CBS has a trading for Stafford. They don't say everything we give up other than a 2nd this year. 

In this scenario, I am envisioning Carolina trades for Matthew Stafford. Detroit picks up a second round pick after parting with theirs in the trade up for Justin Fields. Kyle Pitts comes in to give that offense another mismatch.

Stafford is a good QB with 3-5 years on a playoff ready team, we have playoff ''potential'' but we are not playoff ready. We also do not have the cap to extend Stafford as he is going to want an increase in pay considering he's in the low 20's from an annual compensation standpoint. 

Trading for Watson, or Stafford is more than the loss of picks, it will also be a loss of substantial cap space, and we already have some of our own higher end guys to pay over the next 1-3 years. Moton, Moore, Burns, all of those contracts are either here or on the horizon and they won't be cheap, not to mention the holes we will need to fill in free agency; OL / DL / LB / DB depth. 

Makes more sense to trade up if needed, or draft the QB at 8 and have a talent at QB on a rookies pay scale allowing you to keep the bulk of the team strong for the next 5 years since 1st round picks have a 5th year team option.

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm not saying he should be working in the NFL. He did deserve some criticism as DC there. But Kyle Shanahan certainly did use him as a convenient scapegoat. Now there is no one left to throw under the bus. Anyways he could find his way back to the league in some capacity who knows. But he's old school and in the NFL you either adjust or you get left behind. All the same no hard feelings toward him he's a good guy.

      Is it too early to lock up Horn to a long term deal?

      By CRA · Posted

      he has barely suited up for 50% of our games.  It matters pending how much of our cap and resources go that way.  If he cost in the ballpark of a Surtain? No thank you.  Let someone else  And as far we know what happens when we let talent walk away or trade them…..that’s a mixed bag.   should we of paid Norman, Bradberry at CB? They probably had earned the right to be called better than Horn at that moment of the decision.  Do we regret that? Do we regret Star walking? Can take it back to Spoon.  Flip side is probably Peppers.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By frankw · Posted

      We need to get better in the redzone. And yes that is an issue that involves all the moving parts. Oline receivers QB and playcalling. But Bryce himself has to lead the charge on that or surely we could face another blowout in one of these upcoming games. Every team no matter how good they are is going to face an opponent that imposes their will on them and requires the same in response. Those are the games where we have got to capitalize on drives. Honestly I get the sense that the Chiefs on some level overlooked us.  So while I am pleased we were as competitive as we were it certainly remains to be seen if this was the beginning for something new or just an anomaly. I think that's a perfectly fair take at this juncture.
