Yea I’d rather just draft a dude with a late pick than trade for a guy we know sucks.

Why not both? Jt plus Mayer plus a late round te. 

Thomas is hopefully gone forever. Tremble is ok but unspectacular and a fa. 

We actually have the luxury of many late round picks. Trade 1 for Mayer. Draft a te. 

Still leaves us with 7 picks and a stocked young te room

So basically draft 2 TEs?

Cough cough don't draft a blocking TE high.

No idea about the personal reasons but this guy is a TE #2 max. I would rather have that on a rookie deal. On the flip side could he be worse than Thomas at anything?

We could also draft a guy of that caliber on a much smaller contract deal.

That's what I meant when I said would rather have that kind of player on a rookie deal. Vs a guy coming off of it is what I didn't say.

Again, if the team wasn't in such need of meaningful talent then overpaying a little for an older blocking TE the coach could trust wouldn't be unusual. Giving up more than 1 pick is just dumb given the situation for us tho and there is still repairing what that last cap guy did before they can hit normal opperating IMO. Spending money like the peak Saints with so little talent was not a good combo.

He’s on a rookie deal for two more years. Mayer would be a great pairing with Sanders. 
 

Mayer is 23yo. We’re rebuilding. It makes a lot of sense.

Or just draft a guy with that pick and get 4 years on a rookie contract. Nothing about this team screams close to contending. Just build with young healthy guys who have a larger windows on rookie contracts. This guy was drafted in the 2nd so I'm guessing they don't let him walk for a 5th like some are assuming. A blocking TE shouldn't be in the first 3 or 4 picks with this team and it's lopsided needs.

Here’s what we’d be on the hook for the next two years:

We won’t find much cheaper options. He’s a pretty perfect compliment to Sanders. He’d be what Ian Thomas was supposed to be all these years. 
 

I’m for it. I’d give up a 5th and 6th for him. Those are likely fringe roster spots anyway.

Why not let the Raiders release him? He's been mediocre at best and they probably would rather draft a backup to Bowers with upside. If we actually want to improve the TE room, Mayer sure doesn’t seem to be the way to do it.

Mayer easily clears Tremble imo. We likely can’t resign Tremble for less than we would be paying Mayer after a trade. Win win in my opinion. 
 

Sanders/Mayer TE room is easily our best since Greg.

    • I know every jersey thread goes in this direction, but I feel the need to say it.  The Chinese knockoffs are not your friend. Not only does the money not go to the panthers, but you don't control where it does go. The athletic did an excellent podcast on the business of counterfeit shirts not too long ago. I could care less about the legality of it, but the morality of it is no bueno. Now I need to wash off the "defends billionaire class" off myself, but like don't give your money to those people. If you can't afford a jersey, just go to ebay, or a thrift store, or wear a t shirt. 
    • A friend of mine, Chip, was taking an exam in a business course that he had failed twice before.  He would have to drop out of his major if he failed it for a third time--he claimed the professor, Dr. Brown, despised him, and several others who had Dr. Brown's class with Chip confirmed that Dr. Brown's hatred for Chip was obvious.  Before the exam, Chip was up all night cramming, confiding to his roommate Jeff how nervous he was.  Jeff was understanding and listened carefully.  During the exam (an evening course) Jeff was at work delivering flowers for a local florist.  As Chip describes it, a woman (another student who worked with Jeff) entered the classroom with flowers and a card with the words "Dr. Brown" written on the card.  The professor immediately sent the girl out; Jeff was watching from the hallway.  She left the flowers on his desk and scampered out.  Chip laughed because he thought the professor, a man he hated, was being pranked.  A few minutes later, the professor opened the envelope, and read the card.  Chip was still laughing.  He walked toward the students, still taking a timed test, and stopped at Chip's desk, staring at him.  Chip stopped laughing.  He dropped the card on Chip's desk while snarling at him silently.  Chip read the card, "Dr. Brown.  I can't tell you how much I have grown under the three semesters of your tutelage and guidance.  You are my role model.  I will miss you." --Chip Fxxxxx.  Chip made a C.
