Bengals said they aren't in the business of trading anybody. Let's see if that holds true. Not even Tyler Eifert?
Probably because they routinely spend assets on RB's. I think the Lions are also in on him. If it's a RENTAL price I'm all for it. Chargers should get whatever they can.
The Bengals are in the business of being an embarrassment to the rest of the league.
League office officially closes at 4:00 Eastern, but they have no real interest in updating us real time so things could happen we don't hear about right away. The leaks are a lot more informative than any official deadline or announcement.
It's like every sport still uses a fax machine to send in the trades and we don't find out till 5:30-6:30pm EST.
The Saints already spent some of next year's draft capital on Eli Apple. The team would be loath to part with the 1st rounder for anyone (though I know Anderson wouldn't fetch that). Saints' 2 and 7 are already dealt ... leaving picks in rounds 3, 4, 5, and 6 to deal. I guess we'll see, though I'm not expecting even as big a splash as Anderson.
After seeing the Leonard Williams return, I wouldn't be surprised if Anderson is a three. They need to have intel if he's going to sign again with them or not.
I laugh at the team who shall not be named a lot, but asking for a 1st for Williams is absolutely the right thing to do. That's not a high price for an elite LT who is on a very team friendly deal next year.
This is wishful thinking, I'm afraid we already seen most of the trades last week and yesterday. I hope I'm wrong. I want this to be a fun day on the NFL calendar.
I can never quite figure out the compensatory pick system. Do the Chargers automatically get a 3rd round pick if Gordon leaves as a UFA? Or do they only get a pick if they don't add a comparable free agent? My understanding is that it's a +/- system.
Steelers could use a RB right about now. Too soon? Seriously though I have been waiting all year for him to go up against Miami and he will probably go to the Patriots or something.
I think it's legit, whether or not they make a deal or not I think it's one of the most make sense trades you can get. In fact been checking on this for past few days expecting them to shop him.
Yep, it will be hard to get a return other than the contract being off the books, but that would be a very good thing for the Jets IMO.
Agreed for the NYJ benefit but who would take him at his $$ ? His performance does not warrant a high trade value, but some is NYJ OL issues.
Maybe, just see them not being able to trade a 27 year old RB with a $13.5 cap hit for a few more years. If the Jets trade him for mid round picks or multiple mid round picks, yikes. Adam Gase man.
Yes, but (I think) they take the cap hit for some/all of the bonus(es) in the contract. Their trade partner would, in theory, get a cheaper version of Bell.
No, I'm certainly no expert, but I am getting the number I quoted from here which explains a bit about where the money is going/what is owed and when:
No not that bad because his contract is guaranteed next year and not a bonus.
It's a +/- deal, but keep in mind that the (likely) pick would be at the end of the third round, and in the 2021 draft. So if someone offered a 2020 3rd it would be a year sooner, and definitely an earlier pick.
It's not all that bad, but taking on the money is just one part of this. Is a team really willing to take on the money and give whatever the Jets are asking in return?
