How Many of You Would Actually Want a Trade for a WR

[Untouchable]

Would trade for a WR in a heart beat.  Don't know why people are so against it just because year 1 is off to a bad start.  The issue was obvious once Moore was traded and they still need to address it going forward, so if there is a deal to be had for a WR1 or WR2 just pounce.

[Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D.]

What good would bringing a WR in this year do for the team. If a team is trading away a player, they are likely at the end of their contract.  This year is over. Giving away anything to try and earn a win or two in a wasted year is exactly what has gotten this franchise in trouble in the first place.

If you trade your best WR in order to draft a QB and then 6 games in are already trying to trade for someone to replace the WR you traded, you deserve to be fired.

Unfortunately, Tepper more than likely had the final say on making that trade and it doesn’t look like he is going to remove himself from making football decisions any time soon. 
 

Even if Fitts were to be fired, who ever replaces him is going to be handcuffed to Tepper so I don’t know how much would actually change.

The only WR we have on the roster getting separation is Theilen, so bringing in a WR at this point behind the same offensive line with the same coaching staff with a twist on playcalling, I don't think is going to change much...

Depends on the value. Simple!

It really is mind boggling IMO that we decided to trade DJ rather than include Brown in the trade. Unless you're Aaron Donald, DTs are a dime a dozen. DJ was on a great contract for a WR1 too. I think the offense would look much better with DJ and Thielen as legit receiving threats.

We aren't winning anything anytime soon, no more trades until we get a competent front office.

Yep, they've wasted enough picks in trades. 

No more until they're all replaced.

After QB, DT is the position that is most fiercely recruited in College.

A good DT absolutely changes your defence. So does a bad one.

DK Metcalf is the only WR I would trade a future 1st for.

 

Other than that I don't see another WR who is realistically available that we should trade for. Just take our chances in FA maybe we can land Tee Higgins.

Depends on who it is + cost + contract

If you are able to pry a young #1 WR from a team and can guarantee they will be here for multiple years why not? Cost would be the big concern, you aren't getting a young #1 without paying out the ass. 

 

The only scenario I would even think likely is Justin Jefferson from the Vikings after Addison is showing a lot of potential. Pipe dream.

I'm a big bowl of meh on Brown. He's fine, solid even. In hindsight, of the three that Chicago asked for, he's the one I would've been least upset about parting with.

no chance, denver clearly isn't getting a deal that good offered right now or jeudy would be long gone 

Most I'd give up is a fifth rounder at this point

We need the best screen reciever in the league, then Bryce would look like a stud

What’s mind boggling is turning down that offer for Burns and not being able to extend him. Those picks were slated to be better than ours (Rams finished worse and started a fire sale) so we should have been able to parlay that into keeping Moore and still having our 2024 first and the Rams 2025 first. We’d be our Burns but with the $30M a year savings we could sign someone like Floyd and the top FA G to man LG.

It was right there within our grasp and now it feels like we’ll sell Burns to the first team that offers a 2024 1st so Fitts can act like we got our full set of picks. Felt that way with CMC like he was trying yo make up for Darnold and Henderson. How awesome is it to realize Fitt basically traded CMC for a 2 year rental of Darnold and Henderson? At least we aren’t seeing anymore Fitt is great threads.
