"By all accounts, Gaither played like a quality starting left tackle last year. That's why it's surprising Baltimore seems so open to moving him."

I would be all for this, too bad the packers do not posses a high 2nd. Trade back and snag an extra pick + Gaither? I would be very happy with that.

Me too. Plus the dude's only 24. I wouldn't put it past Ted Thompson to surprise everyone with a move here. Ha ha, sorry about the link.

Honestly, i would mind seeing a move here with the #23 pick for Gaither either, proven starting quality Left Tackles do not grow on trees, he's a young guy so he should have some potential as well. Tho i do seem to remember CMIII making him look like a turnstyle.

Ozzie Newsome is one of the best GMs in the league.

The Ravens drafted Oher to man the LT spot while they already had Gaither.

Apparently, no one has contacted the Ravens about getting him for less than a 1st.

You have to think that there's something wrong. His play was worth a late 1st. He wasn't exactly great, but he's pretty good. There must be something going on.

I would like if Ted Thompson gave our 23rd in exchange for Gaither.

This is a placeholder

I was thinking the same thing, Having two good young tackles is a goldmine found in the trenches...

Maybe they have seen something in his play that leads Baltimore to believe that he can be figured out and beat?

Character issues?

Smells like crab?

Gotta be the crab, can't figure this one out at all. Even if we take a LT at 23, chances are he wont start this year and it's anyones guess if he will workout in the future. Atleast with Gaither you know what your getting with a guy thats been out there at this level and preformed.
Best case scenario i'd like to see us trade back into a top 10 second round pick and a third. Trade the best 2nd for gaither, then we have our LT spot solved, and 3 day 1 picks for the BPA at OLB S and DB.

Anyone think he could be asking rediculous money for his next contract or something?

We are born naked, wet and hungry. Then things get worse.

May 2009 article

Gaither appears to be preparing on the business side to have a strong season as he enters the final year of his rookie contract. He recently hired Drew Rosenhaus as his agent and could be looking for a long-term deal.

PFF offensive tackle rankings have him as the 3rd/4th (debatable) best left tackle in the NFL for the 2009 season. (as an example) link

Ya think Drew noticed?

+ I don't think they like Drew in Baltimore <- link has more than that-read it!

I talked to [Gaithers agent] Drew Rosenhaus and he tells me hes getting Jared in shape. The last time I checked Drew Rosenhaus doesnt coach the offensive line in the National Football League.

He is at Baltimore's off-season workouts, btw

$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Flunked out of MD after attending prep school to get in. (something like that)

Huge--- ZBS?

?Work ethic? Questioned a lot about that.

Ran out of gas at his (pro day?) Also low reps in bench, like 11,12,13---I forget the exact number-- way back when, plus a 5th rd supplemental (GM's pride?)

Read tweets...seems dumber than dirt, imo..but I'm an asshole that way.

(Still want him for a 2nd, lol)

Very solid in 2008 also.

I echo that sediment Foster... it is about Benjamin's at this point.

Even with the CBA debate.. it doesn't change that teams have x amount of dollars for a budget.. and with financial drains like Rice, Flacco, Boldin, Suggs, Lewis, and Reed on the roster.. something has to give.. with Oher on the roster, not to mention 2 more established tackles and a bunch of combo guards.. it allows them some flexibility in this regard.

BTW... Foster.. welcome back.. 😉

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent
