Haven't read through the thread, but seems like a pretty bad deal for Dallas. The Packers were already a pretty good team so those two 1sts are likely to be late in the round, then you get an aging DT whose production fell off a cliff last year that you're probably gonna cut after this season to avoid the ballooning cap hits in his contract. Doesn't really feel like they "got" him as much as the Packers got rid of him.

2 first round picks for a player you were unwilling to spend half your cap space on.

Seems a decent, if not ideal, deal.

5 year 202m deal with an apy of slightly above 40m, he wanted to be the highest paid non QB and the Dallas deal wouldn't accomplish that. 

I'm just saying, it's not like they weren't willing to pay him an absolute poo ton. Trading him for less than we turned down from the Rams for Brian Burns seems like a kick in the teeth.

Scott Fitterer is one of the worst GM's in the history of the NFL. It's not even hyperbole, he should be in the Hall of Shame if there was such a thing - his goiter neck prominently displayed on his bust carved from hardened pig sh*t.

I mean our picks were supposed to be later in the round too.  Green Bay is questionable.

But the NBA did rig the draft for them though. I don’t feel bad for them at all

The NBA is infamous for that poo. There have been way too many draft lotteries play out way too conveniently for there not to be some smoke.

That trade package for Luka made zero sense on the surface for the Mavs but makes a lot more sense if there was a wink/nod backroom deal that the #1 overall pick was coming back there way with the most hyped prospect since Wemby on the board.

      Hendon Hooker signed to practice squad

      Well, as far as backups go, Kyle Allen is actually a decent one.  Better at this point than Dalton probably. That being said, Hooker apparently had an atrocious game against the Texans.

      Thielen traded

      By electro's horse · Posted

      i wouldn't say that yet. I also wouldn't say he's done anything that makes me think he's particularly good. i think that's about right for compensation both ways for thielen considering the state of the vikings and Panthers.  The weirdest thing is that technically the panthers should be adding veteran salary cap right now; they have a high cost first overall qb on a rookie contract; that's the best advantage in the NFL in this day and age. It hasn't worked out because, well, the qb they drafted isn't good and they've ignored other parts of the team to try to bolster him.  so what's morgan really supposed to do? Are they tanking with a rookie qb in year three that the owner probably personally wanted drafted? Are they actually trying to win games this year with 80 career catches between their top three receivers? The defense is probably going to be terrible. What kind of jump are people actually expecting from Coker, Bryce, XL, and performance from a rookie to overcome that? It's not realistic.  At the end of the day I don't think Thielen wanted to end his career here and I don't blame him. Minnesota is going to compete this year and Carolina isn't. I also think this is to toss Bryce to the wolves and be done with him one way or another. There's no way this works. This is not a move you make if you're trying to win football games.

      If he helps them win a super bowl the individual award is irrelevant.
