Califan007 The Constipated Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/10/16/eddie-royal-is-available-too/ Brandon Lloyd isn’t the only Broncos receiver available via trade. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that receiver Eddie Royal can be had, too. (We heard talk of that last night, but we didn’t post it so Schefty gets full credit. If anyone cares. And no one really does.)Schefter explains that both players have asked to be traded. Since both players are in the final year of their respective contracts, it makes sense to try to make a move. Royal reportedly is generating as much interest as Lloyd. We reported last night that the Rams could be making a play for Lloyd. Chris Mortensen of ESPN confirms that the Rams are in play. Mort also says the Pats are interested, which is hardly good news for Chad Ochocino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostofSparta Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Grossman for Royal and their 1st next year. Hell, I'd even be up for taking Orton from them if they threw in a 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad4comp Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 That's my boy from VT, bring him in and let Brandon Banks go. Opens up a free spot on our roster and gives us a pretty good WR & PR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirClintonPortis Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 We all know that John Fox can't handle too many good receivers. Demaryius Thomas is going to be the only #1 with a bunch of other scrub WRs while they have a game manager QB and run, run, run every week.

Area51 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 This is a guy we should seriously look at. The guy looked real good in his rookie year under Shanahan, but hasn’t been as productive since. Also only 25, from Alexandria, and went to VT. http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/11276/eddie-royal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I really don't know what he'd give us that's any different to what we have. And at 5'10, I doubt he'd be much of a factor in the red zone. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at 5'10, I doubt he'd be much of a factor in the red zone.Hail. He'd be an improvement over Stallworth, who played just about every snap with Beck in the 4th quarter. Though he probably won't be worth the price it would take to get him. But for the 5th rounder we acquired from Minnesota for McNabb, I'd do the trade. Could be another Adam Carriker-type reclamation project in a system that better fits his skillset. And any time the Patriots are interested in a player, you should probably take a second look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a down season that's going nowhere fast, they should ALL be getting looks now for me. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail. Definitely agree with this. Unfortunately it doesn't look like Shanahan will count on the young bucks until they're clearly ready, particularly not when we have a chance to make the playoffs/win the division. As frustrating as that may be, Stallworth is this year's Joey Galloway/Roydell Williams. It looks like Moss, Gaffney, Armstrong and Stallworth will all see time before the rest, and Davis is a greater target as well... though I naturally have high hopes that Paul and Austin can force their way into the lineup sooner rather than later With the clock ticking on Moss (32), Gaffney (30), and Stallworth (30), I wouldn't be against the idea of seeing if Eddie Royal can be a part of our wide receiving corps for the next number of years, particularly given that he's only 25 and I believe we have 9 draft picks (5 in the first 4 rounds). ... The way I see it, that 5th rounder could be spend on Eddie Royal, a player who would be almost certain to make the roster next year, or taken on a project player who might make the roster as a backup, depth player. More likely practice squad. And we don't have the type of depleted roster we had last year where we can fit 8, 9 drafted guys onto the team. In theory, though they won't all pan out, adding Eddie Royal gives us 4 wide receivers under the age of 25, a fairly well rounded group -- with Paul and Hankerson the outside-the-numbers receivers, Austin and Royal operating out of the slot. Of course, this will all be moot rather soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullnelson9999 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Do it. Lets make the Redskins Westfield lite. (Evan Royster played football with Royal at Westfield HS.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper 21 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 something like this should and could be done before next week to retain some hope for some crushed fans like us today. losing with such high expectations of superbowls, joking aside, he would be a nice fit and a much better moss replacement then austin. also would be finally ok with the loss of banks or stallworth.

ouvan59 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Oh goody, a munchkin possession receiver. If he is cut fine but unless you are trading him for a player who we are going to cut anyway I say no thanks. I'd much rather see our young guys get the work instead of a Royal.

MariusVT Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I'd take him for a 6th and cut Stallworth. After all that's what they just gave Lloyd away for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkekoa Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I'd definately call them up...With Lloyd only getting a 5th, I'd offer a 7th for Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
