Calvin Johnson anyone?

[mosslost]

ESPN.com article proposes Lions trade Johnson to Pats for a second round draft pic.

ESPN.com.

lol

Nope. Totally unnecessary. They have the #1 offense in the league without him. CB would be where a trade is needed right now.

 

[deters]

Um, cap space?

 

[chasa]

yeah not sure how we fit his nearly 10 million cap dollars into our available space.

 

[Tom_Montana12]

I think we would first have to go to Settings and turn "Salary Cap" to off and "Allow All Trades" to on.

 

[deters]

seriously tho, why the hell would we add another WR when we need OL and CB? ESPN is so stupid. How do those idiots get paid to write this nonsense.

 

[everlong]

Sure let do it and then not sign Hightower, Jones or Collins in the coming years because of the cap hit for Johnson.

Minitron > Megatron.

Offensive line is more urgent I'd say. If we're not careful, Edelman will be playing right guard soon.

On the same day that ESPN terminated Grantland, the still-employed trash there put out this level of quality.

I feel they will be fine. I worry about the depth at CB.

Hopefully Jackson ends up being something minor. It will be better when Mason and Stork come back. Thankfully, Andrews has been very good and they had Wendell waiting as a backup.

MongoSPN....whacked out ,butt hurt morons.They so desperately want something, anything to do with the Patriots success yet are 100% excised from anything even tangentially associated with BB and the management. Someone should send that hack who proposed this piece of ludicrous feces a dog biscuit.

 

[Kontradiction]

This was one of those "dream trade" type of scenarios that the writer was talking about. Not that the Pats may actually be interested. And while I would love to see Johnson in a Pats uniform, I'd rather them trade for Sean Smith.

 

[patchick]

Since most of this board (quite reasonably) won't touch ESPN, I just thought I'd offer a public service announcement before anybody wastes time constructing counterarguments:

The writer was just goofing around proposing "what if" dream trades. He knows the $$ would never work in reality. (His "trade proposal" includes a trifling salary for Johnson and a $10 million front office job for Johnson's fiancée. And yes, he's joking.)

And somehow he would do a credible job of it.

So it was the usual ESPN wasting of time?

Great.

Who needs substance anyway?

 

[TheFlyingWedge]

Yeah - we seriously need to upgrade our offensive weapons - its our achilles heel and will be the teams undoing in the postseason.

 

[XLIX]

ESPN appeals to their moron base. They draw clicks to their own articles by throwing out a big name player to a big name team.

A "Calvin Johnson to New England" story is not even remotely realistic, but they don't care about that because it draws more clicks than something that could actually happen, such as (for example) some offensive lineman from St. Louis being traded for a 6th rounder in order to add some depth to an injured front.
