Offseason Fun, Pt. 2: Seattle is on the phone

[JBS]

Because both Sherman and Thomas are cogs in a system. Take them out of that system and they are a lot more "mortal" especially with this defensive front 7. Elliott will have 10 times the impact on this team that either Thomas or Sherman would at a fraction of the cost.

At least that's how I could justify it.

I don't think that's fair at all to Earl Thomas..he's the best in the game...

pretty much my line of thought. Almost never does a star play as well at the second stop.

 

[AsthmaField]

So, what would you do @casmith07 ?

 

[fortdick]

Leave it.

Elliott is going to be a monster and stars from one team rarely recapture their mojo at a second stop.

Without knowing the pick, it is an easy no for me.

What? Look at Murray!

 

[tyke1doe]

Leave it.

 

[AsthmaField]

What? Look at Murray!

Yeah, maybe he'll have better luck on his 3rd team.

 

[ksadler1]

Without question, leave it. Only way that deal would be feasible is if there was no cap. We'd basically be trading our oline for them because we'd never be able to afford the oline and them. I'd rather finish this ride, with Zeke, and see where it goes.....

Murray had one great year behind arguably one of the best O-lines in many many years. What exactly are we looking at?.....

 

[AsthmaField]

Murray's had one great year

Then we are in agreement, you and I.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I would leave it. With Jones already on our roster I don't see the point. We cannot afford to lose skill position talent on offense.

 

[Hoofbite]

It's a 2nd, or it's a 5th. You don't know until you pull the trigger. Whats your call?

That's not how trades work.

Hard pass. Elliott is 20 years old at a key position for our team identity, and looks to be elite from early going.

A safety won't bring us a Super Bowl, but we absolutely could run our way to a Super Bowl with Elliott.

Thanks for playing, Buzz Killington.

I wouldnt make the trade, but I couldnt disagree more with this portion of the post.

A safety doesn't really help us much if we don't have a pass rush. No defensive back can cover forever.

Would you do it if they offered you both guys and the draft pick? Cause that's a lot of money tied up in the secondary.

No. I like our secondary enough to make a run. I'll lean on the side of youth and continue to draft well.

He may very well be, GDRB, but he wouldn't be as effective in Dallas, IMHO.

 

[DeaconMoss]

Id trade zeke for earl thomas striaght up in a pair of seconds
