If we trade or cut Von next year as a post 6/1, his dead cap extends into 2025. And you are absorbing the 6M THIS year How again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He absolutely would and could lower any compensation needed for a Jeudy or a Surtain II Question to that, how do we accelerate those guarantees to this year AND add another salary?

This, 100%. He's a kid in his prime. Let's live and die by the sword. If he gets hurt, so be it. What we have seen lately just isn't it.

billieve420 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) 1T followed by CB and WR would be my priorities. Think Beane should be able to make move for defensive tackle and it won't kill the team. Edited October 31, 2023 by billieve420 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawkins converts his base to bonus saves roughly 6M this year. Jeudy holding a 2.6M prorated, so roughly 1.6M coming back. See fits Gabe Davis in a trade is more clean because you would not need to restructure Dawkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have moved up a couple spots for Zay Flowers who has been productive. Amon Ra St. Brown, George Pickens (being held back by Kenny Pickett) and I don't think would be available. Christian Watson (who was productive last season under Rodgers). 2020 was the year they traded for Diggs but they may have had a shot at Justin Jefferson since he went right around the area that we drafted at. Those are just to name a few. Any noteworthy young WR is gonna cost too much money to bring in here. We don't have the cap space for it. Jerry Jeudy? Maybe but how good is he really? It's hard to tell. I say we draft ate own and if we have to move up a bit to grab one then we should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The teams only getting older moving forward, and you need more draft "lottery tickets". We have extra picks this year in 3 and 6. B - Lot of hindsight here. St. Brown ran a 4.6, which this board would have lost their minds on if we had drafted. Pickens had off-field issues. Diggs was essentially traded straight up for Jefferson - but hindsight is.. we didn't know he'd be on the board at the time we traded. C - Trading in season is always tough and i tend to veer towards a vet. But is that vet going to be better than Shakir/Sherfield/Harty? Are they even the issue or is it the plays, or allen holding the ball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So again your issue is lets draft for WRs but in the first, and my argument even thought they dont is to draft WRs valued in other rounds much higher because well I need something to support my argument????

Part of the reason why I am a bit meh on trading for players at the deadline. Use you picks and players to move around the draft to go grab an eventual diggs replacement in RD 1. I pinch my nose as I say this, but if we aren't great this year, so be it and use this draft to get that WR (provided this class actually has someone). We can always make cap room, but I'm looking for younger playmaker. This year the QB run will help push talent down the board. An off year for us, well... I don't like it, but looking at how we are trending...it's in the back of my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopreme Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Sign Suh for vet minimum, trade for WR - McLaurin. Davis is better suites as WR 3. McLaurin paired with Diggs would be amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like it, but looking at how we are trending...it's in the back of my mind I would love to have a top 3 pick (wont happen to get Marvin Harrison Jr). So now I am comparing say the chances of one of these (my early first round grades) to be where Bills pick. Malik Nabers 6'0 200 top 15 grade - 4.4 40 Emeka Egbuka 6'1 205 top 15 grade - 4.3 40 Keon Coleman 6'4 215 top 15 grade - 4.4 40 Rome Odunze 6'3 211 top 25 grade - 4.4 40 Early it looks like the class is pretty solid even once you go past Harrison Jr. Edited October 23, 2023 by MAJBobby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they even the issue or is it the plays, or allen holding the ball? The vet is fine. I'm not against the young vet. But how many are actually available? And how many are actually worth trading for? You don't trade for a young vet just to do it. It has to be a guy that's worth it and what kind of contract is that guy in right now? Odds are, if he is worth trading for, he's not gonna fit under the cap. Or he will be too expensive. A guy like DJ Moore would have been a perfect example for this. But he was too expensive. So, who do we get? Maybe we can get a Hunter Renfrow from the Raiders? Is he the game breaker we need opposite Diggs and can take over for him? I doubt it. He's a nice slot guy but that's it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy that wasn't available? Justin Jefferson went 22 overall in the draft that year. Guess who gave that pick to the Vikings? He would have been right there for the taking. Ee ended up with Diggs and it worked out but you're trying to jump the gun and say he wasn't avaliable to support an argument when he would have been had we had that pick lol. The other guys I mentioned were the next guys off the board when we picked and have been productive. Late first, early to mid second isn't that much of a drop off. So, yes my argument is valid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the stance now we should not have traded for Diggs. you are confusing at this point. heck with it yeah don’t trade for anything. Just draft ANY WR in round 1.

Who cares if he has a 3rd round grade Not saying to take one with a round 3 grade in round 1. I'm not saying we were wrong for trading for Diggs. What I am saying is that had we kept that pick, Jefferson would have been there. That was our pick we gave to them for Diggs. I'm also saying if there is a guy ranked between let's say the 33rd to 40th in the draft and we pick 27th. Is it really that bad to take the guy? Or a reach? I'm not saying to take a guy at 20 something overall that that's the 70th best player in the draft. Who would you trade for right now that has "proven" they are worth it that could be a potential Diggs replacement when he leaves? And can we afford the player? This isn't even just about grabbing a guy in the first round. The first 2 rounds works to. A lot of those guys are 2nd round picks. Michael Pittman is a guy I'd be interested in. He was a 2nd round WR. Would he be available? Is he the type of player that would work for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuboirs Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Go inquire but actually try to get! As in go all in and not say we tried but KC or philly had a better offer ...
