Assuming this is even true, why the hell would Green Bay trade him away?

You shouldn't assume that.

The tweet quoted is from an account that makes sh-t up.

Poor Juan has been neutered...a shadow of his former self.  This title doesn't quite have the same juice as "Panthers on the verge of trading for superstar WR".

I thought those were titles were good fun. Who would complain about that?

 

Similarly I remember going to Costco, and the people checking receipts would always draw a cartoon on the back if the family had little kids. 
 

Then one day, they didn’t. Management made them stop because of a complaint.

Random X account that throw poo against the wall for clicks.

Keep it moving....

Yeah it was a running joke on these boards and was Juan's thing (along with homoerotic commentary).  I get it if it's against the rules, but it feels like clickbait threads are moderated much more heavily than personal attacks, bumping old threads, and off-topic threads on the main forum during the season which are all supposedly also against the rules.

I’ve been warned one more thread title like that and I’d be banned for life and have my penis lopped off and fed my myself terrible

I would have thought that's just an average Friday night for you.

What a sad state of affairs. From drafting the NFL equivalent of Steph Curry and the next Drew Brees to calling up any front office that will pickup the phone to see if they'll drop an elite WR into our laps.

I'm not sure what one has to do with the other.  Bills traded for Diggs for Josh Allen, Eagles traded for AJ Brown for Hurts, Jags traded for Calvin Ridley for Lawrence, Dolphins traded for Tyreek Hill for Tua, Bears traded for DJ Moore for Fields, Cardinals traded for DeAndre Hopkins for Kyler Murray.  And those are just the trades...not even considering the draft.  So I don't get the snark for the Panthers doing something that basically every other team in the NFL does for their young QB.  You draft a QB high, you go and get him a receiver...that seems to be the norm these days.  If this tweet is true (which there seems to be dispute about), then it's an exploratory phone call.  Something I would suspect happens far more often around the league than we hear about, with the vast majority not amounting to anything.

Sure but how many of those teams took the ass backwards approach of trading your best WR in years to draft your QB? We are victims of our own circumstance and Fitterer created this.

Which is exactly why I called put that in my comment. It doesn't even make sense, but I guess that's the point, right? Drum up conversation via ridiculousness.

So far we are trading for Jeudy, Hartman, and now Watson.

 

We about to be stacked!

MLFootball and a few other Twitter accounts like it (NFLrums, for example) have been called out by real reporters like Albert Breer and others for stealing news without attribution and occasionally mixing that with items that are completely made up.

They get reported, sometimes get taken down but then just come back with a new name.
