i saw he was playing this weekend this morning. Did they announce they are sitting him? That timeline actually works out for us - if we did this

I saw him say he didn’t expect to miss much time if any

Really trying to think who’d they be calling about.

Terry McLaurin? Davante Adams (almost 32)? I really don’t think the 49ers would trade Aiyuk. I’m ruling out the teams in our division so no Evans or Pitts. Amari Cooper? Jerry Jeudy can’t stay healthy. Courtland Sutton I’m not sure qualifies as top tier. Miami isn’t trading Waddle in year 3 of a rookie deal with a 5th year option. Jameson Williams hasn’t proved anything yet. Christian Watson? Devonta Smith?

Tee Higgins makes the most sense I think. We’re not getting Chase or Jefferson

I still don't understand how people can honestly think Higgins isn't a #1

Far too often in today's NFL fans, they view things in terms of fantasy football, not real life football.

No, Higgins isn't a WR1 in fantasy football, he's "just a 2" for fantasy, but there are 32 teams in the NFL, if you don't think he's one of the top 32 WRs in the league, you don't know football.

No, he's not a Top 10 guy, but only 10 teams can have a top 10 guy, and that's if no teams have two of them (like the Dolphins might with Tyreek and Waddle).

But YES, Higgins is without question a WR1 in real life NFL football, no question about it.

Having said that, not sure the Bengals would give him to us for what I'd like, I'd do Burns for Higgins and a high pick (I'd like a first but don't think they do that, maybe a 2nd).  But I'm not sure they do that before they know they can't make a playoff run this year, and even then, not sure they're trading Higgins plus a pick for a player they have to give a big contract to, more likely will just trade Higgins for a pick.

I just got higher standards for passing out #1 labels to WRs, i get why many think hes a #1.

Has higgins ever forced a defense to double him?? I dont think even before chase thee great came he has....

Everyone saying they don't want Fitt to trade anymore is missing the point that this is no doubt a mandate from Tepper.

[Bear Hands]

Higgins has a different minor injury that he plays through every few weeks.  I don't find him appealing in the least for what we apparently are looking for.

I don't mind the idea of Marquise Brown.  He's much more in line with what we need right now as we need someone who can turn short throws into TDs and have gamebreaking speed/plays.  

My hope is one thing - just don't give up another first.

Call Atlanta and ask them if they aren’t planning on using Pitts or London if they are available. Maybe leverage that call into them trading for Andy Dalton so somebody can throw those two the ball.

It would be the most Fitterer thing ever to give the Bears more assets for some POS like Chase Claypool. Hell, he's dumb enough to trade real assets for Robbie "Chosen"/Anderson. Not like he hasn't bid against himself before.

Fit doesn’t have a choice.

Those were 2 guys I thought of as well but calling a division rival during a time of desperation will end horribly for us

This is the darkest timeline. But honestly, they don’t throw the ball with Ridder so you might as well get something for him. 

[CamWhoaaCam]

Who is even available?

 

Higgins seems like the most realistic. Devonta Adams might be available, but he most likely wants a contending team.

 

Fitt is about to do something stupid I can feel it in my bones!

Bro just tell Adams we are one player away *shrug*

[hepcat]

Cooper Kupp and some solid draft capital for Brian Burns. 

[Hoenheim]

It's just pure idiocy. We don't need a wr right now we need better play calling and better pass blocking.

We could have tyreek hill and devante adams right now and they're not going be doing a ton with all their targets being 10 yards or less and a majority of them being at or around the LOS.

I gotta think they’re thinking they’ll make a move for a QB this offseason so they may not want to trade off offensive pieces. I mean they don’t need to look far to see how that worked out for us. 

What would you be willing to move for Pitts? I’d much rather him over London especially for Bryce
