And a 2nd rounder upgraded to a first…Pretty sure they got two firsts for parsons and Williams was a 1st and 2nd. probably a bunch of cap savings too. It was extremely bizarre and nonsensical timing with their season being just about over but on paper I don’t think the moves have been terrible

People like the broncos huh? I mean I’m hoping they hold on to spite the chiefs but man do they look like sh*t for long stretches of games lol I’d be pulling my hair out if I was a chiefs fan watching some of those Broncos wins 😂 if the pats beat the Bucs this week I’ll probably be more sold than I am now. As of now I think they’re pretty good but need a year to take the next step ravens and chiefs will be better than all these teams we’re talkin about in the second half but will it be enough to dig themselves out of the hole they’re in? Will be interesting to watch

Moore with moore reps (couldn’t help myself 😂) with months in this offense already probably has a higher playoff ceiling than shaheed joining a new unfamiliar team halfway through the season on the fly tbh. Obviously independent of rapport with Josh/learning the playbook shaheed is the better player though not disputing that also not sure if he’s improved but shaheed is a pretty bad run blocker im pretty sure which would def cost him snaps in our offense

That deal was probably getting ironed out pre cardinals game and they were counting on winning that one now look like fools 😂

There’s that famous adage of ‘dbs are only dbs because they can’t catch’ 😂. I wonder how much truth there is to that

Yea I think the person you were replying to was saying ‘ask the rams who won the Super Bowl with a big midseason trade a couple years ago’ haha unless I replied to the complete wrong thing which is possible my brain doesn’t work as good as it used to 😂

I think the bengals are the cautionary tale of going too far the opposite way of what the bills have done. The oline and defense are consistently garbage even in the regular season. Not even sure they’re a playoff team with burrow and even if they are he takes so many damn hits all year long that it’s a miracle he’s even available week to week

I feel like Philly really didn’t trade for anyone midseason either year they won the superbowl unless I’m missing something? which is very possible lol I think that’s why op brought up the rams not to put words in anyone’s mouth 😂. The only big swing midseason rental ‘trade’ I can think of that had a big impact was that rams team and that partly required a talented wr basically forcing his way out of his current contract which you can’t always count on. Von was a standard trade though theres a bunch of these half season rental trades every year and they mostly amount to not much of anything. I’ll never forget everyone panicking the chiefs got uche last year and I don’t think he was even active for the playoffs haha heck the ravens traded for diontae Johnson and had to waive him cuz he was a nutjob doesn’t mean we shoulda done nothing but I think people are expecting guys like shaheed to do exactly what he’s been doing the second he gets plopped onto the Seahawks but it often doesn’t work out that way

It’s a pretty badly worded tweet imo…they’re looking for guys to backup the guys that are backing up the guys that are replacing Hoecht pretty much lol

Feels like a lot of the need was wr for the two big afc teams that were buyers and the main potential sellers were afc east teams which is a tough spot. I don’t think teams love the half year rental wr trade on top of that…really takes a lot of playbook knowledge and rapport with the qb to be successful especially with a guy like Josh who’s a big improviser. by the time these dudes get their feet wet they’re off the team Odell has come up a lot who was a significantly better player when LA picked him up than anyone we realistically could’ve gotten at the deadline this year and even he was on that bills Amari cooper 300 yds in 8 games type pace until turning it on for the nfc championship

I mean Davis got let go because he got a nice payday and we didn’t think he was worth that then he came back for peanuts lol. I don’t think that particular individual point is much of a mystery

Made a lot of money betting against Darnold in the first round last year lol I really wish him the best but that was easy money

Honestly kinda shocked the pats weren’t buyers at the deadline…I wonder if beane was out there driving up the price on WRs so NE couldn’t grab anybody 😂

Ehh in this case if a division rival offers you a great deal you take it imo.. Dolphins and jets have to completely turn their roster over anyone they trade will be on the downswing by the time they are competitive again

That’s my guess at what fell though…maybe the bills only wanted Deebo and the commanders tried packaging Von in for more picks, maybe bills wanted both and commanders would only give up one. Idk

Bills picks are traditionally very late in the round to be fair…if someone is matching the bills offer there’s pretty much never a reason to take it

I think something probably fell through

I don’t think you restructure a deal unless you’re pretty sure a trade is getting done…it’s possible something seemed like a sure thing and fell through though for sure

Deebo is definitely a good run blocker at minimum….i don’t think you really get much value leaving Keon out there a ton of snaps with Deebo on the roster

If we pick up Deebo, Keon is gonna lose a ton of snaps imo. Even at this stage Deebo is better than keon at everything

I mean they’re doing that now and the bills have a worse version of current Deebo getting like 80% of the snaps haha if there’s a Deebo trade Coleman is def getting phased out short term

Not sure if we are but commanders could be holding out hoping his price gets driven up til the last moment

I still think it adds quite a bit…should be a mostly throwaway pick too. Obviously it’s not super flashy like trading a first and a second for waddle or something like that though for sure. How many guys are there working the underneath/intermediate stuff competently? lol one maybe? Seems like Kincaid gets a lot of work deeper down the field Deebo feels a lot like the kinda player we wanted Keon to be

Whatever the opposite of a silver lining is…we made trades three years in a row and it didn’t help anything 😂. If you want to look at it that way haha

They just need a body I’m sure…starting bad players helps them even more at this point 😂
