Possible trade idea involving Lamb

[conner01]

I would certainly be happy to get more, but I'm being mindful of the fact that CeeDee is in a contract year. So, the Ravens may not be willing to give up that much. But, I think a 1 and another pick or a player like Bateman would be a good return.

That’s why if you wasn’t extending him he should have been traded before the draft so you could have replaced him now. But I don’t trade my elite players, I trade the avg to good and keep the elite

 

[conner01]

Getting a 1st rd pick from the Ravens is like getting a 2nd...What would that 1st be like in the late 20's to 30ish pick??

I guess the theory is their pick would be late but without a reciever ours would be pretty high lol

 

[rambo2]

I’m ready for change of any kind at this point. 9 years of the same same I’m willing to roll the dice. You are content with the same Captain at the helm?

Of course, he is in his prime and I like having a good team. They have fixed their problem at linebacker. I like what I am seeing with the oline and receiver.

 

[CWR]

Hes arguably a top 5 wr in the game. You have guys like Reek, Chase, Jefferson and who else can you honestly put ahead of CD now?

It's not enough compensation for me. We'd take a big hit in talent, and have a bunch of wr2/3s.

You only consider that deal is you're flat out rebuilding. Even then I think he's worth more. Of course this is from the same brain trust that sold Coop for nothing and paid a guy who retired a year or two later. Lol

Any trade that has to be explained with more than 5 sentences should be forgotten immediately.

We draft well except like last year we took Mazi six rounds too early and literally may get zero from the class ever.
Honestly, Ceedee is the one of the three I’d keep.
I’d trade Parsons and let Dak walk.

So, I was chatting with a friend of mine who is a Ravens fan. He and I came up with a possible trade idea involving Lamb. I was wondering what you all would think?

So, as we were discussing what we thought of the NFL landscape, I mentioned that we probably aren't going to be able to keep Dak, Lamb, and Parsons. As far as I know, the Ravens have a solid amount of cap space. So, I mentioned that, especially with CeeDee holding out, there may be a way to trade him. So, what he and I thought of was this for a couple of scenarios for trading him to Baltimore. It should be noted that this would be a trade of him outside the conference, so it shouldn't cause too much harm to us (even though we do play Baltimore this year):

1. The Cowboys trade Lamb for a 1st and a 3rd. This gives the Cowboys a couple extra picks. The Ravens would have to resign him, but they should have the cap space to do that. Plus, Lamar would then have the options of throwing to Lamb, Flowers, Agholor, Bateman, or Mark Andrews with Derrick Henry out of the backfield. This gives them all the talent they should need to beat Kansas City. Meanwhile, the Cowboys would have an extra first to potentially draft a replacement for Lamb and an extra pick for whatever we want to do with it.
2. The Cowboys trade Lamb for a 1st and Rashod Bateman. Bateman is on the last year of his contract, but he'd be a nice addition in a combination with Cooks and Tolbert. Plus, he shouldn't be too much for the Cowboys to extend if he were to want to remain here. Or, if we let him walk, we would get a comp pick (likely a 3rd) when someone else resigns him. So, in essence, it'd be a 1st and a 3rd the following draft.

Either way, both options would benefit the Cowboys and the Ravens if the Cowboys and Ravens were to come to such an agreement. CeeDee Lamb is worth at least a first in a trade. They'd be able to resign him, and Lamar would probably push their FO to get Lamb. They'd have the talent to get past the Chiefs as they're much closer to a championship than we are. We would have an extra pick and maybe a player in return to help expedite our rebuild. In essence, since we would then have 2 first round picks (plus maybe an extra pick or player). Depending on what we do at QB, we would either have the opportunity to draft a QB (if we let Dak walk) and a WR, trade up for a top QB (if we let Dak walk), or (if Dak stays) draft an olineman and a WR.

Basically, since we draft well, the Cowboys would be able to rebuild more quickly (especially with our defence sounding good in TC), while the Ravens would be getting a piece they'd need. I think it's a win-win. Plus, it makes the Cowboys a more likely contender in the near future with the extra draft capital, which benefits what we do well.

If you are doing that, then just tear the whole thing down. In fact if you do that, then we already screwed up. Because if you are thinking of moving Lamb, you should have moved Dak months and months ago (and no, a no trade clause doesn't mean you can't trade him - Dak and his agent could have worked on finding landing spots for him).

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I knew you could never trust furries ......... stop trying to trade one of our 2 top players!

Hey, we're fun people lol. Plus, I get that trading him is tough, but I'd rather see what we can get than letting him walk if we can't extend him.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

The Cowboys aren't trading Lamb. They are actually trying to win and trading him doesn't fit their agenda.

Sure, but if they can't extend Lamb, why not see how much we can get for him?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

It’s going to be very difficult to re-sign all three. I don’t see the Cowboys trading CeeDee especially considering Dak may want to test free agency. The Cowboys would be lucky to win 5-6 games in 2025 without Dak and CeeDee. DLaw could also be gone after the 2024 season. We would likely be a cellar dweller in the NFC East for quite some time with the loss of those players.

Sure, but, if there are other players realize that we may not be able to keep when their contracts are up, I'd like to see our FO shop them and see what they can get. You can only get a max of 4 comp picks, so why not see what you can get for the other players?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

At worse, Cee Dee is a top-5 receiver and entering his prime. No way I am trading him. Between him, Dak, and Parsons, CD is the one I would break the bank for.

Probably, and Parsons would be the other one I'd want to keep.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I think that they might consider trading Parsons after the season. That would give them draft capital that they could use for several players and maybe even a qb for the future.

Especially if it's a bunch of firsts. I would like to keep Parsons, but I'd have no problem with them shopping him and getting a massive haul for him.

 

[KJJ]

Here we go again.

Here we go again? Where did I ever mention what our record might be without Dak AND CeeDee? You would still like our chances of having a contending team without BOTH those players in 2025? Not to mention DLaw could be gone as well.

 

[KJJ]

Sure, but, if there are other players realize that we may not be able to keep when their contracts are up, I'd like to see our FO shop them and see what they can get. You can only get a max of 4 comp picks, so why not see what you can get for the other players?

The only players we’re concerned about trying to keep are Dak, CeeDee and Parsons. We can’t shop Dak and it would be stupid to shop CeeDee, he’s one of our best players. We’re not KC where we can afford to lose an elite WR and still win. Draft picks don’t guarantee you anything. I don’t like the idea of moving on from a great player for a draft pick or two.

so trade a top 2 WR for a potential 32nd pick in the draft? how does that make sense? we paid more for Cooper and he wasn't anything close to lamb.

Ravens would do this in a heartbeat and we would be the losers.

I'd obviously love to get more than that. I just also know how stingy they are in trades.

I credit you for saying you all and not y'all

I have no doubt that Jerry and Stephen have no real intention of signing CeeDee right now. I think they'd love to have him at their price, but they aren't worried. They know that CeeDee will come back soon to collect the check. They will use the franchise tag on him next season. That is where we will see Micah hold out of camp. The Cowboys will do the same song and dance with him. I feel Dak is in his last season.

If they don't plan on giving Lamb a market deal, then trade him.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

Let's trade AJ Brown for Treylon Burks

I mean is the plan just to not win this year? You can't trade CD and not get players back .

Which is why if they even thought about trading Lamb for picks, then they should have moved other guys including Dak.

Because trading Lamb just screams rebuild. Which is why it would never happen. Jerry can't stomach a complete rebuild.
