Seriously doubt we make a move.  He would be awesome for the right price.  But I don't think we can handle whatever he will be asking, because of Hurney and his running back contracts.  I could see him maybe going to a team that is on the cusp of a Super Bowl and wants to take him for the short term [the age thing], or maybe the Patriots will pick him up [hopefully not before we play them, though].

I'd love to have him...for a better price that is. His contract is far too bloated for me to give up anything for him. Besides, if we picked him up it would only be a band aid. We still need to draft a #1 WR.

He would be an elite #2 for the next 6-7 years. I don't think that's a bandaid.

Are you serious? He just beatdown the best corner in the NFL.

 

I didn't say he sucked or anything, I said his best years were behind him.  Obviously he's still damn good, but it's not like he has some upside... if anything it's likely all downhill from here on out.

 

We need to look to the future, not trade picks for a 30+ year old WR who is going to cost waaaay too much damn money.

      My one and only mock draft

      By ECHornet · Posted

      Walker/Stewart>Mykel on EDGE for me I’d still like to add TMac.    The only two WRs we have contracted beyond this year are XL and Coker (ERFA). Moving forward with TMac and those two feels much better.

      The trade below a few years ago was so bad and in favor of the Ravens, tf was Arizona doing Cardinals receive: Marquise Brown and 3rd round pick  Ravens receive: 23rd overall pick

      keaton is a former Catamount.  The list I saw had only 2--Sanker and Emmanwori.  But I do recall hearing about Bowman. The theory that we are looking for specific hybrid safeties is upheld by this.  Keaton fits the "type" who can play zone or deep and in the box.  "He's a physical player with a high motor and a nose for the football. He has a good understanding of zone coverage and can play in the box as a force defender. Keaton is a leader and has earned a single-digit jersey number at Temple, a tradition reserved for team leaders." At WCU, he averaged 6.5 tackles per game, leading the team before transferring. Sanker has special teams abilities and a high football IQ.  He can cover TEs and RBs and keeps the play in front.  He would be a nice fit as a depth player.  I did not know they met with Bowman at the SR bowl.  He is more of a free safety who struggles in tackling/run support, but that is not to say he is not versatile within his capabilities. Stark is a SS who is a brutal hitter, but I don't see his hybrid qualities--they met with him at the Combine when everyone was in the building, but that was nearly 2 months ago and I don't think there has been contact since. Emmanwori is who they would love to have in my opinion.  NFL Draft Buzz:  "His ability to play in the box, handle man coverage responsibilities, and deliver bone-crushing hits makes him an ideal fit for defenses that ask their safeties to wear multiple hats." So it seems they are looking for a type.  The Keaton pick is intriguing to me because he is a sleeper who would clearly be there in round 5 or later.  They seem attracted to his characteristics, and he is a thumper who can play deep.  To me, the fact that they want 2 hybrid safeties of a certain type is rather obvious.  Maybe I am forcing a round peg into a square hole, but I love trying to see what skillsets teams value to guess draft picks.
