For 25 million? We will find out.

His contract about accurate for what the current WR market is. He’s not Tyreek at 30m$, he’s not Davante at 28m$ or Deandre on a 2 year old 27m$ a year contract, but he is in that next tier, and right now 25m$ is the top of that tier because it’s the newest deal.

Better stats? Based on what? That AJ was injured last year? AJ had 1000 yards his first 2 years in 16 game seasons. CeeDee had 900 his first and then 1100 in a 17 game season.

The reason AJ is so valuable is Ceedee had 11 TDs in 2 years on a pass happy team. AJ has 24 TDs in 2.5 years on a league-leading rushing team. That’s phenomenal.

I bet CeeDee has a better season then AJ.

Everyone knew the Titans wanted to trade Brown and they still got a lot more than a 5th round pick.

Eagles went into the draft trying to improve the team..........we are just glad everyone was able to get together for dinner and enjoy the show.

No, it’s a friendly bet. We will go by PFF.:thumbup:

PFF as in their yearly grade? AJ Brown is 84.0, 90.1 and 84.4 in his injured year. Ceedee Lamb 71.6 and then 84.3. Who has the better number for 2022? Sure I'll take that bet. On the Eagles board, the usually parameters are an avatar swap, you pick one for me or I pick one for you. Let's say... once season's final PFF rating goes up and then up until to 2023 draft?

Ok brother. You on. Now let’s enjoy the rest of the draft. You are a good sport.

Don’t see where this trade helps Ryan Tannehill and Tennessee.
Bill Belichick Jr is coaching that team. If you don't like the asking price, trade the player. The Pats have done that for years. Wish Dallas would start doing that instead of over paying, slightly above average, players.

What New England has done doesn’t work for everyone. It’s not going work for them anymore without Tom Brady. Ryan Tannehill is a mid tier QB who just lost one of his top weapons. No guarantees the receiver they drafted pans out. They moved on from a proven player to an unproven one. As for the Cowboys they traded away Amari Cooper for practically nothing. That certainly didn’t make them a better team.

Yal can laugh at that now but they have 2 1sts next year (ammo to move up for Young or Stroud). If Hurts doesn't work out this year, they get their QB next year

With this being a weak QB year, there are going to be quite a few QB hungry teams next year. I suspect if you are a team with a pick that can get you Stroud or Young, you won’t see many teams trading out.

I was somewhat depressed upon hearing about AJ Brown going to the Eagles.

They beat the tar out of us on that deal. Let's hope we'll improve tomorrow. ;)

Are we going by the the same thought process that is convinced his stats are better than AJ’s before this season?
No. The fact that Dak Prescott can sling the ball around and Hurts can’t? How many 50 burgers you have last year?

Pff rating is based off a WR's overall play as opposed to just production. So even though Hurts did not have Dak's year, Devonta Smith had a 77 grade... higher than Ceedee's rookie year. So no reason to think a much better WR can't have a much better grade even with Hurts throwing to him.

Yeah the more I see…the more I’m starting to think they could’ve got more for Cooper…..granted, he’s not good as Brown, Hill or Adams….but he has to be better than a 5th.
Cooper has been better than aj brown every year.

brown is hype.

61 catches per season, 998 yards and $25m per year and a 1 draft pick.

I’m not paying 25m for 61 catches. Our TE did better than that and I’m not even sure he’s that good.
