What would you give for a OBJ or AJ Green?

[mozillameister]

The free agency looks awful except Randalle Cobb who might be resigned. But there's a hell of a lot of teams in rebuilding mode with great WR. Especially OBJ, who McD has a relationship with Gettlemen and QB + defense hungry. They might be interested in a lot of the draft picks this year in the 1st.

 

What would you give for either those guys considering their contracts? A 1st? A 2019 1st and 2020 2nd?

 

Imagine OBJ with Allen's arm?

OBJ nothing. Wouldn’t want that hesdcase with a huge contract on my team.

 

Green I’m not sure of his contract details. If they are team friendly, then I would give up a bit not too

much. He is approaching 30

[Saxum]

No. Wrong team for OBJ.

There is no ME in BIlls.

[blacklabel]

Can't see OBJ buying into what they wanna do here. He's a diva that's prone to sideline and locker room temper tantrums if the ball isn't coming his way every third play.

 

Tyrell Williams of the Chargers is gonna be a name to watch in free agency. Big target, faster than KB, stronger hands, etc. Don't forget Devin Funchess in Carolina, either.

I think WNY is "too small" for OBJ, to me it would simply be "weird" to have him here, kinda l;like thinking Terrel Owens was actually a bill.

[Rc2catch]

AJ Green is a little injury prone but without a doubt I’d give a 1st if it’s out of the top 10 for him in a heartbeat. He HAS to be double covered. So regardless of what stats he may put up here from a gameplanning standpoint I’m taking him anyday of the week. Consummate professional that guy. 

Beckham, and that contract I’m not sure I would even take. Maybe if the giants gave us their 3rd and OBJ for our second lol. I have always disliked him though

Green is either 30 or turning 30 next year. Giving a first rounder for an injury prone older receiver seems like a very steep and risky price to pay ?

AJ is hardly injury prone. He Has played in like 110-123 possible games. more durable than Julio by games played 

 

he had 1 season where he missed 6 games. He averages about 15-16 besides that

All depends when they want to contend.  Contend for a SB now, and you make the trade. If they think they are better off building long term because Allen isn’t quite ready, keep the draft picks

There isn't an elite guy in this draft but a lot of good talent. I think there'll be a good WR with our 2nd. I'm not against trading up to #33 to make sure we get Marquise Brown.

[YoloinOhio]

I would give a 2nd for AJ

[White Linen]

IMO besides QB, WR is the hardest position to fill.  Good ones hardly become available in free agency,  they're hard to draft and they're expensive.  If you can get an AJ Green for a 2020 1st round pick, I would do it. 

 

The best scenario is if Allen really develops and makes a great one out of what we have.

These are the only two WR worth pursuing in FA in all honesty. And Funchess may be the only one worth the money we would end up having to pay. Tyrell hasn't performed to the level of what he will sign for in FA and what we would likely have to pay to get either here. Both are upgrades over KB this season, but our best options lie within the draft: Brown, Harry, Arcega, Johnson etc.

 

OBJ wouldn't fit the culture here, and not just for the tantrums. Green is a great WR but he's aging and becoming more injury prone and likely wouldn't be worth the investment for the short time we'd have him. That's not to say both would be an immediate upgrade to the corps and give Allen a better throwing option. They would also likely command more double coverage giving Zay and the others the lionshare of targets. Even so, I'd rather spend a first on our own OBJ or AJ rather than trade than just that away to get them directly.

 

Ideally, we'd want to end up with a situation similar to the Steelers with Brown and JuJu - while Brown commands the double team priority, defenses still have to scheme for JuJu almost equally, which provides incredible matchup advantages not just in the passing game, but with the run as well. Defenses will have to package personnel to combat two top WR threats on every play, yet field enough in the box to stop the run. Same luxury was felt in Denver with Thomas/Sanders up until two years ago. Imagine what we'd do with two top receivers instead of just a WR1 and a rotating corps. Obviously, we need a WR1 before we can even have two, so not trying to put the cart before the horse here.

We definitely need to do that.  Offense is sputtering in large part due to below average blocking

[Pine Barrens Mafia]

AJ Green is AWFULLY long in the tooth.

 

I'd prefer beckham of the two.

OBJ? Pfft! Can he do this?

eff it, trade 2019 and 2020 1st and 2nd round picks and get both of them.  They will provide much needed depth behind our young superstars Robert Foster and Isaiah McKenzie
