We need to get something for mccarron before he leaves and this is for next year not this year by the way. 2. Whose our reciever next year?  Core? Maybe maybe maybe not Laffell will be gone boyd is a borderline 2/ amazing 3 but we need a legit number 2 thomas is that guy. Way it makes sense for the saints 1. Micheal thomas is number 4 on their depth chart may not even play. 2. Brees is getting old and they need a young qb like mccarron for when brees retires. And from both points of view the trade makes sense thomas actually play has a good year we get a legit number 2 wr while saints get a couple picks and a proven backup and a quality starter so whats not to like? And for the people calling me a osu homer im a way more hardcore fan for the bengals than the buckeyes and i do my research and coming out of the draft he was said to have aj green like hands when it comes to the hugh pount catching if balls plus he has wr genes in his family and he was said to be the most pro ready so why not? We will not have a number w next year and out of all the recievers in the nfl who we could legitimately get with the pieces of trading value that we have(imo mccarrons it) he is the best option avaliable. That is all i was saying by this post and im labeled to be an osu homer bc i make 2 posts trying to get rid of mccarron and in this one an actual position of need to be filled by actual talent where both teams get what yhey need.

After two preseason games, it's impossible to determine if another team's #4 WR is our #2 for the next 3+ years.  If Bennett was worth what you're willing to give up for him, he wouldn't be a #4.

We know that if Dalton goes down for an extended period of time, McCarron can keep the team competitive.  If you're trading him this year, you need to get dividends this year, because you're creating a hole this year to fill one next year.

Next year, LaFell could be reupped, Boyd and/or Core could have proven themselves as the #2, or we get another in FA or the draft.

Quality backup QB's are a lot harder to come by than quality #2 WR's.  Proven quality backup QB's are much higher value than unproven #2 WR prospects with less than 45 minutes of game film against backups.  

Highly drafted rookies are almost never traded in year 1 unless they can't agree to contract terms.

Scouting reports mean zip.  Brian Robiskie was another Buckeye who was supposed to be the most pro ready WR in his draft class.  How did that turn out?
