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.

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?

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.

    • Yeah it makes it difficult to get a good read on Ward. He plays a lot of hero ball, but he has to. Kind of like Howell at UNC. 
    • Everyone gives them a tough fight. Their defense is trash.
    • I think it was a few days after the Bears loss I got a notification of a new press conference clip from the Panthers YouTube channel and the headline was about Diontae bloviating about losing a boat to Helene in the midst of all the devastation here to families in North Carolina. I can definitely buy that he was self absorbed and probably not the most pleasant to be around those last few weeks in particular. Anywho some people here were for some reason throwing around a 3rd round pick as return compensation and that was always a pipe dream. Most reasonable people seemed to expect a 4th or 5th at best. I think the ire now is in response to us basically taking everything else on the chin in regards to his salary and basically swapping picks just to rid ourselves of the supposed headache. All this just says Morgan never should have traded for him. He was available for a reason. I'll be interested to see how things go for him in Baltimore. Suffice to say the Ravens are very unlikely to have near as much patience with his antics as the Panthers were.
