Would you trade 2025 1st for Lamb?

[Huckleberry1]

Jerrah has a real problem. He can’t pay Parsons, Prescott, and Lamb. Even though there is talk he will let Prescott walk I don’t believe it, as you can’t win without a QB, and Jerrah wants a ring before he goes to the big White House in the sky.

CeeDee Lamb is likely to be the one Jerrah moves, and the Patriots 1st in 2025 would seriously tempt him, as it will likely be a high pick even with Lamb coming to NE. So, if the Patriots are given the opportunity to sign Lamb to a long term deal would you trade the 2025 1st round pick for him?

 

[cstjohn17]

Yes, in a second, most 1st rounders end up being less than average NFL players. We have cap space and a #1 WR helps the entire offense.

 

[Kdo5]

I would be inclined to trade a first rounder for Lamb. My hold up is LT. It’s completely unaddressed and next years pick ought to be for that if there’s no good FA options.

I’m curious to see what Polk and Baker can do.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Most of the time we don’t think a team will pay the players, they somehow pay them.

Prescott, Lamb and Parsons aren’t going anywhere.

 

[Huckleberry1]

I voted yes.

I realize the need for a franchise LT with that pick will have many rejecting it, unfortunately next years class of Tackles is the opposite of this year’s, with there being almost no talk of franchise tackles being available in the class.

Lamb is a true #1 WR, and although it will be a costly deal they need to get Maye the weapons to succeed, and adding Lamb to this Receiver unit could accomplish that.

I disagree. The Cowboys are already up against the cap, and they aren’t going to be able to pay all 3 the big money deals it will take to keep them.

And the question is whether you would do it if it’s possible?

Dak is not on the other side of Jerruh's glory hole .... he gags under pressure.
It's just not happening a 1st might bring him a QB ...
Jerruh should actually pull a Ditka and trade everything to get Beck ... it's his only hope.

If Jerrah wants to replace Dak the Patriots pick would likely be his best shot at it.

I don’t think Jerrah wants to trade any of them this year, however that pick has to be mighty tempting to him. The 3 contracts would cost him around a half a billion $$$, and take up around 100 million in cap space. And the reports are that Lamb isn’t showing for OTA’s.

If I’m Eliot Wolf I’m making the call and floating the offer to him. If he doesn’t bite then no harm no foul, if he does they could fix the #1WR right now.

I agree, no way Jones let any of those guys go. It's extremely rare a team trades or let's a HOF type player go when they are still in their prime.

That said, if Jones was willing to part ways with Lamb for only a 1st rd pick, do it.

Lamb, Bourne, Osborne, Baker, and Polk would be a great Wr corps for Maye. All those guys would be the same cost of Prescott alone while Maye is on his rookie deal. That's a championship offense if Maye works out

 

[jboston19]

No. I think the odds of it being a top pick again are too high. We no longer have to take a qb there and can trade with someone who does.

[n1997y]

No. We have too many question marks to think he’d make the difference for us to compete for the Lombardi, and that’s the only thing that would justify such a trade.

We don’t yet have the QB room ready to need him. Our OL is a sieve. Our WRs are ahead of both of those.

We need OL strength, maybe LT if Anderson or Wallace don’t pan out, but OL is still more important even if he does.

Polk and Baker need a chance to show what they can do. With them plus Bourne, Osborn, and Pop Douglas our WRs are strong enough for our present QB and OL roster.

This would be strengthening an area that doesn’t need it, by trading away the best way to strengthen areas that need improvement.

 

[patfanken]

ABSOLUTELY disagree. Can you guys count? Are you so enamored with ANY top WR that you will sell your soul to pay $40MM/yr to the detriment of the rest of your roster.

It's not that I'm against drafting a WR, but EVERY single year colleges send the NFL enough quality WR's so getting a good prospect in the 2nd or 3rd round is almost a guarantee.

Next year we SHOULD (IMHO) definitely be picking the best DT or edge available when we draft, which is likely going to be in the top 10, so I'm being constantly told.

We brought in virtually no one on D in this draft, and will need help. Of we do go offense first, I'd much rather choose a LT or can't miss TE if there's one available.

There will be plenty of shots to spend an obscene amount of money on WR's in FA next, March, when THAT class is likely to be BETTER than this last one. AND larger.

Why spend that kind of $ AND a top 10 pick, when if WR is your priority, you can keep your pick and still spend your big $ on one in FA if that is the way you want to go

How about you look at their ACTUAL cap situation for 2025. They have a projected 65M.
They have a projected 65M in cap space with Lamb, Prescott, Lawrence, and Martin Unsigned.

OvertheCap already has them picking up Parson's 5th year option deal INCLUDED in the 2025 number. Which means they don't have to worry about him until 2026 when they have a projected 185M..

Lawrence will 33. It's unlikely he'll be re-signed. So that 7.55M is included already and there really isn't much they can do.

Martin will be 34 and I can GUARANTEE that he'll be classified as a Post June 1st Retiree/Cut just like McCourty was last year for the Pats. That will free up 17M for them as the money for during the season.

So that takes us to Prescott. He'll count 40.1M IF they don't sign him to an extension. They could EASILY sign Dak to a 4yr/$240M deal with $80M signing bonus and it would only INCREASE the cap hit from 40M this year to 50M.

That still leaves PLENTY of money for Lamb. Especially since they would still have over 50M

The situation is not as dire as you make it out to be in the least bit.

Especially since in 2026, they have a projected 185M in cap space as I mentioned above. .

 

[Dec54]

As I understand it, next year's draft is not as strong as this year's has been. As I think there is a fair chance of us having another high pick, then yes if Jerry will do it trade the 1st round pick for Lamb. No brainer for me. But there again my wife says I don't have a brain.

 

[RobertWeathers]

They'll find a way to keep him.

 

[Wax Frog]

Why spend that kind of $ AND a top 10 pick, when if WR is your priority, you can keep your pick and still spank y our big $ on one

 

[Toofy]

If we find a keeper in Polk or Baker we are good. No need to invest resources there. We will get a cost controlled elite LT for next 5 years when maybe is on rookie contract . No need to spend 30 million on wr and also 1st round pick . That's nuts

 

[archstanton543]

No. Not when they'll likely be picking in the top 10 next draft.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

No. Not when they'll likely be picking in the top 10 next draft.

They most likely will have the top pick, top 5 almost certainly.

You don't trade that away, for a guy you then have to pay.
