Would you trade KB for a first next year?

You people drastically underestimate he value and talent of KB. Even captain said he was the only WR they were concerned with. He's a matchup nightmare and he's not the first talented young player to struggle with weight discipline. Trading him would be stupid. You guys act like he hasn't been productive he's been putting up numbers even the so called down year of last season. 

This. I want him here.

I'd trade him to the 49ers for Tartt. Player for player. We need a young safety with talent to groom. 49ers could use a possession guy. Plus Tartt played with Bradberry in the secondary at Samford.

Was going to suggest the same but that's not an even trade.  Tartt and their 4th to give us a pick in all 7 rounds, at a minimum.

hell yes if not for the fact that 1st rounders are cheap af

No I wouldn't. Is anyone really ok with Funchess being the number 1 WR? 

I'd rather do the opposite and trade a pick for a good proven receiver.

Just a thought that popped into my head in response to Jeremy's article about KB being done here. If he truly may be done here past next year then why not try to trade him now? Let the offense get a jumpstart without him and have continuity for going forward. Don't know if we could get a first, but if we could would you trade him for one? What about a 2nd from a rebuilding team who'll likely be picking early? 

 

Personally, I'm not ready to give up on him at all and hope we pick up his 5th year option and keep him, but it does seem like a possibility the team is getting tired of some of his sh*t going on. I mean, the TC before he got hurt he was looking like a Dez Bryant or AJ Green type of dominating player, and that was going up against Norman. I still feel he can get to that level here and while yes the offense seemed better without him, I don't think that means we can't make the offense work even better with him as well. 

 

 

Thats a silly question. In short, of course. Doubt anyone would offer that much for a often injured and overweight wideout. At least from the outside it appears as if he has a lack of motivation. Never good for an athlete.

I'm sure KB is safe on his rookie contract.

I would and I'm a fan--

and I am impressed by Kelvin-- his first 2 seasons for me were a success-- I saw another report of 7 pounds over weight so that's no biggie-- 

 For me when I see a guy put out when it matters but not put out when he thinks it doesn't matter that's my only issue with him.

 He catches when it's going to be a good highlight, makes us all go  wow, but then drops the most  boring passes and when he thinks no one cares. 

 Just my impression, I want him to be awesome and I was one that was jumping up and down we drafted him, And I'm still a fan, I just want him to treat every play like it's huge

We'd be lucky to get a 5th out of him at this point.

[pantherj]

Of course.

It is insane how you are literally the contrarian to everything on this forum

At some point with every single player in the league, the value of a trade becomes too good to pass up. I wouldn't want to trade KB either as I alluded to, but for a first I'd think about it. Throw in a 3rd and I think I'd have to do it. Also need to consider that after this season he becomes much more expensive, on 5th year option or with what he'd command on open market. But if we truly are getting fed up with him then getting something for him now rather than letting him go in FA is a better choice. Especially if we want to build the offense without him.

Won't need to trade.  Decker will be cut and available.

If you have never had a serious injury before like an ACL, you have no idea what it's like to come back from. Mine still swells and bothers me and it happened 6 years ago. Does KB need to get his weight under control, yes but I'd rather have him here than give up on him after 2 years of playing. The additions we added are only gonna give him more opportunities. Lets see how he does with other actual offensive threats on the field first.

I'm not sure we were watching the same two players. Brandin Cooks was a much better player than KB last year.

Cooks wasn't coming off an ACL tear, and had Drew Brees in a Sean Payton offense. KB still showed effects of the injury and had a struggling Cam because of poor OL play in a Mike Shula offense...

 

KB has the upside of an AJ Green or Dez Bryant, and showed it just before he got hurt. Had a spectacular rookie year and although struggled with consistency last year also showed quite a bit of dominance. With another year removed from the injury, he'll get even better. I don't understand the KB criticism here. The weight thing is a small concern but really, not a big deal at all. Some of the laziness bothers me and seemingly the team, but another thing that can be dealt with. His ability on the field to be an elite receiver can't be ignored. Of course he still has to put it all together again, but he has the ability.
