What would you do if we traded and got Volek and Thomas Jones?

Trade Ramsey for Volek and McCareins for Thomas Jones.

Volek can play. But it is now so late, he'd sit until mid-season. I'd rather get CLEMENS ready! JONES is not a big improvement over JMAC. Besides IF a QB can not get the ball to a WR deep with accuracy, what is the difference?

I thought Thomas Jones was a running back...?

And this is moot, I doubt the FO would make these moves. We took Ramsey and Barlow, for better or for worse, and unloading them now in favor of Volek and Jones would cost us some picks--which I doubt Tangini is willing to part with.

so trade a QB that should be released for a starter....and then trade an overpaid 4th WR for a starting RB?

makes a lot of sense.....

I'd laugh at the Titans and Bears' stupidity.

DUMP

Volek sucks (30 yrs old, 2-8 as a starter) and Thomas Jones is not getting traded.

why does Tenn. want Ramsey instead of Volek? Bears are not trading their starting runningback.

Let's trade McCarreins for Peyton Manning.

We really need. . .

A NT, or a real TE, or a better WR, or real FB. We don't need another QB or RB. We could have used Jones over Barlow.

Jumbo, what Fantasy Football league do you play, would love to join it.....

T. Jones is better than any back we have, and the best on the Bears...even the Bears players know it...current reports, whether true or not, are the team is behind Jones and not prima donna Benson. If true, there is no way the Bears would trade him...especially for McCariens (who, I believe we should keep for WR depth...he is better than many out there today imo - he just has to get it together!).

Also, Ramsey is not a chow QB, the whole reason BV is on the block....I guess.

Again, glad to think in Fantasy terms though....

Go JETS!

Yes!!! But i think we should wait until a few more weeks. Time to stop the wish list silliness. It's over. Let's get a fatboy for the middle and play the game and let the cards lay where they lie.

I don't like either deal, since my sources tell me Ramsey and McCairens are being packaged to the raiders for Randy Moss
