Oh everyone seems happy? lemme bring up a roster move I didn't like so I can keep that negativity train rolling

Guy is relatively new to the team, has been hurt, and we have one of the most talented secondaries overall in the league and he's being thrown under the bus?  DAMN!

Imagine regretting trading THE dan Arnold

Bouye signed 2 years for 7 million I do believe. He'll be back.

assuming Gilmore resigns, you trade that contract.

I'm not sure if the Henderson deal was a mistake, and I'm not sure how anyone could be at this point.  That trade could easily have been one that looks to next year.  We just don't know yet.

Would I like to see Henderson on the field so we can get a better idea of what he brings?  Yes, of course.  But at the same time, do I really want to shake up what looks like a really, really good defense?  Not especially.

Who said to give up on him? He just hasn't shown any ability to play yet.

What other way am I supposed to take the OP? 

It's not all that was said, but the first paragraph says it all.

"I’m just gonna go ahead and mark this trade under FAILURE. It was a total knee jerk move to replace Jaycee Horn and it has failed. "

The trade was always seen as a buy low, future thinking move on a guy with insane potential. Nothing about that has changed so far. I don't care what Arnold is doing in Jacksonville; we were barely using him and he was mostly taking snaps better reserved for Tremble. We swapped a 3rd for what will probably be the 2nd pick of the 5th round; you can't ignore the latter aspect of that, especially considering OP is touting the rise of Taylor who was drafted in the latter half of the 5th himself. 

It could absolutely ultimately be a terrible trade. That determination can be decided in about 2 years. We have no need for CJ this year when we're stacked in the CB department. Who cares if he's inactive where he can focus on getting healthy and learning the defense, vs seeing 15% of snaps per game, especially with the defense playing as good as it is now. With Gilmore and Jackson free agents, CJ can be a cheap option to replace one of them. And it saves us from being desperate to overpay either/both or draft a replacement in 2022 when we were already down our 2nd and 4th. It's not hard to envision CJ elevating to a 3rd/4th CB next year with significant time during inevitable injuries by starters, then turning into a solid starter the following year. Then the trade is justifiable. If not, then yeah, you win some, you lose some. Getting upset about it now is silly.

It seems like Hepcat is just a miserable poster. Even when things are going well, he’s posting about when/how the other shoe will drop. What an awful way to follow a team.

I love the trade. A 3rd round pick is not worth a lot. 

I love that our team swings for the fences.

Or we could discuss all the stuff happening, good and bad. This place isn't supposed to be your morning Xanax. Even the best teams have things that can be negative. 

In itself it's not a big deal but when combined with the other moves made, it's going to be part of the draft hurdle.

Listen I understand that you're a cynical nihilist and will always see things as glass half-empty, but when one of the most beloved players in the franchise's history mends old wounds and re-signs with the team, most people are not going to appreciate a wet blanket being thrown on the celebration by a serial doom-poster, whose only intention, it seems, is to bring the mood down. I mean we don't even know how the CJ trade will end up working out so why pick now to bitch about it?

I say trade him for a 3rd if can, resign Gilmore and DJax 

We are not keeping both, keep whichever one plays better rest of the year and give the other money to Reddick.

Some of us are big boys who can handle talking about multiple subjects, from the highest highs to the lowest lowes without making it a 'mood first' thing, whatever that is.

It is a subject that will continue into the offseason. The fact you follow the 'serial doom poster' around to whine says more about you then him.
