Skins shopping Fred Davis

[top dawg]

Fred Davis has become expendable with the emergence of Jordan Reed. Well, considering how we seem to be spurning vets for unproven talent with some potential, I don't even know that we're in the market. But it's a novel idea.

 

In a contract season for the third consecutive year, Davis is unlikely to fetch more than a sixth-round draft pick as trade compensation. He's one year removed from Achilles tendon surgery and two years removed from a four-game suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy that put an abrupt end to the best season of his career.

 

 

Chris Wesseling characterized Davis like this (which may be a bit presumptuous):

As a suspension and injury risk, Davis won't attract a suitor looking for a long-term commitment. He's a mercenary capable of adding passing-game punch down the stretch, similar to a "have bat, will travel" veteran joining a contender at baseball's trade deadline.

Sure, why not.  I assume his cap hit is small, and if all it'll take is a 6th or 7th the addition of a proven capable receiving TE would be invaluable to our offense as well all remember.  I think he's a capable pass blocker too, if I remember correctly.

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

trades just don't happen in the NFL. I doubt we see one happen before the deadline, anywhere

[CarolinaCoolin]

I'd take him for a 6th no problem

it'd be nice but i don't want to give up even late picks for a guy that's in the twilight of his career.

[LinvilleGorge]

6th or 7th, yeah I'd certainly entertain that.  He'd defintely upgrade our #2 TE position and maybe we could get back to running more 2 TE sets.

Twilight of his career?   The guy is 27.

9 teams have already been involved in trades this season

9 teams have already been involved in trades this season

Correction: 10 teams....2 involved in multiple trades

[Coug Girl]

Trading for him doesn't excite me. And would rather keep our picks to see more of DG's eye for talent.

[SgtJoo]

I'd do it.

 

I love two TE sets.

damn, you're right. i was thinking chris cooley for some reason.

[LinvilleGorge]

Didn't he blow out his Achilles last year? That's iffy bro.

 

Oh poo, he did.  I didn't realize that.  He tore it last year and is still trying to comeback from it.

 

Nevermind, do not want.
