I live 45 mins from Pittsburgh. I play sports and wore a Bengals hoodie this weekend.
It's definately reacted to a lot better than it was 10 years or so ago.

I like this. Plus, the Tee injury bug worries would be gone too. WTS, not sure if Pitts has a injury history quite like Tees, but if he doesn't, I would feel really good about such a scenario.

Trade Tee to the titans so he can go home and get a cpl picks for him.

I'm 100% on-board with both a 2-TE offense and a less predictable offense, but I don't know how much of a blocker Pitts is. We know Gesicki isn't a blocker, so that might just put us at 2 TEs who don't block, plus Tanner Hudson... who doesn't block. Lol

But the Commanders do have a reason to trade Payne as you suggest - especially after releasing Allen? Then also throw in Coleman and a pick? Newton is a 3-tech.
I realize we are all opining as to a value for value. My view is if we do trade Trey, how do we get some sack production back from a proven NFL starter?
To your point about Lawrence - Trey is similarly our best defender and pass rusher. He is as valuable to us, as Lawrence is to the Giants.
I read a couple of article recently suggesting that Giants should look into Joey Bosa and Chase Young. Added to the fact that there are articles about Commanders and Philly possibly having interest in Trey; thus, my opinion that the only player in NFC East I would like to see a player-for-player trade for Trey would be Dexter Lawrence.

Maybe add Loveland or Warren at our pick in round 1 (at the expense of improving the defense or OL)?

That is the hurdle.

Loveland isn't adept at blocking either. I don't think we need another TE that doesn't block. Warren is a complete TE in that he blocks well, for the QB or RB, but unlikely to be there at 17.

I don't know much about Loveland and agree we don't need Mike G. 2.0. Warren would be a nice pick, but, as you noted, appears to be gone in most mocks before reaching pick 17.

Yup. Unfortunately we don't have All this year. Ravens use 12 formation really well, but they have Andrews and Likely.
Interestingly, the most yards to TEs given up by Eagles last year, was 105 yards twice - to Ravens and us. Likely and All had 37 and 32 yards each, I think.
So, the 12 formation still works, if you have one complete TE to line up with your move. Otherwise; there is no run threat, and you might as well line up as 11 or 5-wide.

Sample blocks and you can find blockers in the draft late lol

Trey will not ait out and lose 1 million a game in my humble opinion.
Some are getting upset over 3 players we have under contract for 2025. We already know their maxium cap hit and have planty of cap to sign FA's early if we choose.
Absolutely. They don’t have to do anything. I’d rather strike while the iron is hot and get good value now than let T walk next year for a third round comp pick and slap a tag on Trey. Assuming no deals are reached. T may get a deal. I’m resigned to to the fact is most likely gone.
What do you think equals high compensation for Trey?

Blockers who are shit receivers also doesn't help us reach the "less predictable offense" goal. We need a TE who can do both.

I agree. I'm not sure how good of a blocker Mason Taylor is but I like him in this draft.

Sample too. They bring him in almost exclusively to block.
