Joe Haden: A Fan's Midseason Wetdream

I believe that was a title of an unreleased Shakespeare work.  Anyway, last year, we were all stoked when Gettleman swung a deal out of nowhere for much needed pass rush help in the form of (likely) future hall of famer, Jared Allen.  I just have to wonder if he works some more Gettlemagic (the good kind) today, with the target being Joe Haden?

I'm not sure how well that works scheme wise, as we predominantly run zone and Haden has long been regarded as a man corner.  Some guys can play both equally well, and then again, we could also make some adjustments scheme-wise to make it work.

Regardless, i know this isnt the NBA or MLB and the trade deadline isnt nearly as active as theirs, but that being said, I really hope we try to swing a deal for Haden.  That would go a long way in healing the wounds left from Norman's departure, and could set us in a great position for the rest of the season and moving forward.

This trade needs to happen. Makes too much sense. With the pass rush coming back to life this past week by adding Haden which we can afford for not only this year but years to come, this fills a huge hole that formed when letting Norman walk.  Haden, Bradberry, and Leonard at nickel would help the defense greatly.

it would be a great way for Gettleman to show contrition for his dumb@$$ moves this offseason and half @$$ed attempt to cover them up. 

That being said, there is more to this than playing Madden GM and signing the guy. We would have to give up something that would likely piss off fans and, admittedly I haven't looked, i'd imagine he doesn't have a small contract.

I think the fact we were undefeated had a lot to do w/ Gettlemen pulling the trigger on Allen last year.

my gut says that since we are 2-5 we do nothing

I think we stand pat as well, but i'm hoping for this trade if we do pull anything off...  i think just as our record last year influenced the allen deal, i think our talent dictates it still this season.  While our record isnt great as of now, our dominant performance Sunday reignited a lot of belief and excitement that this team is still capable of making a run.  Our core talent base is unparalled, so despite the record, i'd like to think Gettleman still approaches it as "we're all in," despite his offseason flubs.

I don't. This season ain't dead. Plus, the long term always has to be a consideration.

His current deal was 5 years/$67.5M.  Cap hit for this year is $13.4M.  Next year it is $14.4M?  I don't know as much as I should about trades, but would a restructure be in the works?  How could Carolina frame this trade to avoid the high cap hit, especially with a player that has shown so little this season (I understand he has a "supposed" groin injury).

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
