    Yeah, really.  Neither Philly or Dallas would want to trade w/in

       Noonan may or may not suck.  He's put on some extra muscle in the  off-
       season and is having an outstanding preseason.  But, yeah, he really
       hasn't produced in the reg season.   The  Pokes went from twenty-
       something to 8th against the run last year by obtaining Casillas, so
       you can't really say he sucks.  He didn't make any Pro Bowls or such,
       but he's a solid run-stuffer.  Neither Noonan or Casillas have  Seau's
       potential, though.

    A more reasonable offer:  J.Jones + Tolbert for Francis.  But it'll
    never happen.  Tolbert is too valuable to the Boys and Francis is too
    valuable to Cincy.

    Wrong...Cowboys got Beuerlein for a #2.  The Chargers are in desparate 
    need of a proven QB.  SB won 6 straight games last year filling in for
    Troy.  His td/int ratio is excellent.  He's one of the most sought after
    backup QB's in the league.  JJ turned down at least 3 offers for him in
    the offseason.   Sorry, but this one could work.
