Wanna trade with the Bears again?

From the Red Zone: Johnny Knox could push for a trade

Iffy on the idea myself. Lord knows he's fast and could be used in a DeSean Jackson type role, but I'm not sure how durable he is and I think we may already have enough receivers to pick from. If it weren't for the Gettis injury, I doubt I'd even look at this.

Still, we've had good luck trading with the Bears of late, and Olsen would likely have some insight to offer on whether it'd be a good idea or not.

Worth a thought, but I'd likely say no to anything higher than a late round pick in return.

has anyone heard the severity of the gettis injury yet?

Not a word.

If it isn't bad, I wouldn't give this notion much more thought. Looked like it might be though :(

That, plus Rivera doesn't generally seem all that thrilled with our receiving corps.

He is pissed that he would be the #3-#4 WR in Chicago.

With Naane, Gettis, LaFell , etc on the roster.....he would not be guaranteed to be any higher than that here.

Assuming Gettis is healthy. Plus LaFell doesn't exactly seem like Rivera's favorite player right now.

As a pure vertical threat, something the Coryell offense can use, he's worth a look.

That said, Mike Martz runs a version of a Coryell offense and he considers Knox "inconsistent".

(though in fairness he also considered Greg Olsen trade worthy)

Again, I'm iffy.

I agree that he is worth a look from our perspective.

Given "why" he wants a trade is what would concern me.

Seems he is pissed that he is not the #2 WR now....seems like a whiney little bitch to me.

    • The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman. 
    • And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!
    • If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
