The Kyrie effect in case it gets out that they've been taking calls he won't get mad like Kyrie and request a trade again. 

Kyrie left because LeBron is a terrible teammate not because the Cavs were entertaining calls about him.

We offer a 3rd....they decline and counter with our 2nd. We pass and decide on a 3rd this year + 5th in '19 maybe.

If we let Norwell and Star walk, we should net a couple of solid comp picks next year. Gotta think one third this year (essentially KB for Bryant) and a later pick next year (means nothing with the comp picks) would get us a helluva playmaker for Cam.

Maybe the moves we're making now aren't necessarily for Norwell/Star/Watkins, but a potential extension for Martavis after 2018. He will be in his prime on a prove-it deal. 

Martavis Bryant 2018 contract: $705k

Jarvis Landry 2018 expected contract: $14M/yr.

Sammy Watkins 2018 expected contract: $7-8M/yr.

Now, maybe Bryant wants a new contract upon the trade which could get tricky given his past...but Bryant is my numero uno desire for this offense heading into 2018.

I was going off that report he got mad after he heard they were talking to people openly about trading him. But yea Bron suspects as a teammate unless your Dwade.

  Sounds like a good plan. I’ve been leaning towards this scenario for awhile now. Like the comp pick angle and upside is tremendous. I’ll risk a 3rd(and something late) for that. And the salary gives some freedom to address another position by signing a player that gets cut.

  Although I think they are trying to drive his price, the Steelers would be better off keeping him. They are still SB contenders and Bryant gives them great insurance in case of injury. Plus he’s one nice 3rd WR that allows JuJu to play the slot. Hard to say if that’s worth a 3rd to them, at this time. But Bryant isn’t going to be happy being the 4th option in the passing game, and they may just want to get something while they can.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
