Brian Thomas trade talk

Being mentioned on a few “sites.”

I know I know….but who really knows

It’s the offseason and we need some new threads

I’m with you Mr Jizz. If the Jags don’t want him, what’s wrong with him? He’s obviously talented and coming off a down year. I guess it comes down to price, what are you willing to trade for a guy with 2 years left on his rookie deal? 3rd rounder is the highest I would go.

I’m wondering if we double dip in free agency WR market and trade DK away,

I don’t see a 3rd rounder getting it done

But

I’d run like Colbert to the podium drafting Terrell Edmunds if that’s all it took

I don't see Rooney trying to convert cap into draft picks. He still wants that playoff "lottery ticket", so more rebuild the plane in the air than starting from scratch.

The kicker is they HAVE to spend like 90% of the cap. So guys are going to be overpaid when the talent is a bit thin and you don't have a franchise QB.

Otherwise, I completely agree what they SHOULD do is restructure Watt and DK to make them attractive trade values. Then you have massive cap space in 2028 and beyond to work with, in addition to a boatload of draft picks.

The wildcard is McCarthy got a 5-yr deal. And with his pedigree, presumably he's given ample runway to build the team he wants. And he can do A LOT to re-shape the team in just 2 offseasons.

If they're going to become players in the bigger time FA market, then that last in the league NFLPA rankings thing may actually have to be addressed.

Jizz endorses the comment above

Hey Rooney you cheap ass mfer, put a crowbar in your wallet and spend some money on the facilities.

Fucking loser

Do you think that's really much of a factor after money and winning a SB?

How much more money, really, would it take for you to play for PIT over MIA? My guess is taxes and location are much bigger deciding factors than facilities.

Facilities didn't seem to hurt us getting washed up FAs who were thrilled to join Club Tomlin. Don't think we've lost any of our own players, either, that we were willing to pay.

Well, since you can take winning a SB out of the equation for the time being, it jumps to #2 on the list, and everybody has money.

You're assuming those washed up FAs had better options....

And you have no idea on that last part, haha. We've definitely had guys leave. Whether or not it was because "we didn't want to pay them" is anyone's guess. There's players we as fans certainly didn't want them to pay, but that doesn't mean the team didn't want to (and god knows they've paid plenty of players they shouldn't have in the past).

Another thing you don't know is how much we've overpaid guys to either come here or stay here in spite of crap facilities.

As I said in the other thread, I'm not at all saying facilities are the top priority in forming a championship caliber team. It might not even be top 5. But to pretend it's a complete non-factor is nuts.

Hell, I've turned down jobs in my own industry because I toured the building and realized I didn't want to spend 8+ hours per day in their beige and concrete cubicle farm.

There's no way that millionaires don't think about this stuff on some level. And if it's they do think of it, at any level, then ignoring is stupid.

And remember, their bad rating isn't just about the facilities, it's also about things like game day accommodations given to families.

Penguins are prime example of what the benefits of this stuff. They're constantly doing things for player families and making sure their players have what they need to focus on their jobs. And you hear quotes from players and incoming free agents all the time about much they appreciate those things.

I think fans may overate winning a Super Bowl when it comes to players free agency priority.

Indeed. Five pissers for 85 dudes forced to stay on the field and drink Gatorade for 2 hours before halftime and then till the end of a game is pretty damn terrible though.

Come to think of it, no wonder we've sucked at halftime adjustments for 25 years.
