August 21, 200421 yr Ogunleye for Marty Booker and a 3rd rounder. Contingent on Ogun getting a deal done with the Bears by 7 ET tonight---which could be the deal breaker. Dolphins | Ogunleye for Booker Deal Pending - from www.KFFL.com Sat, 21 Aug 2004 12:06:00 -0700 Jay Glazer, of FOX Sports Net, reports the Miami Dolphins have agreed to trade DE Adewale Ogunleye to the Chicago Bears for WR Marty Booker and a third-round draft choice in 2005. The deal, however, is dependent upon the Bears working out a contract agreement with Ogunleye by 7 p.m. ET Saturday, Aug. 21. If a deal cannot be reached, the trade will not be complete.
August 21, 200421 yr Dolphins don't have much choice with this one. Ogun is holding out anyway so let him go and get something back while you can. I'd push for a second rounder though - Ogun just hit his prime.
August 21, 200421 yr Author Well, my guess is they pushed for a 3rd. 2nd might be asking too much, but I'm sure they've tried. Anyway, it's the Bears, it should be a good 3rd. 70th pick or so.
August 21, 200421 yr Boston (when he returns) Chambers and Booker is one awesome trio. I hope Wanny opens up the offense more now making it a more air attack than run attack now with the acquisitons of WR's. Now all we need is a QB that can throw the ball accurately. Feely?? :confused
August 21, 200421 yr Well.. 1 hour 30 minutes till 7 Thats the time for Ogunleye and Bears to hack a deal
August 21, 200421 yr From the sounds of it: Drew (OGun's agent) isn't going to make this happen since the bears are offering "chunk change"
August 21, 200421 yr If Adewale doesn't sign with the Bears I will eat him. ....? :shifty 521021[/snapback] *Grabs fork*
August 21, 200421 yr its been changed to 8:30 521077[/snapback] That's releiving. I want that damn holdout outta here.
August 21, 200421 yr I rather him stay :plain 521088[/snapback] He'll sit out if he stays, the dolphins are too smart to pay him. I kinda think the great defensive ends on the team are the product of the system. The dolphins can develop another player like Otis Grigsby into a starter.
August 21, 200421 yr Dolphins, Bears agree to swap Pro Bowl players Story Tools: Print Email Jay Glazer / FOXSports.com Posted: 1 hour ago The Miami Dolphins and Bears have agreed to trade involving a pair of Pro Bowl players. Photo gallery Friday's NFL pics FOXSports.com has learned that the Dolphins have agreed to a trade of holdout defensive end Adewale Ogunleye for Bears receiver Marty Booker and a third-round pick in 2005. The deal, however, is dependent upon the Bears reaching a contract agreement with Ogunleye by 8:30 p.m. ET Saturday. If no deal is reached by then, the trade would not be complete. Dolphins general manager Rick Spielman confirmed to FOXSports.com that a deal is pending but was not sure if a contract agreement would be reached in time. Ogunleye has been a holdout this preseason after refusing to come into camp with a restricted tender offer. He had an AFC-high 15 sacks for the 'Fins a year ago and would dramatically help the Bears pass rush, which recently flip-flopped its defensive ends to juggle things up a bit. Booker had two 1,000-yard-plus seasons during the past three years and would dramatically upgrade the Dolphins passing attack, an attack which recently lost David Boston to a knee injury.
August 22, 200421 yr Ogunleye got 6 years, $36 million with a $15 million signing bonus in chicago. With the fins defense to surround him, it'll show how average he actually is.
August 22, 200421 yr Good deal for the Phins.. But with their Luck... Chambers gets a career ending injury.. Booker is out Multiple Weeks.. and Ogunleye breaks the sacks record.. :plain
August 22, 200421 yr Someone needs to step up and perform like a starter at defensive end now... :mischief2
