Dirty#30 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Didn't notice if this was posted... http://blogs.nfl.com/2009/03/02/roundup-cromartie-could-be-on-the-trading-block/ Antonio Cromartie was one of the most celebrated cornerbacks in 2007. He was coming off his first (of what many believed was soon-to-be many) Pro Bowl appearances and was a troublesome thorn in Peyton Manning’s side with four interceptions against him in just one season. Cromartie had eyes on breaking Dick “Night Train” Lane’s single season record of 14 interceptions. He finished with two and was hampered by a hip injury in 2008. Now the San Diego Union-Tribune is reporting that Cromartie could be on the trade block. And for added irony, he could be replaced by Drayton Florence — the guy who Cromartie replaced. Florence signed with the Jaguars last season, but was recently released. The UT is reporting that the two sides are currently talking. I liked the guy, thought he was considered one of the best in the league. at least in the top 10. What do you guys think..."IF"...there is any validity to this story.

terpskins10 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Cromartie is a safety is'nt he? No, he's a CB. And to the OP, I just don't think we have the ammo nor the need to do it. Just because he may be an upgrade over what we have doesn't mean we need him. We have one of the better young secondaries in the NFL and we could use the draft pick that would go to the Chargers for him to upgrade other positions of need. IMO, it'd be akin to drafting three wideouts in the top ten three years in a row. Good work, Millen. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty#30 Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Corner, but Drayton signed with the Bills. I like Carlos...Jury is still out on Dante and Smooty is my dude but only in Nickle situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrifNick21 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Corner, but Drayden signed with the Bills. I like Carlos...Jury is still out on Dante and Smooty is my dude but only in Nickle situations. Who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIXX99 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 We don't need him. He is pretty good, but we don't need him. Maybe next year if we don't re-sign Carlos Rogers we might look into trading for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikie Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Cromartie is a safety is'nt he? he's a CB and if they are willing to trade him in the 3rd season of a 5 year contract, I'd have my radar way the f' up... there's got to be a "red flaggy" reason why they'd want to get rid of this guy... young, all the talent in the world and you are looking to trade him? something with his injury or attitude but I'd see this as "buyer beware"... you don't trade seemingly franchise CB's like this... story has got to be bs...

AKM311 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 If we are not going to re-sign Rogers and we know this, then you can package him in a deal for him. But what really are we gaining than another new face that doesn't know our system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskns21 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 The kid can play. I believe that he was on the Redskins' radar when coming out of FSU, but he was selected a bit early, especially coming off the injury he had in college and his general lack of experience. I would love to add this type of ballhawking DB, but it's a luxury I don't know that we can afford. Let's hope that Hall can become what he was growing into in Atlanta before the whole Petrino and subsequent Oakland mess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[ghost]] Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Cromartie is a fantastic corner. I wanted him the year he was drafted, but the Chargers pulled a fast one. He's the only corner I would trade Rogers for. Despite that, I still don't want to trade Rogers, even if it brings us Cromartie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty Gut Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I think... we already have corners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoleSkin21 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 If we could land him by trading Carlos straight up, then sure!!! I'm not breaking the bank to get him though. He is electric with the ball in his hands, and a good cover man. His head got too big last year that is why he had an off year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFromYellowstone Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Cromartie got BURNED this year. I don't know if it was injuries or something else, but he didn't play very well this season. I'd rather keep who we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmac#5 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I hate the Cromartie hype. Yes 2 years ago he was a pro bowler because he got INT's just like Walt Harris did in San Fran but last year Cromartie was the worst corner on the Chargers roster. Taking chances and getting INT's doesn't make up for terrible technique and discipline. I wouldn't trade Smoot for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxpunk2006 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I hate the Cromartie hype.

Taking chances and getting INT's doesn't make up for terrible technique and discipline. I wouldn't trade Smoot for him. While I probably would trade Smoot for him, I have to agree that INT totals don't make a good CB. A lot of the guys with big INT numbers are because they take chances breaking on a ball. These sorts of chances usually result in a) INT or Big gain/touchdown. A) is great if your offense can take advantage or the CB can get 6 himself, but can really get you into trouble. Cromartie has some of the best ball skills of any CB in the league, but I wouldn't say he is among the best CB's in the league as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter_R Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I wouldn't trade Smoot for him. Smoot was one of the worst cornerbacks in the league last year. I'd trade him for just about any cb, let alone Cromartie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicious Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Smoot was the worst corner in the league because no one could get it past the other corners on our team, it's like saying Dante Hall was atrocious (stat wise he was) but look who the other corner was.. When you are poised with the question as a QB, to chuck it at Carlos Rogers or Smoot.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
