Trade for Madison?

Sam Madison (CB, Dolphins) said that he would like to be an Atlanta Falcon or a Kansas City Chief next year if he had his choice. The Dolphins will begin shopping Madison as soon as they are allowed.
My question is, what do you guys think that the Falcons would give for Madison?

wow, very interesting. Where did you find this???

The likeliness of Madison of become a Chief is very low considering they just traded for Surtain last year.

But Hotlanta??
They were looking for a CB earlier in the draft due to Jason Webster's incosistency.

They could trade a 3rd rounder for him because Madison is getting up there in years. But the Dolphins might argue for a 2nd rounder, but I don't think they would give up on Webster just yet..

I can't even see us trading for a guy who is over 30 years old and past his prime.

I wouldn't expect the Falcons to give up anything higher than a 5th Rounder. I think that Saban will look to just get the 5th back he gave up for Manny Wright.

Yeah I would rather just use a 3rd or 4th RD pick and draft one... i could see a 5th but just for his leadership

Trading a 5th or 6th for Madison would not necessarily be a bad idea. He would certainly be an improvement on our current secondary, even if just for a year or so. It might allow Webster to shift to nickel, and D.Minter/J.Joseph/A.N.Other to develop for a year or two.

The big question would be Madison's contract. Coz if that would prevent other signings, it would probably not be worthwhile. As a vet, I'm guessing that the cap hit would be fairly hefty, so the Falcons would probably not be interested.

if we get better DBs then we should start usin a dime. Then again we will have hartwell and brooking so i dunoo... We should not give up anything below fifth round for a DB over 30 who's not an allstar. maybe 4th.... I still think we should use 5th or 6th to get shock

Madison may be old, but at least he's very experienced and won't make many mistakes as a rookie corner would. Besides, drafting a rookie corner in the 3rd-5th round isn't certain that that corner will be any good in the pros. imo.
