I have been saying it since we picked up ginn in the first place he is a perfect fit for our style of play.  And i find it amazing how he makes the tough contested catches but fails to pull in the wide open bombs you would expect a guy like ginn to make his bread on.  On those slants it takes more concentration and hands to make than that of those deep bombs all he has to do is reel in.  I have faith in him but those drops are a punch in the gut and its hard to ignore.

Actually the knock on Ginn was alligator arms in traffic when the big hit was about to happen. He has played better for us than anywhere else even with the drops.

Problem is there isn't. Not at a price we are willing to pay. How about 5 first rounders for Julio Jones?

I would give a 1st 2nd and 3rd for Julio.

Figured we should have a post for any trades made today before the deadline.  I will attempt to keep this updated throughout the day.

 

Can we start a new thread with just trade news? This one has gotten a little off-kilter.

What if he blows out his ACL? That is mortgaging too much of the future for 1 player.

I doubt there will be much more trade news to talk about. Only an hour left to the deadline.

Surprise, Voth says don't expect any moves.

I would rather have Boldin than Calvin Johnson. You probably have to give up less, and Boldin may be better at this point considering Johnsons injury

But what if he catches the damn ball and we will a Super Bowl? Scared money don't make money. I can't see Brown/Bersin/Ginn catching a game winning TD pass in January. I'm sorry.

Boldin is hurt as well and wouldn't help much. He certainly isn't the missing piece for a Super Bowl run.

sorry if posted.  There's a reason I wanted Thomas so bad.  They want a kings ransom for him.

It absolutely would make sense for us to acquire Alshon Jeffery. He is young,tall, strong, physical receiver, and he is a baller. If we can lock him up for three or four years while Benjamin is still relatively cheap, then why not? The dude has proven that he can carry his load, and he can jump and contort his body mid-air to catch Cam's passes. Our receiving corps would be set for the next few years (while that window is wide open).

He's likely looking at a contract for over $10M/year and would probably take a 1st rounder to get him. I've thought about him and also CJ and they would both fit here perfectly and their skillsets would mesh with Cam extremely well but I just don't think it's worth it. Need to think about KK, Star, Josh and others going forward. Trading a high draft pick that DG can use to get a great played cheap for a guy who will be taking up a significant portion of our cap space isn't the best idea in my opinion.

The defense nearly cost this game.

True, but also won us this game along with a couple others this year. When your defense is on the field for an entire half, they will wear down.

No. It just becomes free agency talk for next year.
