Oregon Trail meets Carmen Sandiego

Vernon Butler.  

I'm sure there's a lot of people like who?  This was some dude we drafted last year in the first round and I think we can give Short assurance for a 5 year deal, lock up Star and trade this youngling for a talent at another position.  

We should trade him.

That would be a bad idea. Spend a first and trade for what? A 5th ish one year later....if that. Not smart.

Have you ever heard gettlleman talk about how he wants to build a team? He values a heavy dose of Dline talent and ability to rotate often. Most all of our rotation guys are on the back end of careers, Vernon will be groomed as a backup plan for short at worst. At best he's an affordable option for a few more years as he develops and gives us a deep rotation. 

Remeber all the blown 2nd half leads by the defense over the past 2 years? no matter how well Cam and the offense play, it won't do any good if the defense can't close out games. That starts with solid Dline play for 60 minutes and making teams one dimensional.  That's Ron's formula and that's how gettleman will build the team (hopefully)

I always love when you post. It's not very often. It's like when there is a blood moon. The best part is, it takes me a few days to figure out how your thread title relates to the thread. It's kind of like a game, a mystery if you will.

This. He was hampered by injury for much of last season. What could we really expect to get out of him? Right now, we have a promising young three technique DT on a cheap rookie contract. That's worth a lot more than we could get for Butler in a trade. Plus, Short is only franchise tagged at the moment. He may not be here beyond this coming season. We'd look like horses asses if we lost Short after trading Butler for much less than we spent on him in last year's draft.
