Theres every reason to wait— what if the bills (or giants) only like one qb at that spot? What if the giants don’t want to sell early?

It’s obviously not going to happen, and there’s downside beyond the non qb asset you pass on (splitting limited practice reps for instance) but it’s not near as absurd as some are acting.

Remind me how you trade a low 1st this year for a high next year? What happens if that team is suddenly .500 or a wildcard? You go go get your qb when you can. The only way you don’t trade up this year is if you don’t like the prospects available

Jahri Evans and Carl nicks were pretty important to the saints super bowl but even then they were behind several others on the list of key contributors

I was agreeing. Ritchie walks with it and some other player can’t get that money in a contract. 31 other teams would pursue it and any guy trying to get paid should be upset if Ritchie walks out the door with that money was my point

Why is Cleveland trading 4 picks including 33, for a First next year?

Unfortunately, that grade is “good” not “great” and ignores some early troubles where he singlehandedly lost games

He was a mess for the rams decent but ended in disaster in Miami and had 3 very good seasons here Ignoring the Martin issue he’s still not even close

Yea and those players around the league deserve that money back in the free agent pool, not Ritchie’s pocket

Literally every team would do this

The social media team is drafting up the official tweet

Truly, you’ll never hear a GM say “we saw a franchise qb but we are just really weak at LG and couldn’t make the move”

Seems to make as much sense as any guess

Might be a little dramatic there

100% would be open if we think he’s the guy

Likeban hour ago was “good morning football” who knows... if he got bad news from the doc he may have gone off the deep end. And he has history of being off the deep end. Odd story all around. Hopefully all is ok with him.

No joke- he’s all over the place. Even by his standards

More than ever you need to get them in FA to contribute fast. Projects are taking longer with the low contact rules for practice. Would’ve been great to know this a month ago... but if it’s a health issue so be it. If it’s health and money it’s a bit sketchier

This didn’t need another thread Agreed

Seriously though- is he back on drugs? I know that that sounds like a joke but he’s had issues and the last couple of weeks are incredibly erratic

Has til Sunday? Or what?

He wasn’t the guy there

He’s been coming across pretty scattered— hopefully not having some of his old issues pop back up

We almost certainly overpaid- which isn’t a big deal as long as he steps up. for those citing familiarity- that’s not ALWAYS a pro. If they like the guy they may be too quick to excuse issues and err on trusting the best season. It can break all kinds of ways. You can overpay and still be a good move though. Don’t take every opinion out there quite so personally and your day will be much nicer

You would think as a packer he would be better about the contents of his luggage jokes aside- dumb comment but silly that quote catches someone charges
