Play GM: A 4th Round pick in Week 5 or 6 for Hakeem Nicks? Would you guys take it?

[Peppers90 NC]

No big FA WR's please. Look at how the ones that got fat contracts last year are doing. Bowe got $56 million, he hasn't done jack poo. Wallace got $60 million, and he hasn't done anything, along with being a diva as well.

 

Oh and how could I forget Percy Harvin, he got $67 million. We all know that story.

 

Factor in Nicks latest comments, and injury history, looks like another Mike Wallace waiting to happen. No thanks. We just need to draft one of the top WR's next year. Or maybe even two depending on what happens with Lafell.

and a T, and a G, and a CB, and a TE and possibly even a S.  Not sure how many top WR's there are, but they usually go pretty quick.

[PhillyB]

it'd be worth losing a pick (rather than just grabbing him in free agency) to have his talent on the field for the rest of the season. i'd wager smitty/nicks/ginn/lafell would be among the league's most dangerous receiving corps.

4th rounder for Nicks is almost as much of a steal as a 7th for Boldin

[4Corners]

Couldn't care less he went to unc. He's always hurt. Gordon is younger and has more potential and would be cheaper.

 

 

hard to argue about the injuries and Nicks. However, with Gordon he is a failed drug test away from being suspended indef

Can't fix everything through one draft.

We could address several key positions in FA for half of what we would have to pay Nicks. It's not like we have the money and cap space to spend anyway with Hardy a soon to be FA, and Cam's contract coming up soon.

You offer a 5th...and negotiate to a 4th.

I'll be the first to say, I wouldn't do it. I really haven't been impressed with him. He had a few good games but the guy has some health issues. Also, I wouldn't trade for a guy who becomes a free agent at the end of the season. I would stay away from it.

 

Exactly. If he didn't get nipped by the injury bug so often, I'd lean more towards it.

that's my point, i doubt we'd get one of the top 2 or 3 wr's unless we fail miserably this season.  for conversation sake, you take a proven super star for a 4th rounder.  the salary cap would be up for the GM to decide, which we wouldnt entertain the trade if we cant afford him anyway.

Absolutely, but of we are giving up picks id rather get someone who has off field issues instead of issues staying on the field. What good has an injury prone hixon done us, what good did an injury prone gettis do us. Gordon is a special talent, id like to think guys on this team could keep him straight.

[FattyFatFat]

Yup .

Id see what chic wants for Gordon.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

Bring him home

I just don't think he is worth a big contract and a draft pick. I think that decision would have a very high probability of backfiring on us. Not to mention hampering our ability to sign adequate players in other areas of need too.

[Coug Girl]

Well Chud apparently told Gordon, they have no intentions of trading him. It's not totally Chud's decision, but there that is.

I don't really care for Nicks, since all the injuries. But, if he's at a good price then sure bring him over. I'm sure being a Giant, Gettleman has contemplated it given his affiliation with the franchise. I still want at least one WR out of the draft though. 

[panthers90]

too bad we couldnt do Beason straight up for Nicksy

Or could we...
