Should we have been in on Roquan?

Maybe I’m off base but after seeing the compensation, I would have been glad to send Chicago a 2nd rounder and a fifth for Roquan to have stud linebacker .  I see they also included former panther AJ Klein.  Hell we could have thrown in Shaq to maybe cancel out the 5th rounder as an upgrade over Klein. Thoughts huddle?

The biggest problem is you'd be getting him as a 1 year rental in a clearly lost season. Chicago didn't extend him cause he wanted a massive contract. You really want to give up significant draft capital for an inside linebacker you have to pay a fortune to extend? No way.

was hoping we could sign him in the upcoming offseason after his current contract is up that way we don't have to lose a draft pick. this defense is a stud linebacker and second pass rusher away from being a top 10 maybe top 5 defense

That sounds good at face value but smart teams don't tend to spend a ton on coverage linebackers. We could probably get a highly ranked rookie linebacker with one of our 2 2nd round picks if we really wanted to invest in it and we'd be getting them at 4 years and $9 million rather than the 4 years and $80 million Roquan is probably looking for.

Tough question. He is the top MLB in the league right now and he his play on the field supports him being paid that way. The value of a top notch MLB is the real question. I do miss the days of Luke, Beason, and Morgan, LB is a position of need for us too. I just don't think we can afford his contract, but I do think he is worth a 2nd and 5th round pick.

Coverage linebacker? Dude leads the league in tackles.

We're 2- 6 come the fug on... no one player we could trade for now would be worth the draft capital you'd have to give up.

Fiterrer and/or Rhule already made that mistake multiple times with Gilmore Henderson and Shenault hasn't contributed much either outside of 1 game. 

You're just shooting yourself in the foot repeatedly if you're consistently trading away picks on a team that's mediocre at very best (honestly we haven't even been good enough for that past several seasons) and horrendous at worse.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
