We know our boy Scotty loves to wheel and deal, so you know his trigger finger is itching to make a deal we will later regret right about now. 

Our most valuable assets are probably:

  • Burns
  • Brown
  • Chinn

We don't have a first round pick next year, the cupboard is pretty bare. Pretend you are Scott Fitterer and you are tasked with unfuging the current situation you helped create. What are the best trade packages that you can come up with that might help this team this year and into the future?

Nope. I'm letting Fitts sink or swim with this roster he has assembled. If he can find some FA pieces or swing some low level trades involving late round picks or non-core players, fine. But I'm not letting him trade anymore valuable assets either in terms of players or future picks trying to band aid up these shotgun wounds. This is either gonna work or we're in the GM market this off-season.

I feel like I want to get out of this staggered thing we have going on with Coaches/GMs. I feel like we ride the next two years out, if Bryce fails and/or Reich does (probably linked together) we totally clean house and start fresh with a new GM who picks his coach rather than a coach he inherited.

Right there with you. We end up with 4 or less wins and Frank and Fitts both need to be shown the door, Fitts regardless. Evero is an excellent HC candidate but we need a FO with vision of the future, not one living in the past.

Trades for future assets should work.  This year is about getting our rookie QB developed.  I wouldn't be against seeing the if the Jets will offer something decent for Dalton, and I would see what Burns can get us.  We aren't in any shape to pay for a $30 million pass rusher.  Let a contender do that.

Hypothetical scenario:

You are Scotty 2 hotty. Just chillin, vibin at 0-3, watching the team lay another egg. The phone rings. It's the washington commies. They believe that they have their QB of the future in Sam Howell and want to bolster their pass rush.

They offer you Scary Terry and a 2nnd for Burns to be reunited with Rivera. Do you make this deal?

Burns and a third to Raiders for Adams and Chandler Jones. Don't think they'd bite but it would not hurt to send a teaser out and see how they feel. Jones is done there and they are paying Adams almost 30M per year. Getting an all star DE in exchange for an above average DE that hates you + freeing up 30M in cap has to be somewhat enticing to them. It's a win/win for both teams.

Andy Dalton is worth a bag of potato chips.  Recent history has shown the value.  You aren't getting anything of substance for an Andy Dalton.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
