Jeff Otah traded to the Jets

[KendrickPanther]

I think this sends the right message heading into training camp. If Jeff plays well we might get a nice pick. If he doesn't play at all, well it's nice to get him out of our locker.

well...have fun with The Golden Calf of Bristol

Bell ain't garbage.

This is another confusing thing I don't get.

What do people see in Bell? He sucked last year. UDFA or not, it doesn't matter. He was horrible.

[TruCatzFan]

If he goes to NY and plays well I'm gonna be mother FUGGIN IRATE!!!!

Bell ain't garbage.

Bell is a good story. Hopefully he develops.

What we saw in 2011 was garbage RT play from him. But he was an undrafted rookie...so that is to be expected......but let's not pretend like his play shouldn't be a HUGE concern.

[TruCatzFan]

And if the Jets needed a RT so badly we should have gotten a guaranteed 3rd rndr minimum for Otah!

HORRIBLE trade.... Only good IF* he goes down for the season

I guess it does speak highly of the guys we currently have though... I hope our line stays healthy though.

When do we find out what the undisclosed pick is?

He was part of an offensive line on an offense that was 3rd in the league in rushing and lead to cam putting up the amazing rookie stats he had. Given, he might have been the weakest link on our O, but for a rookie I think he played pretty well.

[LinvilleGorge]

I bet we draft an OT in either round 1 or 2 next draft.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least. We'll see how Bell does this year, but regardless, Jordan Gross is no spring chicken.

He was a Panther. Gets a bump

He replaced the hated Otah. Gets another bump.

Cam mitigated how bad things could of been b/c of his play. Gets a 3rd bump.

But yeah, he was awful if you didn't do the above.

[TylerVagyler]

Think about it this way....we basically traded Otah for Murphy.

[LinvilleGorge]

LOL!

We don't even know the terms of the trade and what the conditional pick is, yet we have at least one poster declaring it a horrible trade.

You can't make that poo up. :lol:

Jeff Notah

[Jackofalltrades]

Otah was far from a bust, I don't think injuries buy you that title. He was a monster on the field, just didn't work out.
