Is There Any Merit In Trying To Deal Otah To Philadelphia?

[Ivan The Awesome]

I suggested this a while ago. Otah to the iggles for their 3rd round pick. No one is getting raped here. A third for Otah is fair. But really they are playing Russian roulette. Technically both teams would be.

I can't think of one team that would want Otah as is. If he performs well this season, then yes. But we'll keep him if he did that.

I can think of a lot that would want him....all 31 teams would want him if cut and cheap. Why wouldn't you want a pro bowl caliber tackle when on the field who has no off field or lockerroom issues.

If Carolina was 100% sure they were going to start someone else they should still keep Otah this year. great depth.

I don't think they or any other team would give up too much for him b/c of his injury history, but I wouldn't be upset about it. However, it may be worth it to us if we only got a 5th. But, he is a monster of a man and our run game was beast with him in the lineup.

Eagles give 15th pick, 2nd rd pick, and a 3rd rd pick

Panthers give # 9, Otah, and a 4th.

...it would work in Madden?

Because he's never been to the Pro Bowl, is more broke down than your grandpa's rusty Dodge, and isn't worth the contract his agent will ask for. Now if you can get him on the cheap, sure. But he won't do that.

if philadelphia offers a fifth do you take it?

Yes I'd rather get another pick in the draft then watch him sit out another season. We've tried Otah, it hasn't worked out. It is time to part ways. He has all the talent but can't get on the field for nothing.

No, because if he has a great year and walks, then we'll get a higher compensatory pick. He's a top 10 RT when he's healthy, and if he gets hurt again next season, then the risk was worth the potential reward.

I think people are failing to realize that he was placed on IR last year as a preventative measure. They didn't do it because he was re-injured, they did it to give him the rest of the year to heal so they can keep him long term.

This board has a much dimmer view of Otah than the team does.
