Robby Anderson being shopped?

[SBBlue]

This is my last reply because I hate this thread....if the rumor is true, I hate it, and if its false I hate the rumor.  OTA's are optional, that's what the O stands for.  There are many deserving vets who need a break from football unlike us un-athletic keyboard jockeys.  I am not going to read into this situation anymore and until evidence otherwise, I'm going to assume there's nothing there.

LOL.....why has this made people so upset. Literally any snippet of news sets people off.

The story is that the GM was looking to trade him, not that Anderson was looking to be traded.

And heck, we're not even sure that story is true.

Yes.  That is the story.  Which doesn’t make tons of sense on face value right now.   I questioned it being true. 

But if true… you ask why.   So I threw out some guesses about what a why could be if true.

and if true, we wouldn’t know the dynamics behind it if all we have is statement alone that he was looking to deal Robbie.   So you can’t make a blanket statement of fact that Robbie had no part in it.   He could.  We wouldn’t know at that point anything….outside of the fact their is an undisclosed reason the GM seeks to part with Robbie.

The O actually stands for organized, not optional. Not trying to be a d-bag about it, just making a clarification.

this is walterfootball so I think it's more connecting dots than any actual sourcing

i think with Darnold coming off the situation in new york they're going to err on the side of having too many options, and hedging against injury.

Hey thanks...I'm losing it...keep an eye on me.  I do that.  

OK...now THIS is my last post on this thread

Yeah...that's a huge reach that you're using to try to fit a narrative.

heck, if true?  Robbie is already going into this season on the last year of his contract.  He was a 1000+ WR last year.   He overproduced given expectations last year.  The best numbers of his career and the only year without Sam Darnold.  There could be beef over that with the new GM and Robbie's camp.    

I mean, it would make sense from a business perspective if you are Robbie to not like that position.  So basically his next contract (here or elsewhere).....will largely be influenced by how he looks with Sam Darnold this season.    Sam essentially sets up Robbie's next deal/future.  Robbie could be wanting an extension before the season starts and not liking that position. 

that would probably be my second guess after just selling high.

That's actually very reasonable, the guy join because of Rhule.

He could want to leave because of Sam.

Throw out the chemistry crap, Sam is a QB and Robbie a WR, not hard to play catch. Hell Robbie made Sam look decent to be honest.

Now Robby puts up his best numbers with Teddy, and tell him Watson being looked at, or maybe Stafford. Then it's Fields, Lance, Jones, a little talk if Wilson. But they traded for Sam, he was very quiet about that trade because the draft still hasn't happened. But then they pass on Fields, so it's known Sam the guy. Yeah, the only person in the building who knows Sam best is ready to pack his bags...smh...but we'll see.

 

I like how if he does dislike Sam in anyway he's being very mature for a athlete.

Robby gets traded then pulls a Teddy and says he didn't like the Sam trade, rather stuck with Teddy the huddle going have a meltdown...lmao

After he left the jets he took a swing at them and Sam...

If he wants to leave because of Sam, especially after all that talk about wanting to play for Coach Rhule, that would be pretty damn two-faced of him, don't you think?

it isn't a huge reach that just MAYBE a WR who thrived without Sam Darnold....might not be thrilled behind the scenes that his next contract/future is about to be tied to Sam Darnold.   Again, this is Robbie's last year of his contract.  Sam from the Jets is back in play to set Robbie's future after his breakout season. 

The only narrative, is trying to figure out a reason why the GM would do such a thing.   And it's not a huge reach if that is the premise we are discussing.  It would be a huge reach if I just randomly suggested it without that premise IMO. 

Again, I advocated to sign Sam Darnold right when the Watson thing blew up.  I was comfortable with it before many.  It was the right call at that time.   And I am not a Sam hater.   I just don't hype up that move as more than a Teddy replacement.

Speaking of which, Isn't Robby 28 years old?

Some other here say he's 30 when he really isn't.

It might not be because he dislikes Sam specifically but the scenario he finds himself in. 

It could just be he is in the last year of his contract coming off a breakout season.  It's a business.  It's not an ideal spot to go into this season like that.   Players want some security when they think they deserve it.  

Imagine if Robbie broke his leg week 2?  It's a perfectly reasonable stance that Robbie's team could of already been in serious talks with the new GM about Robbie's situation.  In fact, I would think that is likely a certainty.

Eh, I see a lot of speculation and not much else.

While it is highly doubtful we are "shopping" him, all sorts of names and ideas come up on draft day and a few days before.  If his name was trotted out, it was not necessarily shopping him as much as seeing if somebody would pay a king's ransom for him or anybody else.  That's the business.

But all the speculation over something that originated on Walter Football?  Next time I cross paths with the wino who hangs around near the center of town I'll ask him if he can confirm any of this.
