Sounds like a guy who doesn't really care about playing anymore or he wants to get released instead of traded to have control of where he goes.

No trade partner wants to hear that.

I can't recall any player trying to play hardball with the Steelers and coming out on top. No way they're going to just release arguably the best WR in football. Especially knowing that it would be HIGHLY likely that would have the way for him to go to the Patriots.

It's funny all these AB threads bashing him, but I guarantee you the people bashing him would be his biggest fans if he was traded to Carolina.

I kind of want this happen just to laugh at all the negative comments afterwards.lol

I would be excited and certainly hope for the best, but I'd rather we use that cap space and draft assets to shore up far bigger roster weaknesses.

For a guy wanting to be traded and call his own shots as to where he goes, he's probably getting dangerously close to going down that "conduct detrimental to the team" road with a franchise who probably wouldn't hesitate to take that road.

I agree and part of me likes what he is doing.

I think we'd all love to have AB it's just at what cost?

If he can figure out how to get released I'm sure Cam will be his first phonecall.

 

This. In a vacuum, who wouldn't want to add one of the NFL's elite WRs? The problem is that nothing happens in a vacuum. We'd have to trade valuable draft assets to get him and he'd eat up the majority of our remaining cap space. Adding AB would virtually guarantee that nothing else of substance gets addressed via FA and given our holes that would be a problem.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
