even if its true im not sure im willing to give my 2 if ET still wants a ridiculous contract in years and cost..it all sounds good but having more again high contract players just doesn't sit right with me..id roll with it if it happens but not be foaming at the mouth..
The way I see it, we are pretty bad selecting quality in the 2nd rd, atleast this way it would be for a proven player still playing at a high level.....plus would be a good player that could possibly be looked up to by our younger players.

Figured and figured it would be a good way to burn some time waiting for the draft.
You're a good friend.
Edit: I'm currently watching Lifeforce and if you've seen Lifeforce before... you know:
That's a darn good time burner.

idk second rounder on a 29 yr old safety that couldn't stay healthy the last 2 years. Health isn't going to get better with age. And he is looking for another big contract. I mean I want Earl Thomas but man 29 yrs old and often injured now is a tough one. What deal would we give him a 5 year deal? Could he still play at a probowl/All pro level for 5 years? Tough decision. Either way i hope it works out in our favor lol.

I don't see a long term deal getting done in a hurry....and I don't see Dallas giving a 2nd for 1 year....so it's either a lower pick or no go imho

We have the upper hand. They are desperate not to lose him for nothing next year. Dangle 3rd or 4th and sit. If someone else gives a second, fine by me

And can most likely play this year. Of course, he learns we've traded for him, he'll get all smoked up, tear his Achilles stepping off the curb and slap the nurse at the hospital. He'll be able to play in 2020.

Round 1 - fill a hole that you unecessarily created.

Pick 2- Give away for a one year rental.

That would be par for the course!

I feel myself slipping to the dark side - tonight and tomorrow may do me in.

Uggh. Its so terrible and so true and could happen.

Then in october they will be signing Linebackers and Defensive tackles off the street and garrett will be telling everyone next man up.

Uggh.

Ummm I have the score app and no such notification came to me. Ban
Score app? Is that useful in a singles bar? They don't have to tell you no to your face and embarrass you publicly, just hit the Get Lost button. The other button should be Gonna Love You Long Time, Sailor.
