Should we have been in on Roquan?

My bad, I guess I’m an idiot. I guess we could get a Greg little or a Terrace Marshall for that 2nd with our draft history vs a stud linebacker with 83 tackles through 7 games. I’m dumb

I like the idea of adding him. It’s just the fact that we need several more pieces. That’s why those draft picks are so vital for us.

The biggest problem is you'd be getting him as a 1 year rental in a clearly lost season. Chicago didn't extend him cause he wanted a massive contract. You really want to give up significant draft capital for an inside linebacker you have to pay a fortune to extend? No way.

This right here is the reason why you say no.  Baltimore is trying to keep up with KC and Buffalo to win the Super Bowl this season.  They gave up quite a bit for a LBer that will play out the season and be asking for big bucks.  They already have to worry about signing Lamar.

We're not in the position to give up capital and also figure out a way to sign him and Burns.

    • I don't know--they represent the entire body of players and this be determined, if it got to that point, by a vote of all veterans and rookies who are part of the union.  If the elite players are getting 50% of all cap increases, the non-elite players with shorter careers might want a bigger slice of the pie and vote accordingly.  To say that the Union would not go for it is not something I agree with--it would be the union that proposes it--based on a proposal and a majority vote.  If the veteran players vote for an equal distribution framework, then all 53 on a roster benefit from a cap increase that is applicable to the entire team.  Not sure how labor laws might be impacted...
    • Carter, Graham, or Walker and I might roll the dice hoping Walker is around later.  If Hunter is there at 8, we are about to get a really nice haul for trading back.
    • Oh well. That's his fault if he wants to eat up all the cap space and have no protection as a result. A big part of why Brady has all those rings is that he generally took team friendly deals. Not that he wasn't making a mega ass ton of money, but he wasn't leaving his team cap strapped due to his contract while Peyton Manning generally tried to negotiate for every dime he could get forcing the Colts to make tough decisions.
