What is Boutte’s trade value?

[Bill Lee]

Unless he's on an overnight flight he's not at OTO's. That should tell us something.

Interestingly enough, AJ Brown isn't at Philly's OTOs either!

They had a great draft last year. Have another great draft and this could be a superteam. The names of guys we drafted last year and this year could be pro bowlers in the next few seasons. Trading one 4th or 3rd at worst draft pick for next offseason and one WR who is going to be a free agent and need to get paid is not the end of the world.

They have 11 draft picks, they have undrafted free agency... at last count they had 18 or so open roster spots for camp. Trade one of next years picks for Brown, draft a WR also... why not. Hollins, Boutte and Douglas don't have contracts for next year and Hollins is ancient.

Build a SuperTeam. This is the defending AFC Champion... you can't tell me we're not ready to "win now."

I understand: they made it to the SB last year, which makes my view that they still have very significant remaining work to do in the rebuild sound pretty fishy. I just can't shake the idea that last year's success was not a legit reflection of the team's quality. I know I can't point to any facts - other perhaps than the historically weak schedule - but as I say I just can't help but see last year as in part a mirage. I think I'm right, but I hope you are, and I'll be happy if that turns out to be the case.

The WR talent in the draft falls off somewhere in the third round so a 3rd rounder is my guess.
