Before you totally flame me at least hear me out. I understand there were some reasons aside from the cap situation for Smitty being traded however...

 

This past year after week 8 the Kansas City Chiefs were 8-0 and the Atlanta Falcons were 3-4. The Chiefs tried to bring Gonzo home since the Falcons were an obvious train wreck and KC believed they had a shot at a ring. I believe they offered ATL a 6th round pick in exchange for Gonzo. Now Gonzo would have helped KC's offense tremendously IMO and Smitty's return may not have had the same impact as Gonzo returning.

 

However lets just say after week 8 we're 7-1 or 8-0 and making a huge run and the Ravens are having a down season. What would you say to giving up a 6th round pick to the Ravens for the possibility of giving Smitty a ring as well as adding another weapon to our offense? I know this is a big "what if" considering our WR corps may be having a great season up to that point. But I would just like to hear some of your thoughts on it because it has me thinking.

8-0 and we add a locker room distraction?

Last season half of the Huddle was screaming to trade for Josh Gordon. If our WR corps is struggling would you really be that opposed to trading for the greatest Panther of all time for a chance to get a ring?

if we're 8-0 with a struggling receiving corps then we're making up for it with team chemistry in some form.

 

you don't mess with 8-0

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
