benderbender Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 For procrastinators like me, the trade deadline is November 2 at 4pm. I set an alarm to bunch up my panties at 3:45pm. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to hype something to try and drum up interest in the most boring Trade Deadline in Professional Sports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to add speed to the backfield, they need only to make active on game day the running back that's already on their roster, already knows the playbook, and won't cost any draft compensation to acquire. Matt Breida hasn't been consistently good since the 2018...MAYBE 2019 season. He's really not the player he was then. This year he can't find the field over Moss and Singletary. Last year he couldn't beat out some really bad Dolphin RBs to even dress on game day. He had 1 really solid game last season against NE but the Dolphins had other backs run wild on them that day too. Sanders is younger, less injury history and has shown he can create yards on his own behind a lackluster OL.

ngbills Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I have no problem trading 5-7 round picks for someone that would help now. Losing those types of picks for a help us now guy is a no brainer. 2 hours ago, Logic said: I like Sanders well enough, but I don't really see how he gives our offense an element that Matt Breida wouldn't.

If Breida = Sanders then our coaching staff has a lot of explaining to do why he is not even active for games. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could definitely get behind Singletary plus a mid-round pick for Miles Sanders, but are you willing to give him a second contract? If not, we're doing that for a 2 year player.

It's a reason why teams will trade 3rd or 4th rounders knowing they will get them back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, we're doing that for a 2 year player. No problem giving away 5-7 rounders for a rental player. Heck even 2-4 round picks would be considered. With our roster we have 2nd rounders not even active on game days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanders is 24, Breida is 26. Based on age and rushing yards per attempt, it doesn't seem like the gap between the two is that big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, we're doing that for a 2 year player. I would be 100% behind a mid round pick (later if Motor is added) for a 2 year rental if it increases odds of winning a Super Bowl. As someone else stated you could make it back with a comp pick or just let him to. Worry about 2 years from now in about 18 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breida hasn't been productive in about 2-3 years....since being injured. Numbers don't always tell the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I think another Tight End is a no brainer whether that is somebody like Engram, Ebron or Hurst. Doesn’t matter. Now that Knox has become an offensive weapon, getting 2 Tight Ends on the field would make this offense almost un-stoppable. Teams cannot cover Sanders and Diggs. 2 Tight Ends in max protect and also the ability to run routes… good luck stopping that. I’d rather have an extra Tight End on the field than Beasley or Davis.

thenorthremembers Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Dont see any sense in giving up a pick for Sanders when I think the difference between he and Singletary is negligible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singletary is just not fast. Sanders - 4.49 vs DS 4.66 and Moss 4.7. That is a big difference. And Sanders is listed at 211 which is heavier than both of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
