Should we go after Vincent Jackson from Tampa Bay?

ok I'll play. I'd negotiate like this:

 

"Yeah, he's tall, but he's not as fast or young as he used to be. Your team is in shambles, with your 3rd coach, offensive, and defensive scheme in 4 years. You've traded away several draft picks, including a first rounder, for a 1-year rental on Darrell Revis. Since it's nearly impossible to sign away a franchise QB in free agency, you'll have to draft one, something you've tried and failed at repeatedly. Seems your best move is to trade for either RG3 or Kirk Cousins. How about I send you either DeAngelo Williams, Charles Godfrey, and the 7th round pick we received from Philadelphia for Kenjon Barner."

 

I send D-Will and Godfrey to make salary cap room for V-Jax since D-Will is older w/ a big $$$ contract and Godfrey is making too much $$$ to be a back-up safety and nickel CB. I'm willing to bet that either Whittaker, Reaves, or Seastrunk could spell Stewart with the perimeter runs.

 

With Munnerlyn and Mitchell getting plenty of snaps on their new teams and Ginn getting a score, we should get some compensatory picks in the draft to make up for the one we traded away. But since the comp picks can't be traded, use our remaining 6th rounder to move up in the 4th or 5th round to grab a guy like we did with Benwikere.

 

Do NOT trade away O-line or D-line. Big, fast guys are hard to find and small, fast guys are called CBs or Safety, and there's plenty of those around.

 

Tampa, after trading several of their picks for a QB, will have a viable offense with D-Will and Martin, WR Evans and Owusu, and TE Myers and Rastafarian-Jenkins or whatevs. Not gonna help their front 7, but their back 4 is better with Godfrey. And a pretty even swap salary-wise, too.

Other than no one would ever take that trade, we did not get a 7th rounder for Barner, since he did not make the 53 man roster.

Chill fella, it was for fun. How about giving it a try? You're Gettleman and the Bucs are willing to deal V_Jax and you want him. Make the deal happen. V-Jax has a $12 million salary and we have $7 million in room right now. Think about what the Bucs have on their roster, what we have on ours, what free agency will probably have available after this season, who the good prospects are in the draft, how well the Bucs have usually done in the draft, and how Gettleman has been approaching the draft.

 

That's how I approached this little What If I Could Be GM thing. It's like a fantasy football team, but with more moving parts to fit together. It really put into perspective how complex Gettleman's job is.

 

look forward to seeing what you come up with

      Yeah, honestly being a long-term backup is at least as much about being a good lockerroom presence and accepting your role as a supporting piece and not being a greasy wheel as much as it does about ability. Backup QB requires a completely different mindset than the starter and some guys just can't make that switch. It doesn't make them bad guys or locker room cancers or anything like that, it just makes them not what you're looking for in a long-term backup. You bring in that type of guy to compete. You don't bring in that type of guy if you're not looking for competition.

      We have some good pieces.  Enough to be competitive week to week.  Coaching seems to be improving but they’ve made it much harder on themselves than needed.  There are very good reasons to be optimistic about the future. However, I don’t trust them yet.  Wins are odd looking and mostly ugly.  Our opponents have to have a bad day for us to hang with them.  A lot of that is because we still haven’t figured out the most important position and will continue until it’s solved. I think Morgan has done a nice job in both the draft and FA so far.  He’s getting better each day he’s in that position. As far as the players listed, I’m pretty much in agreement.  XL and Bryce are not performing the way they should at this point.  I will say XL could see more success in a vertical passing attack to better utilize his speed. And as always, Fug Tepper.
