Big Blitz Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Traded in conference for a 5th while your WR 1 is off an ACL tear and may not be ready for start of season tells me all I need to know. Washington following the 2024 Houston Texans off season blueprint. Quote
Low Positive Posted March 2 Posted March 2 6 minutes ago, BillMafia716ix said: Got traded for a bag of cookies. Hopefully we can upgrade our WR core. Seems like our plan is crossing our fingers hoping Keon Coleman turns into something. Don’t panic yet. Usually trades don’t start until after the Combine when teams get some time to restructure contracts to fit big vet deals under the cap. Quote
Big Turk Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Meh... Declining and often injured player...I am sure the 49ers are glad to have unloaded his contract. 1 1 Quote
The Jokeman Posted March 2 Posted March 2 27 minutes ago, Beast said: Again, it’s not the compensation. It’s the player. I think Samuel is vastly overrated. Is he a number 1? Nope but he's an average to above average number 2 which is what Commanders need. They're trying to get their QB in a rookie deal more talent around him. I think it makes sense for that team. 7 minutes ago, Big Blitz said: Traded in conference for a 5th while your WR 1 is off an ACL tear and may not be ready for start of season tells me all I need to know. Washington following the 2024 Houston Texans off season blueprint. I wonder if they looking to improve at RB from Brian Robinson and who they could land? Quote

BuffaloBillyG Posted March 2 Posted March 2 No longer a game changer type guy. Oft injured, seemed unmotivated last year in SF with a big cap number. However, at just a 5th with the option of either reworking his deal for a lower cap number or using this year and letting him walk (for what would likely be a 5th or better comp pick) it's a good low risk move.

streetkings01 Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Such a meh trade. Maybe 2-3 years ago this would be a blockbuster….not so much now. Quote

Not to mention they can play Deebo outside and allow McLauren to play inside. Their Offense was already tough to stop. McLaurin is a deep threat. Why would they move him inside? Deebo is more of a slot receiver who gets handoffs, tosses behind the LOS and other short tosses, then uses his quickness, size and strength to gain yardage. 1 1 Quote
buffblue Posted March 2 Posted March 2 (edited) 1 hour ago, Beast said: I’m aware of their cap space and that’s one of the reasons why I think they pulled the trigger too quick. There will be better. Samuel just doesn’t do it for me. Yeah he's basically a 30 year old injury prone gadget guy who you will probably get 10 games out of. Good player in the past and could fit in Kingsbury's offense, and a 5th isn't a massive amount to part with. But I'm not a fan of his at this point Edited March 2 by buffblue Quote
Chicken Boo Posted March 2 Posted March 2 An excellent fit. 1 hour ago, Beast said: Again, it’s not the compensation. It’s the player. I think Samuel is vastly overrated. It's his health that's the problem, not his talent. Quote

NoSaint Posted March 2 Posted March 2 (edited) 2 hours ago, FireChans said: Ok what FA target do you think the Commanders can’t go after due to this trade? I mean I think his points simply that it makes it unlikely they hop in the market for say maybe a DK metcalf/higgins (or who knows who else comes loose) now that they have McClaurin/deebo not that a 5 or the cash is crushing to them- just that they are probably done in the “elite wr” market and he didn’t like Deebo in that bracket Edited March 2 by NoSaint Quote
Billl Posted March 2 Posted March 2 26 minutes ago, ColoradoBills said: Last year of his contract and his cap hit is small. Seems like a good risk/reward to me for Washington. But he’s not going to play under that contract, so his current cap number is irrelevant. You’re essentially sending a pick in exchange for receiving exclusive negotiating rights for signing that player to a contract. Quote
MikePJ76 Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Buffalo got a 2 for diggs last year. both declining players and disgruntled. At least it seemed like deebo was. i just read this morning he wanted to go to Houston or denver 1 Quote
Orlando Buffalo Posted March 2 Posted March 2 I am choosing to look at this as good news for the Bills- players who want out and have expensive contracts get less draft value therefore Maxx or Myles can be had for like a 2nd. Honestly I did not want him with his current contract so I see why he did not get much. Quote

They have the cap space I think to absorb his money. seems making him play on a prove it year is the better move than taking on multiple years of money. 1 Quote
Doc Brown Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Adam Peters is killing it so far. Hires Quinn, drafts Daniels, flips Dotson for a 3rd, and now gets Deebo for a 5th. 2 Quote
