Not suggesting this as a preferred alternative, but it crossed my mind so I'm curious to people's thoughts...

What if the suggested offer involved a first, an additional mid-round pick and Jahmyr Gibbs rather than Williams?

Id rather have that than Williams. Gibbs would be a much better safety valve than anything we have right now.

I keep thinking of this place shitting on Fitt for the CJ Henderson and a 5th for Arnold and a 3rd trade. 
 

That was a year removed from CJ being a top 10 pick. 

 

Now a lot of people are okay trading for Williams based on his draft status, while showing far less than CJ had in the NFL.

 

I would love to take a flyer on Williams, but the inconsistency is pretty funny. 
 

 

I would take any first for Burns right now.  Williams is just an interesting throw in.

For the record, I wasn't in that camp. Relatively low risk-high reward trades don't bother me at all.

I'd be OK with it, but I'd rather have Williams. Young receivers with first round talent are a great commodity in the NFL if they work out. RBs, even talented ones, come much easier, and a run game can be executed with  mid level talents, and by committee. Lastly, we'd miss the benefit of familiarity which can be kinda underrated if you look at Hurts and Smith as well Tua and Waddle. That familiarity angle is why I also proposed trying to acquire Metchie.

Send them Burns, Chinn, and Sanders for their 2024 1st, 2024 2nd, J Gibbs, and Brian Branch.

Only to select a pass rusher to replace him.lmao

 

If we trade Burns we need more than a 1st. We would be selling low, but then again this is Tepper and selling low on Burns wouldn't shock me.

100% do the deal. 2 net first round assets for Burns is a win.

    • I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though   
    • Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens. 
    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
