No more trading for best that you need to pay shortly after acquiring. We need to draft well and replenish.

So that this year and next offseason money will open up

The main difference with Green Bay is that they offered him a deal on par with what he got from the Raiders. He just refused to continue to play for the Packers even at equal money.

Their trading him was much less intentional than it was our trading Hill.

Everybody wants this guy...and then immediately doesn't want this guy and unloads him as soon as possible.

4 teams in 7 years is pretty telling.

First thing that comes to mind with Cooks is him getting knocked the **** out in the Super Bowl. That was a big ****ing hit.

He’s younger than Cooper Kupp lol

He’s got scrambled eggs for brains, otherwise he’s a pretty damn good WR.

Is this guy the ultimate in value? Has there been any other, non QB, player ever traded for so many picks?
Cooks was drafted in 2014 20th overall immediately traded for the 27th and 91st in the same draft. After 3 years, 2800 yards, and 20 TDs, the Saints traded him to the Pats for the 32cd and 103rd. After one year the Pats traded him for 23rd and 198th to the Rams. After 2 years he was traded to the Texans for the 57th overall pick. After 2 years now the Texans are now considering trading Cooks.
Up to this point Cooks value in draft picks has been 3 first rounders, 1 second rounder, 2 third rounders and 1 sixth rounder.

In this day an age, you need a top QB to be a strong perennial contender. That is the general consensus backed up by a lot of recent data. But you don't need a top QB to win one Super Bowl and that is what the Dolphins may be trying to pull off in the next 2-3 years.

Tua in all likelihood is not a long term answer for the Dolphins but he may be a good value at QB over the next 2-3 years.

The standard for a QB to win a single SB isn't as high if that QB is on a rookie contract/relatively lowly paid and the team isn't having to carry too many bad contracts.

Dolphins appear to be positioning themselves for a SB run a year from now with or without Tua.

I would not be surprised at all if Tua has a fairly good season this year statistically speaking and he does a better job running the ball but I wouldn't invest big money in him on a 2nd contract given the injury risk and what I perceive as his level of talent.

Looks like the GM's are going into draft mode. All is quiet, every team doing their homework on this upcoming rookie class. I don't believe for a second Veach will be trading up in the first round, like many are project. That would be a huge mistake.

I think with the massive and deep draft class gms are just waiting it out. A lot of these guys may be left in the coke. Guys like Albert Wilson come to mind.

Well 12 rookies aren’t going to make the team so they have to do something

IMO, 2nd to 3rd round will be the Chiefs sweet spot for trades.

4 of those picks are 7th rounders and I bet 9 (or maybe even 10) of the picks make the final roster.

Four of those are 7th rounders; it just means that's where you grab your priority UDFA's, and probably stash them on the practice squad.

There are 8 meaningful draft picks, all in the first four rounds. Most of the veteran depth on the team is gone, and there are starter reps to be had at several positions, so yeah, I really DO think we're keeping just about all of these picks.

indeed. it's not a normal year. we have more meaningful depth-holes than normal.

Yeah, may trade a couple of those 7th's.

This team has always been at their best when they're counted out. I expect a great season as all the talk I g heads and opponents are saying the run is over.

I get it... but, I doubt too many talking heads really believe that storyline. If nothing else, they're doing their best to talk up the competitiveness, but I doubt any of them really believes that KC is on a decline.

yup

Anything good left on the trash heap that is FA ?

only Todd Heap, scho and he's 42!

Don't you?

In the last 20 years there have been 2 SB winners who were quarterbacked by dudes who aren't going to the HoF. The Ravens w/ Flacco and Eagles with Foles.

And Flacco was at least very good at the time. He also happened to get white hot in that playoff stretch and Tua simply doesn't have that club in his bag.

Trying to win a SB w/ a 'meh' quarterback is exactly why many of these teams have failed at it. It's why the 49ers lost for sure. Garropollo had the game in his hands and just overthrew a wide open Emanuel Sanders. That's the throw a championship caliber QB needs to make and Grapes just couldn't.

And with the stack of QB firepower in the AFC (not to mention the 1-bye format), an Eagles situation where a team w/ a mediocre QB gets a first round bye then beats a decaying Matt Ryan and completely overmatched Case Keenum to get to the SB just isn't happening.

