In hindsight, should we have traded for Diontae Johnson?


Recommended Posts

DJ is $10M on the books for the Panthers.

 

He was traded to Carolina (CAR) from Pittsburgh (PIT) with 2024 7th round pick (#240) for Donte Jackson and 2024 6th round pick (#178). Now, Donte may have had some value for the Stillers but he was likely going to be cut in Carolina, and he signed a restructured $6M deal with them after the trade, so he didn't have a TON of value.

 

So maybe without Jackson to dangle, could we have gotten him for a 4th or a 5th and 6th?

 

In hindsight, is that a move you wished we pulled the trigger on, knowing what we know about Diggs now?

No thanks! I think BB makes zero trades up. Maybe trades back to 35-40. Then takes 2 WR.. some combo of Legette, Franklin, McConkey, or Pearsall. 

If we trade I think it’s Aiyuk for #28.
But then back to a $25-30 m contract. So instead, BB rolls the dice like the Packers  and drafts 2 high 🤷🏻‍♂️

Speaking of former Steeler almost-star WRs, Chase Claypool is still a FA. How about him?  /s


I have two memories of Claypool that stick in my head…signaling a first down and wasting time when his team was trying ti spike the thing…-100 awareness and selfishness. The other memory is running a slow, lazy, terrible route getting undercut by Taylor Rapp and costing his team a chance at victory.

Nah, I think he's a little overrated in my opinion. I don't think there's much difference between him or DJ Chark in quality of WR. And if we wanted another vet this season, we could still have Chark for less money and no Draft compensation.

When I saw Texans I thought a WR might be coming back. Brown is a little like Mack Hollins though so maybe not a fit. 

I see Brown as a poor man's Gabe Davis. Yet he did show he could do more when Dell and Collins missed time.
