The Trade Deadline thread

[oaken1]

This is the problem. It's not that there are no other problems, but they pale into insignificance compared to this.

It's like complaining about your wife's cooking when she's boning your brother.

Damn it Karen! I have asked you repeatedly to NOT cook my dinner while you and Ted are screwing!
I mean, onion salt? Really?? Did you even look at the spice rack!??!

 

[Harry]

What is your best guess on the top 3 players they might be targeting?

I keep hearing Edge. It’s simply a case of what they’re willing to give up in a marginal season

 

[Harry]

Hudson is close to being useless, so yes.

Another homerun for Keim.

He’s viewed as damaged goods. Not certain he’d even fetch a seventh.

 

[PACardsFan]

probably some value there too.

No value in Beachum. Absolute trash right now.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I don't get the Robbie Anderson trade considering in 2 games they barely played him.

It made sense if Hollywood was out for the season but they said 4-6 weeks and we already used up 2 of them.

So at best, even if Anderson plays every snap from now on, we gave up a 6th and a 7th for a maximum 4 weeks of starting football.

So Keim’s fault? You’ve already absolved kliff of all responsibility.

When did this baseball where a bad team just has a fire sale on their good players? I know he was a FA, but he’s not an old guy.

Cards are the Lakers of the NFL.

Keim will trade away our entire future for mediocre short term results.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Trade was good. The contract is very generous IMO.

Agree

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Yeah the notion that other teams want our ancient poirlybplaying players like beachum and Hudson cracks me up

Exactly.. minus the 17 championships, countless hall of famers, and NBA high playoff win percentage.

 

[Arz101]

Raiders can use Steve Keim to become slightly mediocre again..

Get 8th rounder pick from Raiders for Keim. Anyone?

 

[Chopper0080]

Teams are desperate for OL depth and talent. One of the toughest things to acquire mid season.

Not buying beachum and retiring injured Hudson.

If she can't cook then she might as well be boning the brother lol.

 

[BritCard]

Sorry, BritCard, but you are simply not basing your arguments on facts.

First, if you read the CBA you will see that the salary cap is based on revenue, and unless you believe that the revenue (especially TV deals) will suddenly start to plummet (for the first time probably ever), the salary cap will continue rising. This year the salary cap is up 25.7 million from 2021, and the amount has gone up ten years in a row.

Second, there is the history. DaHilg has already explained in this thread how you can look at the Saints and the Rams as the best examples.

As you see, your analogy about domestic finances makes sense from a theoretical standpoint, but since the salary cap goes up so much each year, it makes no sense to talk about it as a tool that restrict teams from doing business. If your salary increased 12-16% each year - and you knew with almost certainty that it would continue to happen for the next many, many years - your budget for domestic finances would be a lot easier to make.

It is a ghost to talk about the salary cap as anything else than a bad excuse.

It doesn't matter how much it goes up when you are continuously borrowing from future years.

This is completely evident in the state of the Saints roster and their cap space next year.

obs I disagree

he is durable -- avail every week. A vet who knows what he is doing. If you are a contender short a tackle -- you will be hard pressed to do better for the last 8 weeks of the season

 

[JohnnyCakes]

alright < claps hands and rubs them together > who we trading for today!?

 

[BritCard]

I hated the Cody Ford pick when we made it and having watched the Vikings game back I hate it even more.

"Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane" has never been more fitting. Watched him pull against a defensive lineman that he had 40lbs on the the guy stone walled him and Eno ran into his back.

Well, not so much he got stone walled as Ford seemed to stop for a chat instead of cleaning the guys clock.

Just as bad in pass pro. Stood there guarding air as Billy Price takes on Za'Darius Smith on his own.

I can't believe Keim gave a 5th round pick for him.

Probably because they don't have a 2023 1st so must have been a '24 and '25.

Otherwise I imagine they would snatch their hand off.

Let the Rams have him for that. I like Burns but he ain't worth that.

 

[Russ Smith]

Sounds like the Rams are probably going to get Kareem Hunt at least that's the rumor.

Hunt looked great last night again in limited carries, he hasn't had much work of late. I gotta believe he would help them I think their OL is a problem but the backs they have are meh so a guy like Hunt would really help.

 

[DaHilg]

Um.. Saints roster is actually REALLY good.. just a bad QB and a rash of injuries

Hunt is a complete stud.. if Chubb wasn’t in CLE, Hunt would be viewed as a top 10 back maybe higher.

I believe it was reported that CAR rejected an offer of 2 first round picks and maybe it was for this reason. They probably don't want to wait 2 years to utilize the compensation, if someone was to offer 2 firsts with the first being in 2024 then maybe they would consider it. But just like LA teams, Rams trying to go all in mid season despite not looking like favorites to return to SB. Must be nice to have big pocket owners willing to pay for titles.

 

[Garthshort]

Browns would be crazy to trade a RB. They have a VG chance to win their Division, especially if they have Watson down the stretch.
