[Old 2020 thread] NFL Free Agency/Trade Rumors:

[PWRxWLF]

2 More Questions:

1) If Beau Allen fell in the forrest and no one was around, does he make a sound????

2) Is Beau Allen alive???

I’m sorry, but who’s Beau Allen?

Not FA/trade news but Tua has been named Miami’s new starting qb. Interesting timing considering fitz has been playing well of late.

The Pats should trade for Fitz, just so he can complete the AFC East sweepstakes (and he is better than either Stidham or Hoyer).

He cannot get on the field in Cincinnati but the cost might be worth the risk given WR depth.

Don't judge a player's production too much here in Cincinnati. They're garbage coaches and a bad organization overall... Burkhead is a similar case where when he signed with the Pats, everyone around me was saying "Damn dude you all got a great player who was used terribly here."

I've not heard much on Ross, but he could just be in a bad system. Not that it promises production by any means, but he is certainly motivated to make a statement - it's the whole reason why he wants to be traded, so he has an argument for teams to give him a decent contract after this year.

Apparently the Saints, Eagles, Falcons, rams, steelers(Rapistberger 40 million cap hit) are in cap hell for next season.

He might not work out but if it was a low pick, i'd trade it for Ross. If he could pick it up, he could be good in the offense. Would kill teams with his speed on WR screens

NFL Trade Deadline 2020: A.J. Green, Julio Jones among stars in 10 deals that should be made

Forecasting a bunch of blockbusters that make sense for both sides

The proposed Thuney-Ertz swap is painfully terrible, but beyond that it's mostly a list of guys who are barely worth their contract alone, and therefore have limited pick trade value.

AJ Green: 4th+conditional 6th
Anthony Harris: 4th
Ryan Kerrigan: conditional 4th
Marvin Jones: 6th+7th
David Njoku: 5th
Sheldon Rankins: 5th
Avery Williamson: 5th
James Carpenter: 4th

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

with Ertz missing a month I would put him in the FA category instead of the midseason trade. I would be interested in Njoku for a late rounder.

Don't get your hopes up too high. This team is in need of completely new
wide receiving and tight end corps. Maybe, Asiasi and Keene will be a start
but who knows?

The only way the Falcons can afford to trade Jones is to trade Alex Mack and maybe even another player with him, I was playing with the calculator over at OTC, and the Falcons only have a little less than 2 mil in cap space right now. Trading Jones (because he has a bunch of prorated bonus money spread out over the next three years) adds roughly 12 million to their cap, putting them over by slightly more than 10 mil. The only way to make that work is to include another player or two in the trade whose trade would bring the Falcons salary cap down enough to get them under the cap.

So here is the trade: Jones, Mack and Todd Gurley to the Pats for the Pats First and third round picks next year. Mack is a free agent after this year and so is Gurley, neither one were going to be brought back, so thier inclusion is really the only way the Falcons can trade away Jones and stay under the cap.

Mack could step right in at center, Gurley really doesnt have much left, and Jones would be a just what the doctor ordered. Plus Jones is signed for the next three years. Not sure if the Falcons would go for it, but at least I've made is feasible.

Njoku has wanted out of Cleveland for a while now. BB should definitely at least call for the asking price.

I don't see BB making any trades for players. I could see him trading thuney though.

I’m wondering if for the first time in two decades we will be sellers at the deadline.

Would you guys trade for Ryan and dump Cam?

Outside of Thuney, who else would teams want ?
