Dude I was agreeing with you. That TE everybody is bashing had receiving stats almost as good (if not better) than that WR.

Learn to comprehend.

Yeah i need to read slower next time... i brushed over it and shot from the hip. My bad.

You guys have valid points. Maybe he will contribute. Maybe he won't. But in my personal opinion, I'm not too worried about him being in ATL. I would be much more worried about a division rival getting some of the younger talent that was previously available, that's all.

Yup, it would suck to see them pick up a really good young talent. Like a solid 2nd rounder :D

I think it's a good move for both sides.

Funny that Peterson could never get a second rounder for Gonzo when he was the GM. I know that's what they were supposedly holding out for that and one team (GB I think) was willing to give up a third which is what I think Gonzales says was promised would be the level sought when he asked for a trade before but KC went back on it according to him.

Agreed. That's my point. I think for a young team that has a lot of core young talent, you need all the low round draft picks you can get to build a young nucleus. I'm sure he may come in and make a difference, but I think when you've got a rookie QB and a really young HB, in Ryan and Turner, you could get someone solid for years for the O-Line in the 2nd rounder.

I have complete understanding and to just dismiss this as a salary cap move is laughable. For a 34 year old douchey QB a salary cap move is a 2-3 extension with a helluva lot less then 20 million owed. Especially after he poo the bed.

I would love to hear what your "solution" at QB would be... no wait, I wouldn't because it would probably be as unreasonable and ridiculous as your opinion on most everything else... LOL

You clearly don't understand why spreading out 45 million over 5 years is cheaper then spreading it out over 2 or 3 years. You also clearly don't understand why they would make half the contract guaranteed money. I feel sad for you.

Making fun of a team that traded for a 33 year old HOF TE when their team just signed their mediocre 34 year old QB to a 5/42 million dollar deal...

IRONY...

Criticizing a cap-strapped team for signing their starting QB to an extension because you don't understand how the salary cap works.

Okay, that's not really ironic - it's just pathetic.

Right now he's better than any TE they have on the roster, so the move makes sense from that perspective, but it's a short-term fix at the cost of drafting a young player in the 2nd round that could be a long-term solution.

Just ask the Skins how this approach works out.

      Chris Simms: Jalon Walker is the most overrated player in the draft

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I always get lectured every year when we inevitably win some meaningless late season games to tank our draft position that we're building culture and you always have to try to win no matter what. This is why that's bullshit. Once you're out of contention it's to your competitive advantage to LOSE.

      You’re tripping I hear what you’re saying but you’re not thinking of the benefits that trade gives us. We can then move around in the second round or late in the first to grab a specific player we covet like M Starks late in the 1st. Let me clarify if we’re at 21 we grab W Nolen or K Grant then trade up late in the 1 or early in the second giving up next years second for M Starks or T Amos there so much that can happen with that additional ammo.  Allowing us still so much leverage in next years draft as well with two first rounders we’d be dam crazy not to take a trade like that it’s not the big haul or heavy amount of picks we’re hoping for but it’s gets us multiple players especially ones we’ve seemed to taken a liking to like Nolen etc along with the safety from SC. or even a Luther B or James P early in the second. This nice influx in talent would help way more than a player like Jalon W. because of his high bust rate or probability  to bust….you know what I mean.  We need players we all know that those extra picks allow us to give up something this year to add key pieces from the 29-40 range that we may really like and have a need for (T Amos) and it not hurt as much because we’re stacked in round one of 26. Which could also be a pick one trade one scenario next year giving us more ammo to manipulate the draft to a winning situation for us long term. Al that to say we desperately need to be actively seeking a trade because we could add real talent in multiple spots this year and next with that current trade your opposing.

      [The Athletic] Do teams pay attention to NFL media mock drafts? Maybe more than you’d expect

      According to their list, the top guy hasn't put out a mock yet and the 2nd guy has us trading to 4 for Carter.
