ESPN is just reporting that Chicago offered Seattle that package for Wilson and Seattle turned it down.

Would you have taken the deal or kept Wilson?

Depends on how far I think my team is away from competing for the championship this season, and who the 2 starters were.

I think it's the 40M in dead cap more than anything. It has to be worth cutting other valuable players to get rid of him. Next year they will trade him. So those 3 1sts and 2 starters weren't enough to take on the 40M in dead cap and cut some of their better players.

I seriously don't know what these teams think they are going to accomplish with a trade like that because it's a terrible football decision.

Patrick Mahomes is probably the only QB you could get away with doing a trade like that for because of his youth because that is going to set your team back bigtime.

Possibly, but if your Seattle and you trade Wilson you are obviously rebuilding. If I can get 40 million over in my first season of the rebuild, thats not a bad option. I actually dont know why teams dont use that strategy more often.

That cap hit would have been killer but you’re acquiring 3 firsts in which you get back since you traded em for Jamal

What was Jay Cutler worth to Chicago? I think it was Orton (technically a starter), two firsts, and a third. Chicago may have also received a carton of Marlboros for Cutler in the trade.

Is this a joke or what?

R. Wilson isn't worth Lve, B. Jones, T. Charlton and a few players? Please..

Owners looking out for their short term financial success, not the team’s long term success.

He's 32 and what are you going to put around him.

I know you Dak guys forget the goal of football sometimes but the goal is to win a Superbowl.

You aren't giving up 3 1sts, a 3rd, and 2 vets and recovering from that soon. He'll make them a wildcard team at best. But if all you care about is relevancy then yeah it's a great move.

That trade is more moronic then signing Dak and that's saying something.

Remember who you are talking to. This is the guy that thinks you can win a SB with Dalton at QB. After all, its been proven!!!!!!

The deal is worthless if you don’t have a quarterback to replace Wilson.
