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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
