no. Bc you can obtain the #1 without the dead cap. What a silly statement,  haha.

CMC and the D can fug around and win you a couple of games though.  Players don't tank.  If you put them on the field they are going to play.

Thats no reason to trade CMC for dirt and eat dead cap. There is no rationale in that decision. If its a blwon season, then they would reduce CMC touches... and I have yet to see the defense win us a game with this offense we are fielding over the last 3 years.

You trade CMC to guarantee the first overall and pick up another first round pick (and more) for the next staff. 

You keep CMC, you might mess around and lose the top overall pick...and then you are just left with a RB that will be too old after the upcoming rebuild is ready to do something.   And you have an incoming staff that doesn't have a lot of draft capital. 

and I assume that logic is why they are reportedly in talks as we speak. 

did they reduce CMC's touches last week? That game was probably called more to injure CMC than anyone that he has ever played here.  Because it's the only game the illusion of the forward pass was essentially removed.  These coaches aren't going to here.  And it's too early to rest/protect CMC and put everyone else in meat grinder and not have the locker room turn to utter poo. 

plus, I operate under the logic guys like CMC have already requested out.

this changes the context of our conversation though. I agree with getting another first round pick. You orginally quoted me when I said the trade wouldnt be worth the dead cap if we only got a 3rd and 4th round pick.

I mean, I'm talking about trading CMC from a realistic stand point.  There are pros and cons.  I thought you were just mentioning one of the cons.  Granted, I have read all this thread.  Can't really argue yes or no by removing everything else that would be involved.

That same post I shared that I would be alright if we got good compensation. However, if we got poo compensation, it wouldnt be worth it. The dead cap and dropping of an elite player who could support a young QB for late mid round picks is just a waste and short sighted.

im not sure what you mean, im sorry.

Sorry I might have quoted the wrong person.  It was in reference to us locking down the number 1 pick and how trading CMC might be worth that.  If we finish high enough to get one of the big 3 QBs I don't think if there is a huge drop off from 1-3.

my bad then.  

yeah, I agree with that.  You got to get at least a first rounder.   But yeah, they can get that I am fine with him leaving.

    • Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.
    • I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.  
    • I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
