Just out of curiosity...

would it be worth trading for Orlando Pace considering we need o-line help?



Don't be shocked if Orlando Pace is playing somewhere other than St. Louis next season.

Considered one of the game's premier left tackles, Pace was given the franchise tag by the Rams for the third straight year. A trade is a possibility because several teams would be willing to pay dearly for a player of Pace's ability. Pace did not play up to his standards in 2004, particularly on running plays.

With or without Pace, the Rams figure to select an offensive lineman in the early rounds of the draft.

well, he's getting ready for his 10th year, he's one of the best in the business (which means he's gonna cost our #1, a #3, and probably a player), and his agents (IIRC, he's still repped by the Postons) are probably still pushing for a $100 mil contract.

No way on earth we should do that. Too many draft picks and too much money. If he could be had for something more reasonable then it would be great but no way I give up all that and give him that much.

10th year + Postons + having to trade for him = I'll pass.

No way, he is a circus act every off-season with the hold out talk. Plus if he came here he would probably just end up being another Sean Gilbert...

I was just curious. I just wanted to throw it out there just as a change from talking about Moose and the re-signing of Smart & others. Just a different topic of conversation.

and it was appreciated. It just doesn't work for us. IMO, franchise tackles are more of a "we don't have much else to go get" acquisition than a deal we make when we have cap issues and holes all over the place.
