Insider Info about Possible trade

just to add, if we offer a third for a useless receiver from Cincinnati when Philly would still take a third for Ronald Darby and we have no secondary, i'd lose my mind.

Assuming your friend is your same age, 31-32 seems a little old to be interning and making $10 per hour.

It is probably a social media friend rather than an IRL friend anymore.

Your wife is my friend she is older than me ..... I mean it can happen right?

First of all, I appreciate the info. It sounds too real to be a lie, and I don't know why you'd make it up. For Huddle pie? Come on, people. 

Secondly, people don't seem to understand that it takes two teams to make a deal. Info on a smart board is probably just general framework and doesn't necessarily include the details once you get down to the nitty gritty.

Third, John Ross just may be worth a third. Maybe! Olsen certainly was. I mean, it's not like the Bengals are the Patriots. Sometimes teams just don't know what they have, or can't get things to work out. The Bengals are the only team that has tried to "develop" Ross, and I use the term lightly. My thing is that Ross doesn't appear to be a fugup from a mental standpoint, so what the trade would hinge upon is his health---specifically the health of his knees. We have a world class, expert on the issue right on our staff. If Dr. Anderson thinks that the kids knee is not a deal breaker, then I can see why Hurney might take the risk. It's a gamble, but not the end of the world. 

It would almost be like swapping KB for Ross.

Your answer doesn't really strengthen your position of having a younger intern as a friend. But hey, i'm rooting for you because I like John Ross.

I have nothing to prove, Im not trying to strengthen my position. i just gave you some info.  nothing more nothing less...... i dont see why the age of my friend matter, but if you must know he is younger then me and goes to school at ecpi, he interns with the panthers and he graduates in June he is single, you want me to set your you with him?

The Crabtree thread left a negative impression, that is all. You can be all defensive as you want but that's just how some of us here feel when we see another "insider" thread. No need to set me up, i'm not currently hiring at this time.

I will say that the overly defensive OP does have the title as "Possible Trade." Seems pretty obvious this isn't something that is guaranteed, even if true.

I see it this way--if it was a deal about to go down, they would protect it more carefully.  This may have been some opposition research, some fishing, but nothing that serious. 

By the way, Lobo, Moore is 6 feet and over 200--not a smurf.  I personally like him more than Ridley.

My Panther contact said it was Rick Ross videos

Didn't Ross play 2 years with Shaq Thompson at UW? I think he did. So there's a connection there too.

Also, I find it very interesting that the Panthers signed this Wright dude to be the slot WR, have Funchess as a supposed #1, traded for Smith to be the #2 guy, and are developing Byrd and Samuel for future roles as slot and #2 guys, and yet are still scouting more WRs like Crabtree and Ross? 

They will most likely keep Shepard around until Samuel can come back healthy. But then he gets cut and you have 5 WRs already. What are you trying to do with 6 or more WRs when there are other glaring holes to be filled?

That 3rd could be used on a long-term solution at LG/C, or power RB, or TE, or Safety, etc etc....

Hurney is putting a premium on finding this team some real starting material at WR, and rightly so in my opinion. The problem is that we have to do it in a smart way due to limited funds, and that the draft class is decidedly thin at the position in reference to starting material, so he seems to be focusing on guys with relatively high upside.

WR has arguably been the biggest reason as to why we haven't won a Super Bowl for the last three years. We need legitimate playmakers out on the field, not glorified backups. Because of the market, Hurney just seems to be doing the best that he can.

When was the last time a top ten pick was traded after one season...?
