Will DJ Moore be back next year?

No doubt we need him, but of all players who would make sense to trade, he would have to be near the top of the list.  He would attract offers, and with RA playing well and Curtis developing nicely, an argument could be made that he would bring in enough of a return to warrant a trade. 

For what it's worth, I personally want to keep him.

It's a very interesting topic and appreciate you for making a thread that doesn't include "QB" in the title haha. In all seriousness, I'm in the same boat as you, I want to keep him. It really comes down to if he's going to be asking for WR1 type money, if so I think it's smart to package him for draft capital or an established lineman and then resign curtco and draft a later mid round WR. Side note - I still have high hopes for a name that might have been forgotten which would be Omar Bayless, he was balling out and even getting high praise from Rhule before his injury.

I made a post during the offseason of Funchess' last year with us and argued we should get value from him now and make a trade. I was made fun of. We missed a chance on that one. DJ I'd love to keep, but having three WRs eating up a large chunk of the salary cap is not viable imo.

I'm gonna say yes, but if we have to trade up for a QB, he could be part of the package.

I think it would be a mistake to trade him though. He's our most talented WR and he's only 23.

The mere idea Hurney trading up for a QB and DJ being included makes me nauseous

whelp, we could get a second or maybe even a later first.  he's that good, even with his second contract looming and knowing what his position make these days.  One thing in our advantage....lots of flashy WRs come out every year....the question is, will they bust?  will they play to their potential and then become a diva/pain in the ass distraction?  He's prove to be very good on and off the field, quiet performer who has succeeded despite horrible QB play and play calling.

He's got value.   I like him a lot better than Curtis, but Curtis will be cheaper to sign, and I like Robby as WR 1.  I don't see a way we can pay DJ and extend Robby after next year.

And we could use an extra top 50 pick in a big way.

When you make a player your first round pick. You are saying he's apart of your future.  He has done nothing wrong to not continue to believe he's part of the future.  It makes no sense to trade a former 1st rounder and another first rounder for a QB unless you're talking about the only two franchise QBs in this draft.  And to be honest the cost is going higher than Moore and our #1 pick in 2021.

I personally would be upset because he's is a talented WR and can win contested balls.    Moore, Samuel and Anderson are the best trio in the NFL.  How long Anderson will be here is unknown.  You lose Anderson in a year or two in Free Agency and the next thing you know our #1 WR is Samuel.

So no, I am 100% against trading Moore.

Looking at recent seasons of TB, ARI, CLE, SEA, MIN, DAL, BUF, LAR, KC ... I think the league is turning into 3 receiving threats plus a back who can catch passes. Money is being spent on offense for these franchises. I believe in Rhule/Brady system, the purpose is to have as many weapons on the field at once.

 

that’s being said, I don’t see us trading Moore. He is cheap talent right now, for at least another 2 years.

    • Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.
    • It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
    • I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
