Kyle Bailey seems to be more and more convinced that Burns won’t be here after the trade deadline, so probably yeah

unfortunate to watch this team get so close to a competitive roster then start stripping down all the talent. Should’ve included Burns instead of Moore in the Bears deal. Offense is more valuable than defense, Moore was already signed, and he actually wanted to be here. 

A pass rusher is more valuable than a WR in a vacuum, but I completely agree with you here. I bet they made Burns untouchable, and now we're going to have to ship him out anyway for less after turning down two trades for him.

Last i seen higgins got cracked ribs, out 1-3 games.

 

Im like you, there are no #1 WR on the trade market. (i dont hold brown or even prime higgins as 1s)

i saw he was playing this weekend this morning. Did they announce they are sitting him? That timeline actually works out for us - if we did this

I still don't understand how people can honestly think Higgins isn't a #1

Far too often in today's NFL fans, they view things in terms of fantasy football, not real life football.

No, Higgins isn't a WR1 in fantasy football, he's "just a 2" for fantasy, but there are 32 teams in the NFL, if you don't think he's one of the top 32 WRs in the league, you don't know football.

No, he's not a Top 10 guy, but only 10 teams can have a top 10 guy, and that's if no teams have two of them (like the Dolphins might with Tyreek and Waddle).

But YES, Higgins is without question a WR1 in real life NFL football, no question about it.

Having said that, not sure the Bengals would give him to us for what I'd like, I'd do Burns for Higgins and a high pick (I'd like a first but don't think they do that, maybe a 2nd).  But I'm not sure they do that before they know they can't make a playoff run this year, and even then, not sure they're trading Higgins plus a pick for a player they have to give a big contract to, more likely will just trade Higgins for a pick.

Huh? Howell has Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson and Curtis Samuel as a slot (where he belongs). I'd trade every skill player we have for Terry Mclaurin.

Yoooo samuel LOL at that!! Samuel even healthy(another story), got what a barely above 500 yards twice in his 7 year career?? (i think) 

its scary terry and not much else form TEs, RBs, and 2-5 WRs. Plus LOLLOLOLO at their OL and paper its one of worst and hes still able to make play after play.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
