Also, for all the guys pounding the table to get all this compensation for our scrubs, this is the actual reality of the market.

Yeah, trades this time of the year are largely about trading guys at the bottom of your roster in units of depth for late round picks or players in a similar situation on another roster. Basically just skipping the waiver wire and insuring you're securing one of the better guys about to hit the trash heap.

To be fair, some of those 30 yard passes were to receivers only 10 yards down field. LOL 

Lol had to laugh at that although some truth to that I very much doubt you have watched anything of him at Wyoming.... lol. 

 

And almost all of those were him throwing in the run.   Which he has improved on probably 2000% at the NFL level lol.

Yeah and this was trading two 6ths for a starter, as well.

I lived in Colorado at the time and virtually all the Wyoming games were locally televised. I'd bet money that I watched more Josh Allen college games than anyone else on this board.

Ooof for the loss on that one. I only saw a few and I also remember how bad he was throwing on the run as a rookie.... oof the first time they made the playoffs with him he missed a two yard swing pass on fourth down with the game on the line by 10 yards because he was moving.

His college highlight reel would rival anyone's. His college lowlight reel would also rival anyone's. LOL

There are occasional big trades during the final preseason week, but it's definitely not the norm.

There's also the guarantee factor for vets on the roster Week One that makes a lot of teams wait till Week Two to go after veteran players

We traded for Mike Jackson last August. If we got that level of player that wouldn't be insignificant

details on the McGary injury.  Just found out their backup RT is also out.

Atlanta Falcons right tackle Kaleb McGary will miss time due to a leg injury he sustained Wednesday during practice, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

McGary was carted off the field before the 11-on-11 portion of practice Wednesday but was not fitted with an air cast. A team spokesperson said after practice that McGary was receiving an MRI and an update would follow "at an appropriate time."

The Falcons are still determining the length of McGary's absence, but "he's out," the source told Fowler.

McGary's backup would have been Storm Norton, the Falcons' reserve swing tackle. But Norton had surgery Tuesday on his ankle and will be out for six to eight weeks, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
