But I think it has to be more tempting now than before to find the extra money for a Patrick Peterson or James Bradberry. Maybe the holdup with Bates is he's within $2M of Trai Turner. So now that negotiation is being settled before they respond to Bates. Even if these moves are done we won't know if they were helped along by a change in the odds of winning it all. Seems reasonable they are planning a couple more moves, it's just now they may up the ante to the bigger fish - Turner/Bradberry/Peterson. Certainly more tempting. But it also is contrary to a core part of their approach, which is to build for the long term. The challenge for them is to find a way to do what you say AND keep them prepared for the future. Ultimately, you're talking about making a decision like the Rams made last year - we'll eat cap and trade good picks to get Von Miller for half of a season. Would Beane have pulled the trigger on that one? He says he's going to do whatever he has to do to make the team better. It will be interesting to see it play out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
