I cannot recall such a shitty trade for a decent player that contributes

Basically Robby Anderson+ trade. Johnson is a better player but similar circumstances were incoming, IMO.

No real reason for us to fret about it. It was either this or keep him around to create more and more drama until he got released. That's not a better alternative.

Also if we let him walk in FA. We would have gotten maybe a 3rd compensantory pick. Is our team ran by a bunch of morons? 

Comp pick are not necessary guarantee

Davante Adamas is a ALL PRO, likely future HOF and he got traded for a 3rd round pick. Johnson is not even top 15 WR in the league, Tepper your expectations. 

 

FTFY

So we gained nothing still lol

best case scenario, even if they flame out in round 1 its only like 13 pick difference.  Now if they make a run then its a lot closer.  WTF morgan

Nobody was offering more than a 4th/5th for what's basically an 8 game rental.

Wash got a 3rd for Jahan Dotson and he definitely not as good as Johnson.

A pick is a pick. This is the smart move.

He isn't an elite player, he went after multiple teams had filled their need and he wasn't happy to be here. 

There wasn't much to negotiate about. 

It’s a meaningless swap. The guy we’d get in the 6th is probably the same guy we’ll get late 5th.

Also, on a day when Kirk (possible alternative to Diontae) goes out for the year and Diggs is also out for the year, that’s all we could get? I didn’t even realize Baltimore was interested in another WR but I’m sure Houston is.

I get all of that but there is no way you can realistically convince me there wasnt a team out there that wouldnt even give a 6th for him?  Is he more of a malcontent then Adams?

Don’t forget about eight more spots at the end of the fifth for comp picks

I think people knew they wanted him gone and that is how it goes with disgruntled players when everybody knows it.

Situation sucks. That pick swap compensation really sucks. 

[Jackie Lee]

lol

If Baltimore wins the super bowl and we have the worst record this will be a 1 spot swap. LOL.

 

Edit. Forget about comp picks but still awful.

Like I said, I don't think he was as valuable as people think. If he wasn't he wouldn't have been traded to us for a relatively low price.

He's a talented and high maintenance player that probably creates more BS than he solves in most cases.
