Can't see them getting it. Not for a 28 year old safety in the last year of his contract who will need a new deal and who's body might be giving out on him. He's been pretty fragile the last two seasons.

He has had a bruised heel and a broken leg the last two years right?

Not sure what his issues were but he was mulling retirement at one point. Now whether that was real due to the injuries or other factors or just frustration at the time, who knows.

A first rounder is basically a 5 year starter for cheap. You don't give that up for a 29 year old. 

This year's talent reminds me of the 2015 draft. I believe if you are going to trade your first for an elite player... this is the year to do it. Thomas has been the best safety in the league for three years running.

If you want to win a SB in the next two-three years he is not a bad addition.

It was emotions. You are correct. He broke his leg against us breaking up a pass. The bruised heel was a nagging injury last year but he still ended up being the best FS in the league.  Where our defense is at age wise and talent, I would probably ship our 1st out for him and a 3rd

 

*as long as we come to terms on a new 3 year extension*

    • Nfl leaders don't look at the population of just the city itself.  Charlotte has three of the top fifty combined statistical areas within a 1 to 1.5 hour drive.  Charlotte, Greensboro/WS/High Point, and Greenville Spartanburg.  Those three statistical areas include nearly 7 million people.  Other than Raleigh, the only one in the top fifty within an hour and half of raleigh is Greensboro.  So only about 4-5 million people.  Charlotte has many more people to draw from.   Also, many of the surrounding communities for Raleigh are not native born.  If memory serves, many still refer to Cary as Containment area for relocated Yankees.  One of the reasons the Canes do so well is a significant portion of the population are people who moved from Northern Areas.  Would that population translate into support for a NFL team?  Hard to say, but I see a tremendous amount of Giants/Jets jerseys in the triangle when I forced to endure the crazy traffic on 40/85.
