St Louis at #2

I would not be surprised if other teams call their bluff and they do not get the big trade they are looking for. I have read and heard that Cleveland is interested in Matt Flynn, a proven cold weather NFL QB who can run their offense. If they sign him, then they can use number 4 on the top WR in Blackmon possibly and then pick up Richardson or another good back later. I think they would like to keep as many picks as possible to rebuild.

St Louis would then hope someone else would want to move up, but why would the Redskins move? Just let RGIII fall to them. Seahawks are interested, but would ruin their organization with all the picks they would have to give up to move to #2.

FA will clear up a lot expecially if Flynn goes to Miami.

I've seen on twitter that the Redskins are ready to offer the Rams their 1, 2, and 3 round picks and a 3rd round next year to move up. Later that day (yesterday) I saw a report that Cleveland is willing to offer #4, #22, their 3rd round pick this year (or maybe even their 2nd rounder), and then another pick next year.

I highly doubt St. Louis will be picking #2. If they can get Cleveland's to offer their 2nd in the deal, they will have 4 picks in the top 37 this year, which is a very deep class. Also, Cleveland has the upper hand because they pick #4. At that spot, Kalil or Blackmon will be there (or maybe both if Minnesota takes Claiborne). If they swap with Washington, all 3 could be gone.

There have also been several reports saying that the Packers will use the tag on Matt Flynn and then possibly trade him. Although, Flynn has said that he wants to stay with Green Bay as the backup.

The Redskins are my faves to move up. I actually think Cleveland likes the talent level where they are picking. I also think they are not finished with Colt. I think instead they will look for a big play WR and a new more durable RB to replace both Hillis and though he will be on the roster next year Hardesty. I mean they could easily have a first round of T-rich and Hill/Randle or Blackmon and Wilson/ Miller or Polk. Is that better than RG3? Maybe.

I agree, I think Cleveland would be smart to stay put. If they could grab Richardson at #4, then Wright at #22, and use their 2nd round pick for the BPA on defense, I'd say it's better than RG3. Give Colt another shot with some talent around him. If things don't work out, next year's draft has a few very talented QBs as well.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
