TRADED Porter traded to Cowboys (2027/6th round, 2028/2nd round)

[RustyBourneHorse]

We were going to draft a corner high anyway which is a mixed bag for us. I’m fine with getting proven players in their prime.

Love GP, but if we can trade him away for a high pick or two and go into the ‘27 draft with multiple first and second day picks I’m totally fine with that. Yes having two elite WR’s is great, but that’s never been a consistent SB formula.

I’ll take a top 10 defense with Dak,CD,Flo and take our chances drafting a WR (which we do well) or signing another good WR2.

Same here. I'd be thrilled with this. And I think Flournoy would be a good WR2

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

How much in net savings/cost? At some point he has to go. June 1st cut?

I would think that he and Steele are ripe for shipping out.

I think Steele is definitely a good trade candidate. I think Bland will need to step up. If Bland returns to his 2023 form, we should have two lockdown CBs. That's huge, especially with Downs too. Our DBs shouldn't be completely useless finally

Oh no what did we give up, edit 2nd round pick

What a clickbait Tweet. Leaves out a 2nd in "2028". Technically accurate but purposely misleading.

I know this team still needs a pass rush, but corner is just as big an issue. Bland is no longer "that" guy. Revel is hurt and never may be more than an injury prone jag. Cobie Durant is a good player but not someone you want to rely on long term. Caelon Carson is taking up space at this point and who knows what they have in Devin Moore once he comes back.

Joey Porter is instantly the best CB on the team. Now you have to figure out how to keep him.

lol jerry is going all in here.
we have no pass rush. edge is way higher priority.

Which tells me we have no chance of Jerry folding his hand. He's all in with 2 pairs or trying to draw an inside straight.

Can you say delusional?

What team in the NFL today would trade significant draft capital for a wide receiver asking for north of $35 million per season with no less than $100 million guaranteed?

 

[Relayer]

maybe we can recoup a 2nd by moving a player

We could get more than that for Pickens. And with everything the roster needs he's a luxury we can't afford going forward.

 

[Relayer]

You won't hear me complaining. I wanted to see something different and different has been trade mode for this team that won't use free agency. It started last year and we've kicked it up a notch since then.

It may absolutely crash to the ground, but I'd rather see the bus burn to the ground than keep spinning its wheels.

don't worry about it. He's just complaining.

The Rams do it all the time. And the Bills could use him as he would be a difference maker there. I'm sure there are others.

 

[Relayer]

Conspiracy theory here: did Jerry get a bad bill of health? Why go ALL in on THIS team? It’s not 1 player away

He thinks he's Tampa or the Rams. There's a key element he's not seeing though.

 

[Relayer]

I'd say the chances of resigning Pickens just dropped to 0%, if they weren't already there.

And we'll let him walk for a comp pick hoping they can call it a free rental.
