OT: your fantasy NFL trade
So, the NFL trade deadline approacheth, and in lieu of any real action, I think we should make a little fake action. Let's say you can make one trade, get one player, to improve your team. It can be the Lions, it can be anyone. Before we start though, a few rules.
1: No Qb's, it just feels wrong.
2. Player must be on a team with a losing record.
As a Broncos fan, a very happy one, I'd have to go with the big boy, Albert Haynseworth. He's turns the Broncos biggest weakness into a huge strength. I know they've done fine with their current D, but a Nt makes everyone on a 3-4 a lot better. He might not be a true 0 technique Nt, but he can stuff the run and pressure the Qb.

"Let's say you can make one trade, get one player, to improve your team. It can be the Lions..."
The ONE trade or ONE player for the Lions? Makes my head hurt...where would you start? If it's just one player it has to be an individual who can make plays without relying on other players to validate their effectiveness. Jared Allen? Nnamdi Asomugha (yes I had to look up spelling)? Any offensive player relies heavily on other players...
Maybe the Lions can trade for an entire unit? Like the Vikings' OL?

Id have to say Jake Long would look sweet in a Packers jersey ATM. I don't know how many more times I can stand to watch a Cliff Avril type player rack up 5 sacks a game.
I would also take Chris Johnson from the Titans.

I have to agree with you on the Jake Long and Chris Johnson, but for the Lions instead of the Packers.

I wish we could go back before the season and get Brandon Marshall, pay the man, and suddenly our WR corps looks pretty good instead of its current state.

This game is pretty stupid unless you add a third rule:
3. Must be plausible (e.g., no 10-1 for trades, no ricky williams / hershel walker trades, etc.)
Based on that, I'd love to see the Bears trade a first rounder and a defensive starter to the Panthers for Steve Smith.

D. Bowe. That dude is a beast and we could use some offensive firepower.
Oh...and I'd stick him at QB.

TO back to the Eagles for McNabb. Buffalo needs a QB and the Eagles would have Vick and TO two players I despise! That'll teach Eagle fans to boo Santa!

Asomugha to the Lions plz.

Say goodbye to Calvin Johnson or a boatload of draft picks.

Culpepper and a 7th seems about right. In reality I would never pay what it would cost.
