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 😂

Yea that’s definitely true….it would have to be a big swing

I don’t think that’s a big stopper tbh…jets and dolphins are FULL rebuild. They’d ship him here if we outbid everyone. Will we though is the question…obviously if you get matching offers then yea ship him outside the division

Deebo gets a ton of targets a year…where does this gadget guy label come from I really don’t understand lol he’s more of a full time player than shaheed would’ve been in this offense

I’m not at all haha not sure if I’m the only one though 😂. He is honestly such a better fit than shaheed imo

Assuming he stays healthy (which is a tricky assumption lol) I honestly really like Deebo in this offense he’s kinda the model of player they were trying to hit on with Coleman and probably missed 😂 If you’re running the football half the time, you need a mauler in run blocking, you need a quick outlet on these chiefs exotic blitzes that’s a pretty big target and has a shot even when covered. You need someone with the iq to sit in open space on the field

Chiefs had every reason to go absolutely all out on the bills the last three regular season matchups. There’s an absolute 0% chance they weren’t throwing everything they have at those games this year the chiefs are battling for the division last year they were trying to continue an undefeated season and that was their final speed bump the year before that they had a really good chance to prevent the bills from making the playoffs at all

Yea that was a weird scenario where I think Odell was better than the available WRs we’re talking about here as likely targets and he was a free agent after bullying his way out of Cleveland obviously a big name wr would definitely help 😂
