Hurney was smart to trade for Torrey Smith

[LinvilleGorge]

But did we actually lose anything giving up Worley? He sucks. Seymour is a viable replacement. Yeah, he sucks too but it's not like he's a significant downgrade from Worley. We're still exactly where we were before. We need a starting CB. Getting rid of trash doesn't increase or decrease that need.

The idea was to upgrade and clearly we're not going to other than the draft. Which again, would be repeating what we've already done. If we're going to spend a 3rd on a corner, use it to trade for Darby and his $1 million salary this year as a stop gap.

Im starting to think corner maybe safety is going to be the 1st round pick

John Brown got signed to a 5 year deal LOL to claiming this was a steal of a price

[carpanfan96]

5m is a good deal for Smith, hell look at what Watkins just got at 16m per year. WR contracts are freaking ridiculous right now.

Outrage

[KendrickPanther]

He was a good fit and we can cut ties if we need to.

like... who???? what???? Clowns out here getting $30M and we're sitting here with an elite speedster that has had a 1,000 yd season wondering if he's worth it? 

[Moo Daeng]

We seem to be the only team who acquired a decent player and not overspend.  

[Soul Rebel]

For $12M we added a veteran speedy WR & upgraded CB. 

Hell, AR15 almost looks like the best "value" thus far after seeing Watkins, Brown and Grant getting silly money.

2 things stand out to me right away

1. Eagles were misusing Smith as he posted his worst yards per catch by far. Them turning Nelson alghlor into a deep threat helps NA but hurt TS. Was also in an overall stacked offense 

2. Smith posted his best catch % of his career. 

 

sorry if already posted in this thread

This is like comparing overpaying for a 2001 Accord then feeling better when you see someone buy a new Lamborghini  

We were never going to get a Lamborghini and the market for Accords was rising... better than walking or not having money left over for gas...

He's more of a Genesis

John Brown, a younger, more talented option went for the same price. so if we had just waited a 2015 Acura would have been available below market value 

 

I'm going to stop this car analogy now before someone puts me in my place
