Would you trade KB for a first next year?

While him having a history of getting overweight in the offseason makes me question he dedication, we cannot trade him now.

Aside from the fact that the best he would bring us is a late 2nd or early 3rd, we would be cutting our own throat if we traded him.  I do believe he'll be 100% ready when the season starts, and will be a huge presence for us this season.  Imagine the difficulty teams will have trying to cover him, with his crazy catch radius, along with Olsen, McCaffrey, and Samuels.  Somebody is always going to be open.  But if you trade him, you make the defenses job much easier.

I expect that he will be the biggest weapon he's ever been for us this season (even if he doesn't get as many yards) because teams cannot focus the brunt of their pass defense on him anymore.  The threat he offers us will help make the offense a very dangerous group.

Then we can evaluate him next offseason.  But we can't even contemplate getting rid of him now...no matter what the pick.  I want a Super Bowl, and that means having every weapon we can get our hands on at our disposal.

No one is gonna offer that for Kelvin; he hasn't lived up to being a first round pick, even as late as he was taken. Now most of his value has worn off as there's only one year left on his rookie contract AND there's legitimate question as to whether they should exercise his option.

Jamie Collins netted a third, Dwayne Allen a fourth, Ealy only moved us a few spots in the second, Timmy Jernigan did the same for Baltimore in the third.

I'd be shocked at any offers earlier than a 4th, but they should jump at it if that happens.

thank you. dude effectively put up two thousand yard seasons in his first two playing years, both of which were incidentally down years on the offense.

he needs to get his poo together but dumping him would be tremendously shortsighted and detrimental to this offense

The offense was actually better when he wasn't playing. But hopefully with more speed added he we finally fit in.

About a month ago this board ripped Voth to shreds for asking a (not so obvious) question about KB's 5th year being picked up. Today on the Huddle there are multiple threads about KB not being motivated, us trading him, etc... We sure are a funny fan base.

    • Zavala was really bad his first year but I think he can still flash that unfortunately. Coaching? IDK. Inconvenience seems to be common.  Moton should just have played the year out to see what's what or they should have replaced him, whixh is a tall order for a team with so much else needing done. I just thought the reworked deal was dumb. Get cap but create another issue later. Just eat it and move on. I do think they were trying to create space for someone else but that's also a huge negative for me because the 'one player away mentality' has always been a failure that I can remember. Corbett was a known health issue, a waste of roster space really. BC has had a fractured ankle and a torn bicep so he isn't a huge shocker either, unlucky or injury prone at this point? Add in Moton and that unit was always suspect. Having both high priced OGs dealing with injuries 1 year removed from their big deals just seems like the chefs kiss to that entire build. So 2 known injury issues with starters, a backup that's probably injury prone now, Mays and then nobodies. I don't think I can call that decent depth, especially considering the 2 known starter issues coming into the year.
    • Just imagine how great it will be when they eventually expand the playoff to 24 teams, or more. There will still only be 3 or 4 teams that have a real chance of winning the national championship, but the money-making opportunity will be too irresistible.
    • Trading Hubbard should be a decision made based on the "future" of the team. If they deem Rico a wiser investment, long term, Hubbard is expendable. If they deem Hubbard the wiser investment, long term, Rico is expendable. That doesn't mean they should have a price that is less than acceptable, however.
