I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use. Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick. Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has. I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.

I find it funny that the Panthers aren't in win now mode, even though they have a 4th year qb on his rookie contract, just made a couple huge splashes in free agency, won their division last year and made the playoffs. we all know it's bullshit. we're already on the backside of the Canales era.

who's defending fitterer? im explaining why he would have turned the deal down. no reason for a GM to tank when its for picks you won't be around to use.

Why would the Vikings waste jj McCarthy’s prime

More than the eagles traded for him four seasons ago.

Oh god this game is less than a week after sturgill. I’ll still be hung over. https://youtu.be/8qX02AW48bM?si=dgoITWu3yvKNIw3r

The bears.

It’s a panthers board. worth pointing out some teams are always trying to improve regardless of position, and others are are starting Bryce young at qb.

At the time he was on the hot seat, he wouldn’t be around to use the two picks, and the panthers ended up missing the playoffs by a game. also the only team that’s ever sad that deal was a thing are the rams. They have plenty of motivation to have lied about it.

Actually we were losing and Bryce was finishing off 0/4 when it mattered.

The rams are sending a first to Cleveland to upgrade Jared verse to Myles Garrett, and have their future qb on the roster. The team they beat on the road in the wild card round is bringing back Bryce young and spent a first on a backup left tackle.

Went to target this morning and picked up some Bryce

I don’t know if you saw my response but I’m totally down to be your Purge Coordinator. Really appreciate you asking me soon as the buttons appear I’ll do what needs to be done.

I would really love to know who’s actually making these moves because it’s weirdly vague who’s doing the hiring and firing.