Nah - the Dolphins are drawing dead.

With guys like Fountain and Cornell Powell locking down the bottom of the roster, who's to say 9-10 couldn't make the roster/PS?

It's that time of year again

Why hasn't brunt verch rtaded for all the wid reveicers

Cook, no thank you.

Metcalf, absolutely as long as the contract provides savings over Tyreeks contract.

McLaurin, yep.

Actually, a bit surprised we weren't in on Parker from MIA, seems to fit our new look WR mold.

He's always hurt and old.

It’s only McLaurin for me, dude has been my crush ever since his college days.

I think Scarry Terry goes for as much as DK and i think id rather have DK for the money.

Nah I’m good, I’ll take Terry if the price is the same.

What's crazy to me is that Cooks has been traded 4 or 5 times already. Seems like there might be some red flags with him and the fact that Houston wants a 2nd is laughable.

You trade away Hopkins for a 2nd, and then 2years later want another 2nd for Cooks? You played yourself

https://nflpa.com/reports/public-salary-cap-report

This is best one

Whats even crazier is the saints almost had 2019 chiefs level skill talent overlap but couldnt keep all of them happy. Jimmy Graham only overlapped cooks for one year then two years later Michael Thomas and Cooks only overlapped for one year. Imagine if they had kept all three together then drafted Kamara in 17?

uh why

2 first next year and gonna be a better QB draft

I guess they dont trust Jalen to tank them properly while stocking the cabinet for the new guy.

So the Saints want two first round picks?

Are they going WR and QB?

I tried to do the math here and just went crosseyed.

But it still seems like the Eagles got hosed here.

They gave up 2 firsts this year for a first this year, a third this year, first next year and a second the year after that? With some scrap thrown in.

So 2 firsts for an adjusted return of a first, a second (present value of a 1st next year), a third and a 4th (present value of a 2nd TWO years from now)? And let's just cancel the firsts out by swapping the 18 and 19 then deleting them outright.

The 16 essentially yielded a second, a third and a 4th.

This is a rat-****ing, no?

Seems to me like this is a straight up steal by the Saints.

God i'm glad we have QB1

Good - we want these QBs coming off the board. The sooner Willis comes off, the sooner Ridder comes off and the sooner Pickett comes off. Getting 3 of these QBs selected before 29 can really ease some of the pressure on DL and WR in this draft.

Maybe the Eagles don't like the top end of this draft as much?

The Eagles still got ****ed in value...but who the **** knows. That's a lot for the Saints to give up if they want to take one of these QBs.

So Eagles want more firsts next year. GIve Hurtz a year then have ammo next year to go get a QB if you don't like what you see.

I mean...if the Eagles got ****ed on value for that trade....

Do you think they'll take 94 and a 4th rounder in 2023 to move up from 29 to 15?

Saints first next year might be top 5 they’re gonna be awful.

Hell, offer them next year's first, one of our 3rds this year and the comp pick next year for 15.

I mean that's essentially what they got from NOLA for the 18.

What a terrible return.

Yeah, I'd guess they're banking on the Saints being awful and that pick ends up being like a #3

If you could turn that into Jermaine Johnson and still have 29 and 30 this year?

I'm not saying I would hate it.

Don't trade next years one, I've been told those are too valuable.......(jerk off gif)

That analysis doesn't appear to be discounting for the future value of the picks at all. Gives them the same value as if they were in this year's draft.

Now with as bad as NOLA might be, I'm not saying that's completely unfair - but it's definitely a gamble, especially in the garbage NFC South where literally everyone got worse.

Banner thinks the Eagles will use this year to build Hurts value and get a new one next year.

Dallas and Jets will be adding WR, via FA or draft.

I really hope the Chiefs can score a trade like that from a QB desperate team at the end of the first rd.

What a steal of a trade by Philly

Other than Ward, the demand for the Chiefs free agent players has not exactly been high.

And still nothing on McKinnon.

Taylor Stallworth is JAG on his best day. We're so thin at DT that we're kicking the trash pile searching for anybody. With that said, he'll probably give Nnadi and Saynders a run for their money in camp. Especially if Saunders continues to miss time.
