Impossible trades and pipe dreams

All this talk of trades for a big name WR or OT are not going to happen. First of all, you should know by now that is not Getts M.O. This team is built on guts,  team attitude, and having each others back. They have gotten this far by that formula and I don't see them adding any pieces unless injury forces the issue. They sink or swim with what they have. Doubt they break the chemistry that has developed on the field and in the locker room.

You go to war with what you have and pull together to get the job done. **All this trade talk is just talk 

 

**to all the talking heads in the sports media.

Was Jared Allen not a big name DE that we traded for this season? Truth is we really have no idea what Gettleman's MO is. Every time someone says Gettleman would never do something like that, he turns around and disproves it. We thought he loved draft picks and was just happy to sit back and take BPA then he goes and makes two big trades in the draft to get guys with draft picks(Funchess, Williams) then two more in the season(Norwood, Allen). He won't trade for a one year rental of an aging vet? Here comes Jared Allen. He hasn't been a GM long enough for us to really have a good handle on what he will do. No one thinks he will go out and sign a free agent to a big contract, but he hasn't had the chance yet due to cap restrictions. He could very well go out this year and land a big fish now that we have some room.

Allen is an older vet with a little tread left on the tires ( for a 6th round pick). DG went looking once Addison got injured and we where thin ar DE. A lot different then going after C.J for a high draft pick and salary to go with it. Just don't see D.G ever taking that jump.

We need to make a trade?! We are "in danger?" Who are you talking to right now?! Who is it that you think you see?! Do you know what our record is?! Even if I told you, you wouldn't begin to believe me. Our no 1 WR goes down and you think we are in danger and need to make a trade?! We are not in danger Skylar, we are the danger. We are the team that knocks!

Just because it is a rainy crappy day I am going to respond to this oopsy. Gman got Allen three weeks ago. Addison got hurt last week. Sooo....your assertion is flawed. That is all I got.

We got Allen after CJ was hurt, I believe.

True...but if it was when C.J was put on I.R/designated to return, then it is no longer flawed. We traded due to injuries at D.E....regardless of whom it may have been.

Soooo because your premise was right, even thought your facts we wrong, you are right? Mmm OK. Don't take this the wrong way, but the wife always says. "Listen to what I mean, not to what I say." So, I am used to this convoluted logic.

Not a matter of right or wrong.  My premise was that DG doesn't do these kind of deals that cost high draft picks or saddle the team with high salaries. I doubt with contracts coming up that he will do so in the future. He seems to prefer to pay the guys we have who produce. So your right about it being C.J and not Addison that produced the trade. Trade was due to injury at DE and nothing else.

Would he have traded for him if C.J was healthy and playing?

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
