Let's trade Moton

I don't think we have the luxury of taking a RT with our first pick when we have so many needs on D.  Let's see how he does in '25 and go from there; we can extend or tag him.  He is 31 so it is time to start thinking about a replacement.

This time of the year, people without real football get trade fever. It's a real disease, a scourge on the sport, and it drives fans into frenzied states of conjecture and jackassery. Draft trades, player trades, coach trades and maybe even a mascot or two.

Can't wait for the draft so that some of these trade scenarios will just be dust in the wind, not to return until next February or so. 

I am weary of trade talk. So weary.

If we were a piece away I’d see us drafting a cornerstone RT with our pick this year to prepare for life without Moton. Unfortunately we aren’t that close and need to fill other holes and hope Moton continues to be serviceable for a few more years.

What happens this year isn't relevant.  All we want is to see improvement this year and verify that what we saw at the end of last season from Bryce is what we really have.  Our best opportunity for that is for Moton to remain on the team.  If we come out of the season with a clear picture of what Bryce really will be, and 6-8 wins, that's a great season.

Next offseason, we can find out if he really wants to be here his entire career or not.  If he really does, he can take a friendly deal to help us groom a replacement.  If not, we thank him for being one of the best OL we've ever had and move on.

Moton is 11% of our cap... I think we can find a suitable replacement for much less. 

he's also 20% of our OL.

OL is not plug and play. you pay to keep continuity in your OL when you have a core that does the job well as a unit.

it's worth the price tag.

and a team with a lot of holes doesn't need to be creating a GIANT hole on the OL unnecessarily. 

there's more to life than saving money. sometimes taking extreme measures to save money makes your situation much worse and the "benefit" comes nowhere near being worth it. causes much more harm than good that will set you back years trying to fix the actual damage done by your "cost saving" measures.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
