Cardinals | L. Davis on the trade block
Sun, 15 Oct 2006 10:17:42 -0700

Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports Arizona Cardinals OT Leonard Davis is available at the trade deadline. Davis has fallen out of favor with head coach Dennis Green and the team is reportedly asking for "a pick or a player," according to an NFC general manager. The general manager added it appears the team would like to trade him "for pretty much anything, they seemed like they were just trying to unload him."

You can not be serious. Move him to gaurd before you just let him walk or trade him for a crap pick. This is complete B.S. if money is the only issue, you need to pay him! What else are we going to use the cap for. Who cares if he is overpaid, move him to gaurd an then you are paying for a pro-bowl OL. Don't just let him walk when that is the weakest part of the team. How can the cards actually spin this?

Stop me if you've heard this before, but are we ever going to have a top 10 draft pick that we don't lose for near nothing who goes on to play somewhere else and has a pretty good career? I know nothing has happened with LD yet, but I can just feel it. Thomas Jones, Simeon Rice, Garrison Hearst, etc. Ah screw it, I can't do this today. Sorry for

This has to be a joke! You basically have no leverage at all?

Even on a Sunday they don't play, the Cards can ruin my afternoon!

keep in mind we don't actually have a "general manager" so it makes you wonder where Glazer heard this ?

He is quoting his source which is an NFC General Manager.

Wasn't he already tried at right guard when he first came into the league? Apparently it wasn't a resounding success. They figured for all that money he's making, let him earn it at left tackle. Apparently that experiment hasn't gone too well either.

I say unload him. He's obviously been biding his time until his contract is up to get outta dodge city (can you say underachiever?).

LD is not being moved to guard either now or in the future wherever he ends up playing. Why would he voluntarily give up millions this offseason by showcasing himself as a guard instead of a tackle?

Jones wasn't worth much when they traded him. Rice, they had already franchised and I believe based on the kind of production they got out of him in his franchised year that franchising him again wasn't worth it. My guess is nobody would trade for him since they knew the Cards were gonna have to let him go anyway.

Who cares what they get for him? Let's not pretend he has had any impact since he was drafted. Potential is one thing, reality is another. If he was benched there would be little if any difference, except you could probably cross off three or four false starts each week. Time to get real people. You act as if they are shopping Q or Fitz.

Leonard Davis = Ruben Brown

Large men who aren't quick enough for tackle but can dominate at guard

BEERZ · October 15th, 2006, 02:58 PM

sOME PEOPLE JUST DONT GET IT. (Sorry)

As bad as some people think he is. He still is the best Olinemen we have. We need to Improve the line not make moves to downgrade it.

Move him to guard where he belongs. He is 370lbs he just cant keep up with speed guys on the outside. Get him inside durring the bye week and find out his true value before he becomes a freeagent.

BEERZ · October 15th, 2006, 03:00 PM

We took the first step to improving that line by benching Step. Wait till the bye week then swap Davis & Wells positions, and let the line play out.

What if he refuses to move to gaurd ?

For all we know the coaches have been trying to make this move already ?

If he stays at LT his feels he will make more in FA and if we line him up at LG and he is pissed do you think he will put the effort out ? No, he agent will just blame poor lay on the Cardinals for switching him around and for being the Cardinals. Many would believe that as well, I mean the reason he is not a pro bolwer is obviousl the fault of the team.
