years draft where the second round has the potential to have as much talent as this years first round. Be interesting if Pioli can stockpile alot of early picks to see where this team is headed.

Why?
Why trade for a 2nd round pick? The only reason I would trade DJ for a second is so we can trade a 2nd pick and someone else for a 1st. DJ is better then a gamble on a college kid.
by SwimCoach on Oct 19, 2009 2:33 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Because we need interior linemen and the 2nd round is where you find them....
….We have 2 picks in the 2nd already, another 2nd would probably give us 2 linemen and a LB or WR, sounds like a nice 2nd round to me. Or we could bundle them up and grab a target from the 1st. DJ is huggin’ pine right now and lovin’ every minute of it, might as well trade him.

I like DJ... but I don't care if he plays or not
as long as a LB makes plays, and the defense looks as good (or better) as it did on Sunday…
I don’t care if that LB is Williams or DJ… or someone else.
So, if they get GREAT value… trade him.
IF not… keep him.
either way, I don’t mind.

but… I’m not just talkin about THIS game…
Williams has been steady, DJ has made plays in limited action.
and, I believe, the defense is much better than the numbers indicate… or at least it’s on the way to being much better

Why
Are we so interested in getting rid of our best player. No DJ hasn’t been a ray lewis LB, but he is good. We need to stop this nonsense of trying to ship him off.
by antwan1977 on Oct 19, 2009 3:17 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I have to agree...
He may be riding the pine but, every time he comes off the bench he makes a big play. Yesterday he stuffed Portis behind the line. The int vs Baltimore and don’t forget the HUGE sack on Russell in wk 2. We don’t exactly have LBs to spare.
The only way I would trade DJ would be for a 2nd rd pick and I don’t know if we will get that good of a pick for him. if we do…See ya! If we don’t, he needs to see a little more playing time to keep his value up and make some big plays for us.

by Helmets on Oct 19, 2009 3:59 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
well, he may not have a choice
he’ll be a Restricted FA, which means the Chiefs could either match any offers he got, or get a draft pick in return?
correct me if I’m wrong…
but, DJ doesn’t really hold all the cards in this poker game
