But yea, I'm pretty curious if they called Mike and what the offer may have been. Then again, does Mike Brown really do the trade thing? We can always hold the Palmer trade out there as a shining moment but that's a pretty big outlier. It's like calling a guy a financial whiz because he managed to hit the lottery.
Anyways, a 1st rounder and a 4th rounder doesn't exactly seem like a one-year rental to me. That's just a few shades removed from Hue's Palmer deal, and I can only assume Hue was expecting Palmer to be in Oakland for more than a year or so...ergo, I wonder if they are keeping an option to move on from, or slowly bring Teddy back open.
Honestly, I didn't think Minny would even consider throwing a 2nd (or more) at McCarron because I didn't think they'd sell their future for what amounted to a 1 year rental. Either they're desperate to save this season or TB's injury is worse than thought. Possibly both.

Well in fairness, Bradford has never had a team this good. This is automatically the best defense, RB and maybe even receivers he's ever had.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
