I'll try that on Madden

I suggest focusing on the travesty that is MLB for the fantasy trade fanboys here. A Mankins trade (problematical in the least because of 'minor' details like no signed tender and the $$$ contract he demands) for an OLB worth having simply aint...gonna...happen.

I like Lawson, but the 9ers have little depth behind him with Ahmad Brooks out, so I'm guessing we'd have to overpay to get him. And he's only gone over 3 sacks once in his career. That's not the sign of a pass-rusher that would solve our problems

Ray Edwards wants to be paid probably more than what we offered Mankins. He held out up until the last minute before signing his tender. And he only got a first-round tender, but no bites. That should say a lot about thoughts that he's an elite pass-rusher like he thinks he is.

Let's ship him to the Raiders for Thomas howard and Darren Mcfadden maybe he can spring his career back wearing the flying elvis and takings hand offs from the greatest qb of all time. Hell Brian hoyer is better than Jason Campbell. What say you?

Thomas Howard would play the same position as Mayo

And you know this for a fact Cousin? Sign and Trade is the key and we all understand that. Fantasy football is B.S. anyway. You got to go with facts. Fact:
Lawson and Mankins want more $.

Mankins lambasted Team owner and Coach.

Guards are more replaceable than pass rushing OLB (even All Pro).

Lawson at 6"5" is a-typical although a little light for a BB OLB, plus he might be a better coverage LB than any on our roster.

He is a former first rounder, young and coming into his own

Plus a third rounder added would be nice (according to their "fantasy" as some call it, football needs in SF not mine).

Let's all agree he is a step up from Burgess, Murrell, and the injured Cunningham.

The theme of this Cousins thread was "What pass rusher can we trade Mankins for?" The response of possible partners or deals(feasible) is always open to conjecture but the responses can still be reasonable. Call it Fantasy football or Madden if you like, but that was not the spirit of this Cousins post.

This is for entertainment and it does not affect anyone's life or livelihood on this site one would hope.

I said this on draft day a few years ago and I will say it again. Mayo is JAG. He makes zero plays.

BB has created this massive problem by failing to draft and develop any OLB's over the past decade. Anybody we trade for now is like putting a band aid on a severed limb.

However for the sake of argument, I would call our old buddy Al Davis and try to steal Quinten Groves from him. (Say for James Sanders) He would need a year in our system to be deprogrammed and taught proper technique, but at least it is a step in the right direction.

letekro

haha. I wonder how many lopsided trade scenarios J. Sanders has been mentioned in over the years...

Quentin Groves for James Sanders? LO-freakin-L.

Mankins to the Vikings for Ray Edwards? This assures them that Favre is behind the best line money can buy.
Mankins to Dallas for Anthony Spencer love that guy.
Mankins to the niners for Lawson?
Mankins to the you fill in the blank.
