Looks like we came out on top with that trade. 

Right?

Sure we had to pay a part time OT (who wasn't bad, but missed half the year) in bitcoin, but we did get out of that contract.

It would be HILARIOUS if Trai got released, and we managed to sign him for a much cheaper contract.  Full circle?

This has already been brought up on twitter and Joe Person replied with a simple "no"

 

so if he's willing to be that definitive I guess there was more going on with him than we knew.

Turner literally stopped working the moment he signed the dotted line on that contract. Went from a potential all-pro guard to Kelvin Benjamin over night.

I feel like he’ll end up signing with the Cowboys. I remember that one report that said Jerry Jones really wanted to draft him but we took him before they were on the clock. 

Hell, I'd be for signing him back if he was still the guy we drafted. At his best he was among the best guards in the league. Then he got paid and the waistline and body fat percentage grew with the paycheck.

    • While I really hope things pan out for the young man, sometimes you've got to make a calculated guess on your returns. I wanted so bad to see us use our first round pick on a LB, C or TE this season, but I think this one injury changes everything. I might suggest taking the best and the second best OTs available in the draft with our first and second round picks. The injury to Icky really makes the first one a good choice and an affordable one. And Moton, who is long in the tooth, needs someone in the wings behind him.  This also means that BC is going to need to get a contract for this upcoming season both as a starter at LT and to train the younger player behind him. Also it means that we need to extend a solid contract to Cade Mays and lock him down as our Center for the next four years. Maybe Icky can recover fully and be a starting LT again, but the odds aren't in his favor. Maybe he could be back in line to play as a guard right as our current starters' contracts wind down. It's not pretty having to spend all your picks and money on the line, but it seems to be the wise investment in light of everything.
    • Unfortunate situation.  if one of the top LTs fall in the draft I think it’s a no brainer draft pick. Then if icky returns he can move to guard and replace one of our highly paid guards that are here now.   
    • I dont really expect anyone to have any character or values when the system doesn't. I would respect those who did though. College Football is losing what little interest I had in it. I wasn't against giving the athletes some control but whatever this system is will kill it over time.
