They may sign too many free agents to get any comp picks. Over $65 million in cap room next season, plus another $10 million when they cut Flacco. It could make sense to trade Harris and Sanders now so they’re free to sign whoever they want without worrying about offsetting comp picks.
The Team in CAP hell and going no where fast and , oh-by-the-way, their QB is now hurt, is the Falcons. Picks might be worth something but right now we are short on weapons.
My thoughts? How about a 2nd and a 5th to the Falcons for both Hooper and Sanu?
Hooper is in his final year and I am sure he wants out of that mess and Sanu has one year plus this.Both are CAP COST $9.850 (about the same as AB).
I can hear my Cousins howling now....."A 2nd???? are you crazy?" ...The Pats will look high for a TE in the 2020 Draft. If we are a late first picks or have a second round pick waiting for a top shelf TE, why take a chance on a Rookie TE? Why not make this tarde with the intent of extending Hooper right away. Sanu gives us WR depth for this year and next and is a good Red Zone target,
Then again, the Pats gave up a first for Cooks. The trade worked out. Maybe.....and I am saying just maybe....our first pries Howard from the Bucs? But the Bucs still feel they are
in it, Can we get a better player on what we all hope is a late first round pick in the 2020 Draft other than He is $3mm and 3.5mm in 2020. A bargain. Brate, their other TE has a salary of $7mm. I might do a 1st for Howard. He's only 24.
Adam Shaheen nake sense with the Bears, but they feel they are still in it. Perhaps Bennett for Shaheen? The Bears seem to need DL help. Hicks is hurt. Nichols has been hurt. Bennett would get plenty of snaps.
But the best partner might be Dimitroff who has a job to worry about and a dead Team. He lowers the CAP, picks up premium picks and he stays. With Jones and Ridley thay have one of the best tandems of WR in the NFL. They can build around that. The need a Cowboys type O Line to protect Ryan. When the were in the SB they had a line and some great backs. They lost some O Line pieces and they were never the same.
Thoughts?
