Pitts and Henry

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

Yeah he went from old man Ryan to young man Ridder, who may or may not get better. His careless football protection cost them that last game.
He could be a Kelce type if he had Mahomes, or even Burrow as his QB.

Imagine him in Miami.

These 2 would put our offense over the top. A real TE and RB. Make it happen Jerry!

Like having Christmas a month early.

Mazi and Lance for Henry

No way. Henry is not worth that much.

Are you serious?

 

[jazzcat22]

Are you serious?

Yes. Henry for a 3rd tops, that can go for a 2nd if we reach the NFCCG or SB. That is the highest to go. Dallas does not have a 4th or 5th, and doubt they take a 6th. So possibly a 2025 pick as well, mid rounds.
Plus Titans eat most of his pay. Henry would be a rental basically as his contract is up. And he may want a big contract as well.

But Stephen and Jerry aren't the Eagles to pull off a late round pick.

If you go after both players we’ll be lucky to have a couple of picks in next April’s draft. We’ve already given up three picks for Trey Lance and Cooks.

 

[Typhus]

We need to offer some players to the Titans to get Henry.
Make your case for who they would be, but the Titans know they are in rebuild mode, and looking for cheap contracts, and a way out of others.

Since when has Pitts ever lived upto the hype? Fergy has been fine but they need to continue to work him instead of gallup.

Hmmm… this is his 3rd season. In his only season with an established QB (fading at that) he produced 1000 yard receiving. He’s on pace this year for 60rec and 725 yards with essentially a 1st year QB.

Atlanta is 4-3 with essentially a 1st year QB in a division they could possibly win. Pitts is on pace for 60 rec and 725 yards. In his only season with an established QB he produced 1000 yards. He was a top 10 pick 3 drafts ago. What incentive is their for Atlanta to take away that safety valve from their emerging QB for anything less than a 1st and 3rd. This ain’t Madden and GMs don’t have some underlying desire to commit career suicide!

Cooks pick was this years draft, but I believe we get a 6th from the Texans in 2024. The 5th in 2024 goes to whoever we traded with to move up to get Eric Scott, maybe it was KC or LV.

We should have 1,2,3,6,7 and possibility a 5 and 6 for comp picks, Schultz and McGovern, but could change based on incentives of all FA”s.

Mazi and Lance

Not that I would pay that, but that would get it done.

 

[Hardline]

Atlanta isn't trading Pitts. He is elite talent that is ready to break out. Him and Bijan Robinson will be centerpieces of that offense for years.
Henry is actually in the realm of possibility. He is still highly productive and would greatly help this team

1. Ridder is a second year guy, doesn't matter he sat mostly to learn.
2. But as far as pitts goes he's really nothing all that special. He would be a waste here in this offense.

“Essentially” … he had a whopping 4 starts as a rookie. Add the 7 this year makes 11 starts. “Essentially” a first year starter.

Pitts produced 68 rec fo1025 yards his rookie season…. His only season with an established starting QB. He’s on pace for 60 rec and 725 yards this season with “essentially” a first year starting QB. But hey, let’s place his bust status on the one outlier season he was playing with a hodgepodge of QBs who shouldn’t have been in the league much less actually playing!

The number of starts is irrelevant. He's not learning how to throw a ball for the 1st time he was learning the system year 1. Just because he didn't play doesn't mean you disregard all the work and learning he did. It's year 2 for him.

As far as pitts goes. He was over drafted due to hype and yes he was good but I don't think he was worth it. And much depends how you use him. Mikes system wouldn't use his receiving skills as much as they are now. They didn't bring in schoony because he was a better catching TE than fergy. They brought in schoonmaker because they thought he was a better blocker with catching ability. Ferguson is more than capable if they want to use him as a receiving te. No need to waste more draft capital to get pitts, develop what they have would be better.

Never not once suggested they trade for Pitts … not feasible. If you read the post directly after my initial response to you that should be obvious. You’re just greatly underestimating his skillset.
As for Schoonmaker, he’s was basically taken with a 3rd with the hopes of developing him into a dual TE with #1 attributes. Something Ferguson does not have nor does he have the athleticism to develop!

Glad all those picks aren’t from this draft coming up next April.

There isn't anything wrong the Cowboys TE's and RB's. It's the scheme and QB.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Since never. Remember when he was supposed to be the best TE in the last 20 years?

 

[joseephuss]

Jonnu Smith is essentially having the same statistical year as Pitts, but on fewer targets for the Falcons.
