Minnesota has a rookie QB, they can afford to pay two WRs big $, this is fake news!

Also it isn't like Addison is on the last year of his rookie deal and is seeking a massive contract. He's got 2 years left plus an option on his rookie deal. Those are exactly the cost controlled players you hope to draft. This just doesn't add up.

It's a nothing post. It just says that a Vegas Bookie (Bovada) lists Buffalo as the most likely to land him according to their current betting odds IF he were to be traded.

 

There's betting odds for tons of different players every year and only an extremely small percentage of them actually are traded. It's easy money for Vegas. Place a bet on a player being traded somewhere and if they aren't traded, it's free money. 

 

If I had a nickel for every player we were "favored" by Vegas to trade for that wasn't traded and/or wasn't traded to us over the years. That being favored to land Myles Garrett really got us far, for example.

Rousseau Oliver Watt Bosa

 

3rd down pass rush😈
 

 

Draft a 1T  and rotate the 3 Edge rushers on 1st & 2nd down

 

let’s say he were to get moved…I’d guess it’s a package for PIT to land a QB

 

that said, I’d offer 30 and 2026 1st + Javon Solomon/AJ Epenesa

 

extend him and backload + void year the heck out of the contract

Laughable, when’s the last time Pittsburgh traded away a star player in their prime?

Antonio Brown?  Same age at TJ.  Came off 100+ catches, almost 1300 yards and career high 15 TDs

 

certainly a a different situation as one was a looney tune, but he was as good as it gets as a WR when he was traded.

I’ll be the bad guy and say I’m not a TJ Watt guy. Just like his brother he crushes stats becuase he freelances on defense. It results in impressive numbers but part of the reason the team never wins anything becuase he doesn’t play within the system. Just what I see when I watch him. JJ was way worse with his gap integrity. Anyway not a fan and he isn’t getting moved anyways.

Granted both Watt and AB are self aggrandizing me me me types but Brown had an extra level of crazy.

I understand where you’re coming from, I’ll just push back slightly and say JJ Watt’s play style is a very small part of the reason the team never wins anything, 5-10 reasons before I get to Watt.

Definitely a fair and accurate point

Oh for sure - hence the “certainly different situations as one was a looney toon”.

 

but he was in the midst of one of the greatest 6 year WR runs ever

He posted a pic. Whoopity-doo! Let's bust out the ridiculous trade ideas.

 

He could post a professionally worded official statement, complete with signature, stating that he wants to leave Clevela... er, Pittsbugh and i'd still expect the next step to be a long term extension.

Watt and Rousseau would swap positions in your appealing fantasy alignment.

I didn't even notice that. He's always sliding premier Edge Rushers inside to play Nose Tackle in his Madden GM mode.

Yeah I get it, but one is the face of the franchise the other was a cancer.
