I just hope AD doesn't lose this deal to Denver

i just checked Denvers home page .. nothing on it about aquiring C Dillon (typical espn ) BIG AL should not give up a third round pick, sweeten w/ later picks if required

Yep! That's my biggest worry. We need that RB in the backfield. I don't want the ****'n Donkeys to steal him from under our noses. My question to you is, " do you think he's worth a second round pick?"

hell yes - Cory is in no unquestioned terms ONE BAD ASS MOTHER ****ER.

I think Dillon is definatley worth a third round pick. At least with Dillon you know that you are getting a pro bowl calibar player. With a third round rookie you never know what the hell your getting. Make this deal and suddenly our offense begins to take on a very interesting look.

I HATE THE F'N BRONCOS, what do they do in free agency besides screw up what we are trying to do. I would give a second rounder just to keep Denver from getting him. Stupd f'n Shanahan.

We can pick up a RB in the fourth or after June 1st. We don't need his me-first bad attitude.

And no one has yet to explain why he complained last year when he finally had a chance to sniff the playoffs, but chose to bitch.

If someone can come up with a compelling explanation then I would consider changing my opinion. But no one has one as of yet.

And look at all the teams that NEED rb's that have ignored this guy - Dallas, NE, TB, Pitt, etc.....they all have either stayed on the sidelines or got "lesser" backs.

Plus who knows if Dillon will play under his current contract. Does he want a new deal? If so, that is a bigger strike against this deal.

And the Broncos are bluffing. They are still recovering from the Darryl Gardner fiasco. And want no part of this guy..just want to increase the price we pay.......

Cincy needs to do this deal way more than we do...They need the cap room to sign one of the CB's and other FA's.

Cincy is just going to cut Dillon in June anyway......

Very true the bengals are trying to either sigh troy Vincent or Bobby taylor.You are also right about his me first attitude.He is a good back tho but he will not share the carries with anyone i cant stress that enough.

I have my madden 2004 set up with all the changes so far, and I stuck in Dillon just to see how he looked behind our line. I ran J. Fox Off and ran him out of the I and some 2 TE sets against the bucs he ran for over 200 yds.

Lol, Get Him AL!

**jwraider** · #12 (**permalink**) 03-12-2004, 05:10 AM

I know this means we are getting played but...

Sweetening the deal to get Dillion is actually worth it...

Think of it this way:

Would you give up a 2nd instead of a 3rd just so you don't have to face Dillion twice a year in Denver?

You almost gotta make this happen just because of Denver.

Us with Dillion / Wheatley / Fargas

and

Denver with Anderson / Whats his name / Whats his name

Sounds fine to me.

**AceRimRat** · #13 (**permalink**) 03-12-2004, 05:17 AM

I like Dillon; though he undoubtedly has a LEON attitude, the man can flat out run.

The WoWo believers ought to be asking, what's Dillon got that Wheatley doesn't (give or take a few thousand yards rushing) but if you want to run a power game, you gotta have a power back. (And you've got Fargas for the change of pace.)

I'd definitely deal a third if there are no contract issues.

Maybe a second if I could get a pick coming back.

It would be nice if we didn't have to play 6 games this year against Tomlinson/Priest/Dillon.

bigtoe_o · #15 (**permalink**) 03-12-2004, 05:26 AM

We NEED a running back in Norv Turners offense. NEED!!!!!

Dillion is the best option out there. We can not let this slip away.

And I hate the ****ing broncos for sticking thier nose in this thing. Although it will make Al want him even more just to make sure he isn't in a donkey uniform next year.
