Jerry talks possibility of trading for veteran players post draft

[boysfanindc]

Yeah, I think all the hand-wringing about the RB situation all over this board likely is uninformed. Jerry seemed so intent for Stephen to talk about the trade route.. Might not only be adding Zeke, but plausibly any of the teams that added an RB early in the draft could be willing/interested in trade talks about someone already on their roster. And as many realize, there's been talk for weeks now that the Texans might be seeking to move Dameon Pierce.

I think it is more likely Jerry understands the fan base is not happy with the RB/DT situation so let's convince the fans we are turning over every stone.

He actually responded to a reporter yesterday when asked about not getting a RB that the draft was not over, there's a thought.

Just keep showing the shiny object,

So he's looking to trade for a RB.....
Every NFL owner/GM knows were are desperate for a RB...ol'Jerra fixing to get hulled out

I pretty much ignore any thread that begins with "Jerry talks"

A trade is really the only route left to try to improve the position. We can bring in Elliott, and I'm OK with that, but if he's the starter, then we won't have improved over what we had. He's not that guy anymore.

I don't think we can get a good DT. No one is going to trade one of those right now. But a back is definitely something we could pick up in a trade. I'd also like to see us still try to upgrade receiver, bringing in someone who can be that third guy instead of having to rely on unknowns ... but I don't think that's something we would do until near the end of camp.

Here's the one name... barely a "veteran"... that I'm finding as a plausible option, if we agree on the premise that whoever they would trade for would be (a) pretty cheap and (b) comparatively fast...

The Jets drafted a 4th round and a 5th round RB today, to add to their starter Breece Hall, plausibly making it difficult to justify keeping Isreal Abanikanda. Though Abanikanda brings speed to their RB room at a stronger level than those other three, the Jets' salary cap situation is fairly acute, and it would seem a luxury to list 4 RBs on their depth chart.

The talk about trading for vets and then mentioning Quinn and players that may fit better in other places had me a little confused. Please dont tell me we gonna trade for some Commanders scrubs

 

[ElGatoGrande]

All joking aside, Jerry and Co have managed to pull in some half-decent stop gap players on 1 yr deals recently.

 

[Verdict]

We can also go to the well one more time and trade Dexter Coakley and Troy Hambrick for a stud running back.

Liked him last year.....

Jerry doing what he does best… peddling false hope.

 

[Bullflop]

I'll believe Jerry's comments about resolving our RB problems in the weeks to come when it happens.
Does he ever make false claims? He recently stated that Zeke is still well worthy of a #1 draft pick . . .

It may be wise to refrain from holding your breath for that to materialize. If you do, prepare to suffocate!

 

[doomsday808]

Ring master Jerry creating headlines to keep us engaged. Brilliant!

 

[Setackin]

Jerry will always say what he has to.

 

[TwentyOne]

Same procedure as last year ma'am?
Yes James, same procedure as every year!

The guy doesnt even need to be creative anymore. You could have a puppet sitting there and it would have the same effect: People will post his crap and start talking and trying to make sense out of this rubbish.

 

[Redsfan_83]

Trading what, and for what? Vets on the street? Mr. Snake Oil has a selling job to do before regatta season

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

Oh no....please don't let this senile, liver spotted, yellow toothed plastic surgery deformed urine soaked geezer call up one of these 45 year old hot shot GMs with Law Degrees and multiple PhD's and try to engage them in a trade.

Jerruh will end up signing over ownership of the franchise in exchange for a 7th round pick and a box of Depends

 

[stinkface]

Sadly, I am starting to think Jerry is turning into a politician who can effortlessly talk out of both sides of his mouth. Actions speak louder then words.
