I have immense power, but I'm a beneficent overlord. I don't want you guys seeing me banning fools and then getting stressed out that you might be next.

Though, seriously, you might be next. Watch your back.
I know I might! That's why I stopped saying Garrett Sucks!!! Lol

Yep, I can absolutely see that scenario happening if this trade goes down this way.
How far would we have to trade down in the first to pick up a second round pick, and where would that second round pick be? Those are the questions that only time can answer.

If they are giving up a 2, trade it for a younger cheaper player like James. It is not that complicated.
wait wut...this is straight up incorrect

If they trade a 2 for ET, they are still getting a starter with their pick at 19.

If they trade a 2 for James, they'd have to include 19 and are only getting one player.

I dont think we can get a 2 from this years draft unless someone is desperate.

The good news is, you aren't going anywhere.
The bad news is, the franchise tender for a moderator at CZ is 'a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.'

It's funny that you say that. We used to use the phrase "It's better than a sharp stick in the eye" --a lot. One morning we said it about a dozen times over various things on our way to the deer woods to hunt whitetail deer.

Later that morning one of the guys literally returned having literally stuck a small sharp tree branch in the white part of his eye. It was ironic, but not really funny, if you know what I mean.

he is 29 they are going to extend him for 5 years and give up pick 50?

People should be fired for that.
He said 3-5 years. I'm not for the trade, but I think it's 50-50 on happening. Players play until they're 33-34 all the time.

Your way gets us Derwin James.
Trading a second gets us ET and whoever we pick with the 1.

I don't like the idea of trading the 2 but your idea is worse.

Thomas is less likely to bust, but would cost us a lot more money.

I'm putting on my safety goggles.

But with James, you get a player for 7-10 years.

How many years does ET have left? 2? 3? 4?
