Correct. That's why you trade for a player before he's released.
You said you don't trade for a player who's about to be released. In the scenario where you want the player you do.
C'mon man, you asked why and we answered you. I've been rooting for this young man to succeed for several years because I like him.
Now with an opportunity for him to join the Bills my answer is yes. I think McD could be really good for him.
I care but I have admitted before I have a soft spot for Gordon. He just seems like too good of a young man to be doing this. I don't see him as a hopeless case, I guess is what it boils down to for me.
The catch he made last week in the endzone is all I needed to see to know he still has it. There's good receivers then there's gifted ones. He's gifted.
We're in desperate need of a hail mary at WR and I don't just mean this year. We have a ton of cap space coming the next two years but you almost always over pay for less than great WR's. The really good ones never become available. I find drafting WR's nearly as hard as identifying QB's. We need 2-3 WR's and a ton of other needs we need draft picks for. I've said it multiple times I think it's going to be by far the hardest position for us to fix.
I'll take the risk because he's so talented he could change the offense in a more significant way than any draft pick or free agency dollar can.
