Trade Rumors? (only Rumors)


Recommended Posts

I think their might be some fire here.. If you put together the consistencies in rumors over the last month and each teams requirement it has become obvious to move upwards would require a creative multi team trade to satisfy all partners

 

 

I'll take the rumor with a huge grain of salt, but creativity is needed to get this type of deal done

No guarantees and it still hasn't happened. However, those saying this makes zero sense, that it's nonsense, zero % chance etc.....Make sure you come on here and eat a big bowl of crow if it happens! Easy to come on and say that it has 0% credibility to it. #no skin in the game

Beckham for Gronk, swap firsts this year, Pat's send this year's 2 firsts and next year's to go to #2.

 

If I'm ne* I do that. 

 

And if I’m NY I don’t. Why trade for a TE who is openly contemplating retirement? And given how far down in the 1st round the Pats draft this year (and likely next) that’s nowhere near the ammo needed to get up to #2.

I understand the parameters of the deal are sketchy for a few folks.

 

However, how it actually all goes down and plays out could be vastly different in terms of the compensation. Could be more like 

 

Buffalo gives up 12, 22, 53, 56, 2019 first, 2020 3rd.

 

Giants give up 2nd and say something else, end up with 4th, 22nd, 56th. And possibly more from Browns/Bills.

 

Browns give up 1st and 4th but acquire the 2nd, 12th, 53rd, Shaq Lawson, 2019 1st and 2020 3rd.

 

I could be way off and probably am, just saying the rumour isnt true or false based on the projected compensation... cause the teams can still be working on the price right up until draft night.

So the Giants spent a first rounder on

 

Engram (23rd overall)- 64 Rec-722 Yards-6TDs as a rookie.

 

Yet the giants are going to have interest in gronk? Enough so to trade ODB as part of a deal for him? ?

Again. do people even apply common sense to anything before publishing it?

 

The Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills and New York Giants may have something brewing. The Browns would land the Giants' No. 2 overall pick, the Giants would then get the Bills' No. 4 and No. 12 picks, while the Bills would find themselves with the No. 1 overall pick.

 

So Bills get first overall.

 

Giants get 4th and 12th.

 

Cleveland drops down a spot and loses 4th overall.

 

Can someone please tell me how this makes any sense?

 

 

 

Cleveland and the giants get the players they want at 2 and 4 plus get additional assets.  that is how it works.  Bills over pay but get the qb they want .  It makes a ton of sense.  

if Cleveland wants Allen they are guaranteed him at 2 . If the GIants want Barley or Chubb they are guaranteed the player at 4 .  They risk nothing and get ton for moving down.   It really is a perfect scenario

The Pats would likely happily take #22 for Gronk.  You can have Barkley / pick 12 (stud LB / DB) / Gronk / pick 56

 

or

 

Gronk / pick 23 / pick 31 / Pats 2019 1st

 

 

Which is better?

Huh? How do you have Barkley,12,22 and 56?

 

Are we giving the Giants our picks without getting anything other than ODB?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but neither of them made any mention of specific teams, right? Obviously Buffalo appears to be one of the most likely teams to move up, but nobody significant has really said that it's related to Buffalo AFAIK

They are tied into the draft though.  If you own NFL net and you want to promote draft coverage, they are a young up & coming team you could push to hint something first before Rapsheet or Schefter breaks it.

These guys purposely keep it as vague as possbile so if/when anything happens they can claim they knew.

And the Bills can't field a roster this year and set themselves back another 3. Do people even listen to Beane when he talks?  It's all about building through draft. He is not giving away 4 first round picks, 2 2nd round picks, and a 3rd round pick for one crapshoot of a player

Apparently you are the one who doesn't listen to everything Beane says.

 

And should you even trust everything he says in public? As a bills fan I hope not...

Cant field a roster? You realize a SB winning team literally did exactly the same thing we are currently doing?

 

Moreover, its three first rounders and you are not giving them away you are getting a blue chip prospect at the most important position. SOMETHING BEANE ALSO SAID WAS THE IMPORTANCE OF A FRANCHISE QB.

 

Oh, and that thing called cap space that we gain massive amounts of next off season. Ya know to fill those holes you seem to deem impossible to fill unless we draft them this year.

I'm not a fan of the Jimmy Johnson chart, as I generally feel it is antiquated and became obsolete with the rookie wage scale (seriously, check out the trades since 2011 using the JJ chart. They make no sense.), but I do understand that the truth generally lies in the middle. So I checked some scenarios with both the Rich Hill base 100 chart and the JJ chart. Ended up with a slightly modified version of my original proposal.

I feel like the scenario is at least plausible, and each team can sell it as a win.

 

   - Bills get their QB and still have a pick in rounds 2 & 3 this year.

   - Browns still get the QB they want and come out ahead 1 1st round pick this year and next year.

   - Giants get they player that they were going to get at 2, but also pick up an additional 2nd & 3rd round pick.

 

And before people go twisting who's giving what for what, I also put together the net result for the Browns since they were involved in both transactions. They come out ahead in both. So no, they aren't losing.

Pats trade to number 1.  Give up all picks this year to Cleveland. 

 

To get to #1, I bet they’d need to throw in some meadcoins.

The Eagles did not.  They gave a first, 3rd and 4th in current draft year.  1st following year.  2nd 2 years from the trade.  That is no where near what was put in that post.

 

Lawson = 1st round pick

2018 12th = 1st round pick

2018 22nd = 1st round pick

2019 1st  =  1st round pick

 

4 first round picks.  Then he also has 2 2nds this season and even more picks the following year.  That is straight lunacy.  You would literally be down 5 players in the first year.

 

Franchise QB has nothing to do with getting to top of draft.  There are more franchise QBs that come from beyond the first two picks than there are ones that come from the first two picks.

 

Cap space is the most overrated thing in all of football.  Cap space means zero in getting good players.
