Aw, hell with it.  Let's just go full on suck mode and trade everybody and see how the how much people around here love the ten year rebuild.  Get that rookie QB and MAYBE by the time we're ready to compete, his rookie deal will be over and by then, the going rate for QB's will be thirty plus mil a year.

Just remember how much fun last year's  offense was without AJ and then picture him never being here.  Yeah, that'll be a ball.  Haskins with nobody to throw to.  Woo Hoo!

I'd say careful what you wish for but the madness is too full on to even bother.

And AJ'll love it too.  By the time the Jets are any good, he'll be forty.

And btw, does anybody really think the Jets would make that trade?  The best receiver in the game brought in a third and fifth..  And nobody was trying to move up eight spots in the draft.  People pay multiple first rounders for such a move.

I'm intrigued by the concept of drafting Haskins, but I'm also in the camp of "AJ Green, Bengal for life!" You gotta do your best to keep guys like Whit,Geno, and AJ. It's really that simple. They're pillars of the franchise.  And yes, AJ is "that good", as well.

Quote:The Falcons signed Matt Ryan to an extension last offseason, and it’s looking like they’ll be locking up their other franchise player. The Falcons are “closing in on” a contract extension with Julio Jones, according to Mike Freeman of Bleacher Report.

Freeman reports that the deal will pay Jones “$20 million a year over a four- or five-year” pact, with “anywhere from $50 million to $60 million in new guarantees.” Jones’ contract situation has caused a lot of headaches for the team recently, so this would be a huge development. Jones still has two years left on his current contract, but is grossly underpaid. Jones signed a very team-friendly deal a few years back, and decided last year that he wanted to be more fairly compensated.

AJ Green and his agent have used Julio as a base for negotiations in the past, so it's a safe bet that Green's next deal might resemble Julio's.

(03-24-2019, 10:35 AM)THE PISTONS Wrote: The risk with Ross in my view is this: He SHOULD be our #3 WR, but his production is nowhere near what we need at that level. Then past him, our WR's on the roster outside of Green and Boyd are pretty bad. (People will chime in how Erickson is a good #3, but he's pretty bad at WR and better at kick returner.)

IF we rely on Ross as the #3 without bringing in other options...and he fails, we're in trouble. When Eifert went down, if we had a #3 WR who was viable we might have been ok.

Also without a viable #3, IF we lose Green or Boyd...we're in HUGE trouble.

And that trade as laid out seems pretty far removed from reality.  Takes a lot more than that to move 8 spots at the top of the draft.  You're looking at at least two first rounders and then some.

Since this is all fantasy, I say trade John Ross and Cody Core for the first pick in the draft.
