As long as he labels the GM/Owner a cracker prior to Oct 29th, we should be in good shape.

In before somebody argues Dobson is better

Switzer hardly being used by the Steelers.

Allen is my dream

OJ Howard and Sanu would be pricey but doable, if they a willing to make the moves needed to shed the cap space. Howard....4.51 forty and 6.85 three cone are insane at 6’6’ 250. Yes, please.

Dobson over Allen being a terrible choice isn’t hindsight...Allen was ranked over Dobson by everyone pre draft except NE

But... but Dropson was smart.

The open question is LeCosse. I suspect that BB likes him and would not have signed Watson had LeCosse been healthy. If LeCosse can play later this season, I suspect that we'll keep him on the 53. Otherwise, he goes on IR, to compete in camp in 2020.

This guy so far has been awful and a disappointment...I’m not sure what BB is seeing....Saubert was better than Lacosse!

If that were true, then Saubert would still be with the team.

That why we are sitting at home on a couch and his bust will be on display in Canton.

Nothing more than intel-gathering for da Jete game, then dropped I hope...Dude's not awesome...

I agree. Tomlinson is NOT awesome. Considering that we are replacing Jakob or Izzo, it doesn't take "awesome" to be a serious upgrade.

We often want "awesome" in the weeks before the trade deadline. That's basically trading a 1st or 2nd for a 2020 starter and for help for the rest of the season. We would all celebrate such a mood, although half of the posters would say that we paid too much.

And yes, we could use an awesome addition at C (Andrews to OG), OG, and TE. I wonder how many of us want to part with a 1st or 2nd, or are we all about "stealing" a player?

Great post. Guy is hiding in the weeds. Not featured in the Bears offense. QB still at issue in Chacago.

Some well known caller to Felger and Mazz who apparently has some Pats contacts claims that they will trade Bennett back to Philly, who is hurting at DT, and then will use that cap space to trade for Keenan Allen.

Probably BS, but if not....yes please.

Bennett for Agholor makes more sense...no? BB makes notes on players who have hurt us. He did a number on us in the SB.

Well he had a Safety Chung on him all game because BB thought he was the better match-up over Never mind....

According to Breer (pregame yesterday), Howard is not available.

There were other reports that Howard IS available because he's in the dog house down there. Plus they gave a ton of money to Brate..

patsbrasilpatriotas said:

You are saying that Diggs (that IS indeed a star) and MIN that is in a win now mode, would have to eat a LOT of money and DEAD money is a possibility, but a young upcoming player like CG is dumb.

Maybe If a proposed a trade with Saints for Cooks a years ago would be dumb too ...

And create 5M is not easy and have consequences like not able to sign a player or 2 next year.

Unless things have changed, the remaining pro-rations from Diggs signing bonus would be accelerated to this year. So that would be $12M. The difference would be in how much Minn has paid him this year in Salary. So far, that is $3.24M (Salary + Workout Bonus , as of week 6). So, it's about an additional 3M in cap hit for this season.

That's not really a lot more money than the 12.468M he's already counting on the cap. And it would free up nearly 15M for them next season.

Cameron Brate had a nice game for the Bucs BB it shouldn't take much to acquire him. I'm done with that fragile Jag LaCosse... Izzo sucks as a Blocker but at least he's healthy.

Why do people think that TB is going to trade Brate, whom they just signed to a 5 yr-40.8M deal. They view him highly there.

Cajuste could have started practicing at any point. NFI is not IR..
