Can we start a new thread with just trade news? This one has gotten a little off-kilter. 

I doubt there will be much more trade news to talk about. Only an hour left to the deadline.

Surprise, Voth says don't expect any moves.

I would rather have Boldin than Calvin Johnson. You probably have to give up less, and Boldin may be better at this point considering Johnsons injury

What if he blows out his ACL? That is mortgaging too much of the future for 1 player.

But what if he catches the damn ball and we will a Super Bowl? Scared money don't make money. I can't see Brown/Bersin/Ginn catching a game winning TD pass in January. I'm sorry.

Boldin is hurt as well and wouldn't help much. He certainly isn't the missing piece for a Super Bowl run.

sorry if posted.  There's a reason I wanted Thomas so bad.  They want a kings ransom for him.

It absolutely would make sense for us to acquire Alshon Jeffery. He is young,tall, strong, physical receiver, and he is a baller. If we can lock him up for three or four years while Benjamin is still relatively cheap, then why not? The dude has proven that he can carry his load, and he can jump and contort his body mid-air to catch Cam's passes. Our receiving corps would be set for the next few years (while that window is wide open).

He's likely looking at a contract for over $10M/year and would probably take a 1st rounder to get him. I've thought about him and also CJ and they would both fit here perfectly and their skillsets would mesh with Cam extremely well but I just don't think it's worth it. Need to think about KK, Star, Josh and others going forward. Trading a high draft pick that DG can use to get a great played cheap for a guy who will be taking up a significant portion of our cap space isn't the best idea in my opinion.

The defense nearly cost this game.

True, but also won us this game along with a couple others this year. When your defense is on the field for an entire half, they will wear down.

No. It just becomes free agency talk for next year.

Deadline passed 

Deals can still be announced if they were already done, but negotiations are ended.
