    Re: Would You Trade Troy ...

    Most teams dont even like having that high of a pick because of the amount of money it costs the team for an unproven player.

    Never trade a proven player for a draft pick, no matter how high of a pick...that may be the reason you never see it happen.

      Jom, the only Troy we would trade to the bengals for their first rounder would be Troy Edwards

      Wow, I thought for sure someone would have used the "What, have some rookie sit on the bench for 2 years learning our overly complicated defense" argument.

      I really think the decision comes down to how healthy you think Troy will be for the next 4 or 5 years. He has missed games 3 out of the last 4 years.

      2006 - missed 3 games
      2007 - missed 5 games
      2008 - missed 0 games
      2009 - missed 11 games

      The flip side of the coin is how can you get rid of the most versatile, disruptive and unique defensive player in the entire league?

      My answer, like the vast majority would be NO but I am a bit surprised that no was the overwhelming answer.
      As many on this site think ... The Rooney's suck, Colbert sucks, Tomlin sucks, the coaches suck, and the players suck.

      but Go Steelers!!!

        I would trade Troy ONLY for the #1 pick, because then it would guarantee dibbs on Ndomakong Suh. He's the only guy in the draft this year, IMO, who is worth Troy.

          Everyone is available for trade at any time but the price for Troy is simply too steep, esp considering his injury history. Troy will never be traded.

                  Is that box big enough to hold Vida Guerra? If it is, then I'll take my chances.

                              No.

                              You can make a case for Troy being the best player in the NFL. He'll be healthy and we'll win the next 2 SuperBowls.

                              You don't trade the best player in the game for an unknown.

                                It would never happen. Mike Brown is too cheap to pay for the inevitable Roto Rooter bill to unclog the shower drains caused by having Domata Peko, Rey Maualuga, Jonathan Fanene, and Troy Polamalu on the same team. :P
                                This is very funny. It is also a little disturbing that you are thinking or such scenarios.
                                Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.
