Nicks, 25, could end up being the highest-paid player in what looks to be a pedestrian free-agent class (tight end Jimmy Graham, for instance, is going to be franchised by the Saints if he isn't extended), and a team acquiring the star receiver at the trade deadline would only owe him about $1.4M for the remainder of the season based on his $2.7M salary).

I think we have the best chance of locking him up long term in a trade scenario if we play decent down the stretch. Remember, his ENTIRE family just saw the Panthers destroy his team a few weeks ago live.

Nicks is not going to demand top dollar. There may be a bidding war, but the price will not be extraordinary. He is living off his past right now. Unless he gets back to mini-beast mode, he will be rather inexpensive.

Still don't want him. I want a potential #1. Nicks can help our WR corp, but he is not a #1 anymore. Pay him #2 money and I may change my mind.

I'd be more excited about the prospect if it was Victor Cruz and not Nicks.

But, like Zod said, we have players now that we need to pay big $$ to. If I had to choose though between JStew and Nicks being on our roster - I'd pick Nicks. If Giants didnt have Andre Brown coming back I'd love to just trade our banged up RB for their injury prone WR. But wouldn't happen.

    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
