Damn that's cold

 

If he wasn't so entitled I would be more interested but his attitude seems like it needs work. I bet Mcvay gives him a looksie

I'm not sure Richardson is the kind of project McVay is eager to take on.

Yeah, not sure I see that either. McVay's offense I a lot. If you have a guy already struggling with the mental aspects of playing QB in the NFL not sure I see that as a good fit.

Honestly, the Eagles should consider him as a backup. It's hard to find a QB that can emulate how they use Hurts and Richardson might be a good fit for that. As is, if Hurts go down they'd basically have to run their offense completely differently. That's not ideal.

He could be a really good fit in our system. Depending on the cost, I would be very interested

Thibodeaux had one good season and has missed 12 games over the past two seasons while only getting 8 sqcks over those two seasons bottoming out with 2.5 this past season. Why is anyone chomping at the bit to trade for that guy and give him $15M this year?

I am not endorsing or rejecting.. just commenting. NYG GM Schoen and Morgan are like, vacation buds. Did the Burns trade already. 
If we had interest it should be do-able. One year rental? Could be cheap. But it would need to be. Maybe a player could go back to them. More than that? Like trade for and extend him? I don’t know enough about him to really say about that. What LG just said sheds some light. 
 

In a general sense, we have done well with our late rounders but the reason for that may apply less going forward. Tillis referenced this as well in his combine interview the other day.

When you have holes everywhere it is easy to fill them with a draft pick, but once you have gotten things to a certain level that changes. At that point maybe a late round pick doesn’t upgrade your team like it did n previous seasons. 

Hence the low picks become less impactful for us, there is less utility. Which could play into them being more willing to use them in a trade.

In a perfect world he’d play out his contract and if he looks great you can tag or extend him. But I wouldn’t offer more than a third. And I wouldn’t extend up front

Well you are officially renting him in those circumstances. So I don’t care who he is, I wouldn’t want to give up a 3rd. 
 

I for sure was thinking much cheaper. Got to pay him 15 mil. And then he can be a FA. I guess you could tag him. That would be costly.

The idea of a one year rental doesn’t bother me though, it could buy time and still allow us to draft an edge this year, then in ‘27 we’d have Scourton and Princely going into their third season and the newer draftee his second. They might be ready to step up. 
 

I just would want him cheap.
