NFL Trade Deadline

[LayneStaley]

Ok maybe this doesn’t need its own thread but the deadline is 5 weeks away. I know the next couple weeks will determine if we are buyers but let’s say we get to 5-2 do we make a move?

I really wish we still had Jakobi here but it sounds like a few guys might be available…

Brian Thomas Jr
Marvin Harrison Jr
Jerry Jeudy

Thoughts?

Whoa, really?! Crazy cause I was pissed about them getting him. & not Raiders. I was huge on him coming out. Still am, plus he’s ascending young player so, I’m surprised the Chargers traded him for just a 4th+5th &, now the Broncos nixing it. There must be something wrong with him. Injury, character issues??

They used a sniff test and couldn't get the Chargers stank off of him. They were worried that they'd start Chargering and lose every close game late.

Chargers despite being 0-8 with 20 pending free agents, made 0 moves and acquired 0 assets at the trade deadline.

Florio is a douchebag, but even a douchebag can have a valid point. He has a valid point in this case.



The basic issue is that teams can agree to a trade prior to the deadline, and then the terms can be amended after the deadline. So a team can trade for a player pending a physical, and then fail the player on the physical and ask the selling team to accept less in trade compensation. Meanwhile the selling team has no other potential trading partners because the deadline has passed.

If a team wants to game the system, they can agree to a trade on terms they don't want, fail a player on the physical (because a physical is rarely an objective pass/fail), and then be the sole team negotiating to try to get the terms they want.

But you could still game the system if you don't allow changed compensation.

Player is on market from Team A, Team B wants him. Team C doesn't want team B to get them. Team C puts in a better offer at the deadline. Team C gets player. Deadline passes they fail the player. Player goes back to team A and Team C purposely stopped Team B from getting the player.

Perhaps the LB here was coming to Vegas and Denver pulled this stunt.

Man, wish the Raiders woulda offered that deal for him. Maybe still could in the offseason. Even with his Charger stench on him lol. That’d be gone quick after putting on the Silver & Black

He's a FA, so we won't have to trade for him in the offseason. I'm not sure that a non-playoff team trading for 8 games of a guy on an expiring contract really makes sense.
