ESPNews reports the Baltimore Ravens are working with the Buffalo Bills on a trade to acquire Bills RB Willis McGahee.
 
Several Ravens fans on the scout.com message boards are saying Sirius is reporting the trade is a done deal and the Ravens will send the Bills their 2nd round pick this year and next year's 6th round pick.

Thats it? Sounds cheap for a guy of his caliber.

Couldn't pull that one off in Madden.
 
If the rumors are true that this is a done deal for a 2nd this year and a 6th this year, the Bills got out of this one with a pretty good deal. The Bears traded Thomas Jones for a 3rd and kind of set the market up, but McGahee does have more value than Thomas. I just surprised the Ravens gave it up so early. They knew what they wanted.

I still don't get Buffalo's whole reason behind trading McGahee unless there are personal issues are he made someone mad in the front office. They invest a 1st round pick plus a year to recover from injury for him and end up getting a 2nd, 6th, and Chris Brown. I don't understand that reasoning, but oh well, thats why I'm not a GM.
 
I wonder if the Bills are going to make a run at Adrian Peterson now.

I think the Ravens will go into the season as one of the favorites to win it all.

Had insane talent. The knee injury in the BCS game robbed NFL fans of seeing what McGahee could have been. Willis is just a 4.0 ypc plodder, now.

not true. he still has ridiculous breakaway speed for a man his size. not quite the freakish freak as he was at The U, agility-wise, but still.

I Remember telling people that Mcgahee was what made that UM team go but NOOOOOOOOOOOO they were all ken Dorsey this, that, basically watching too much ESPN. it's nice to know that i'm right sometimes.
 
what made that UM team go was the ridiculous amount of talent at every single position. mcgahee was a fullback when they won the national championship, so it wasn't him. clinton portis and frank gore shared the pill that year. mcgahee didn't even get a shot till gore tore his knee up.

I'm talking about the year he tore his knee up, You know when they were still killing everything in sight & Portis was gone & gore still hurt. but you're right as far as the talent goes though, that was just sick.
 
Hours after the trade was announced Thursday afternoon, ESPN.com learned McGahee will sign a new seven-year contract with Baltimore, the last two seasons of which are options years, that can be worth a total of $40.12 million. In terms of so-called "new money," the contract places McGahee among the NFL's five highest-paid running backs.

McGaheewill receive an initial signing bonus of $7.5 million and subsequent option bonuses of $6 million after the 2007 season and $1.5 million following the 2008 season, for a total of $15 million. The basesalaries are $595,000 (2007), $605,000 ('08), $620,000 ('09), $3.6million ('10), $6 million ('11), $6.5 million ('12) and $7.2 million('13).

Even without the option years at the end of the contract, the deal is worth $26.42 million over five years.
