Lardarius Webb Question

First off, I'm gonna go ahead and say I expect short responses that will not be very friendly, but whatever...

Webb is a RFA and we could get him by giving up our 1st.

Now before you go ape-poo, we all know a CB2 is a spot we need to fill and additionally Webb is one of the best in the league atm. Only 26 and a proven starter. We use basically our first draft pick on a starting CB...something many want with our 1st pick. We then get the best d-lineman our staff finds in the draft at 2-9 & start from there. We'd be looking at Chandler Jones, Crick, Mercilus, Curry, etc. It really could make sense.

I'm just saying, if people are willing to take a Kirkpatrick, Claiborne, or Jenkins..but why not basically get Webb a mere 3 years in and proven?

Of course this would be crazy and most likely won't happen, but would you personally do this?

I'd be open to the idea...I think he's better than the shot in the dark we get at 9 in this year's draft.

people like the draft. people will always like the draft. Your argument does make sense. Only difference, of course, being that Webb would be more expensive than a rookie CB. People will never be comfortable with this idea though. It just feels dirty and weird.

Yeah I don't expect many to like this idea which is why I was obvious about my response expectations, but really this would be something to at least look at if Hurney can maneuver the $$ around

If you trade for him assuming they want to give him up, you give up a top 10 pick and you have to pay him a big contract. If you use your 1 in the draft on a corner you have used your pick but end up with a guy who you have to pay 4 million a year instead of 10 million. I would rather save the money and hope he is great, then get someone proven who you have to spent a bunch to get. With Gamble at 10 million a year can we spend 10 more for another corner. He would cost as much as all our draft picks combined.

I'm more for the idea of drafting a Claiborne or whoever because I believe in bringing in fresh new faces who want to earn their spot. Eager young men who are gonna go out and fight for it. Not someone who's just looking for a payday and a hand out. I want guys who want to not only be a part of the Panther's culture, but cultivate it and make it their own. I want Panther's that want to be Panther's for life. It seems easier to do that thru the draft than thru free agency.

No. I've haven't even seen the Raven's own fans thinking that highly of the guy until maybe this season. I'd be much more interested swapping first round picks with Philly and getting Asante. He's older but could fill in great at #2 corner while we give Hogan time to develop.

      I think people are harsh on him over the weightlifting a little bit but at the same time I don’t see any evidence that he has done anything.  I would think he should have been working on strengthening his base after watching how easy he goes down with any kind of contact. Like with a couple of fingers even.

      I see the issues with Tyreek, which is why I put an asterisk on him and all the way on the bottom. I don't even see him playing at all this entire year since he hasn't even been seen working out at all. But I do not think he's as hard to play with as Stefon Diggs is IMO and Tyreek is more of a game changer. But either way, it's pie in the sky.  Always loved Keenan and he is from the Carolinas so that's really the only thing that may interest him playing here if no one is giving him any calls to play.

      It's not that I'm not rooting for him to do well, but I'd be lying if I said him having a good season wouldn't scare me after what we've seen out of him so far. I'd be afraid of it just being one of those situations you see all the time, a player is in a make it or break it season, they somehow raise their level of play to new levels, and then proceed to immediately drop back off a cliff the next season (although this does usually happen in contract years, not a player trying to not get cut). Now, if you tell me that no matter how well he plays, we're then going to flip him for a draft pick in the offseason, then yea, I'd want him to go off for a monster season so we can get a better return.
