Sure, but you can have different targets in different rounds. Maybe there’s a DT or two they’d love at 9, but they have contingency plans if they aren’t on the board. Second round or trade up from there.

They are letting him out of it.

You never know what constraints and directives a GM is working under. If the Giants aren’t blowing up that team and going all out for QB of the future and total rebuild, then someone there is stupid. Could be the owner, could be the GM.

Possibly Earl Thomas to Browns as well. It’s getting silly, but fun!

And yet they tried to trade for Antonio Brown and OBJ. Hmmmmm.......

Not with Greggg’s stupid defensive scheme. I’d rather have him there than on a playoff team that hopefully we’d have to worry about in the postseason.

Hell no. He makes that Balt defense hum. They’re a legit playoff team. Let Mosley get paid and go to the Jest where Greggg will waste him. It’s not like they’re going to the playoffs with or without him. Explains why the Jest got so stupid with Mosley. He wanted to be back with the Ravens, but the money got too crazy to turn down.

Madness

Ridiculous. Everything today has been ridiculous

We sure didn’t get Kroft at any sort of discount.

In comparison this makes the Clay signing look reasonable. Jeebus.

Their owner doesn’t have any major money coming from another source like most. The Raiders are the family’s revenue source. Couple that with two other facts: 1) the Raiders are the lowest revenue team in the NFL and 2) there is a clause in the CBA that requires all unpaid guaranteed money to be put into escrow at the time a contract is executed. That tells you a lot about their current financial situation and why they’re moving to Vegas.

Good depth signing at CB assuming he was paid as such.

It was more about giving up the 9th pick in the draft as well as the biggest WR contract for a 30 yr old WR. If we are talking a more reasonable trade, then I’d be in - even with a contract like AB’s.

The only thing that would prevent me from making the proposed trade is Julio’s age. If he was 27 I’d be all for it. As it stands, no.

Tyrod trade is iactually the only impressive thing on the list.

Just wanted to chime in and say that somehow, someway I’m not at all in on Metcalf.

The outfits do seem warm.

They want to work out a LTD with him. He’s open to playing under the tag as well. Sadly, he’s going nowhere.

He’s worked well with Mayfield. I expect any reasonable offer sheet to get matched by the Browns.

Technically teams trade contracts - not players - so if a deal was made in good faith, then there would have to be a clause regarding alternate compensation or reversal. I do not know how common that is.

I agree. Probably a late first round pick at worst. We’d need to trade back from 9 or up from 41. i misread the post I quoted. I thought he meant he’d use the late first on Samuel and thought I’d rather have Campbell.

Or Paris Campbell

Beane and McD have talked about the kinds of people they are and want on this team. I’m not looking for a team of choir boys. That’s not what this is about. And I want to win. But AB is the antithesis of what they’ve said they want. They aren’t walking the talk and I’m disappointed. That comes more from them BSing everyone as opposed to just giving us all a more honest and reasonable assessment of their approach.

Sorry, man, it happens. The Steelers were paying AB a crap ton of money and that didn’t stop him from bailing on the last game of the season with playoffs on the line. It didn’t stop him from trashing his QB either. No team wants to give up substantial draft capital and invest big time money into a player unless they can expect effort and reasonably good behavior. IMO the Bills did the right thing bailing on the deal upon hearing AB didn’t want to come here. But they did the wrong thing by even investigating bringing a spoiled brat like him onto this team. Other than being a phenomenal player in the field (when he chooses to actually play) he’s exactly the opposite of what this regime has said they were about.
