Realistically....what can we get for AB?

[steeler_fan_in_t.o.]

I agree this is the likely scenario as they try to get cap space. I'm probably in the minority, but Dupree was better this season. Get him a better OLB coach than Porter and we may see a significant improvement

Perhaps, but not a gamble I'm willing to take for $9M+. As I mentioned earlier, I'm happy bringing him back on a 3 year deal at a price point that allows him to start, but does not tie the wrists if he is a backup or rotation player.

I think they sign Dupree long term more reasonable then 5th yr, maybe $5 mil avg, and look to add 3rd or 4th.

I think a 1st outside Top 20 is realistic. I think inside maybe be a swap but if a team needs a QB forget it. A high 2 might bring a player & a conditional next year. I know we want ransom but these may be something it will look like. Peterson would be nice but maybe cap hit too hard. I think he Will be moved highest bidder outside division.


49ers
2019 2nd
2020 Conditional 3rd
Player-Pettis WR or Moore CB


Cardinals
2019 2nd
2020 Conditional 3rd
Player-Reddick LB


Raiders
2019 1st #24
Player-Conley CB




It will only take one team to start that bidding war & bring us a crazy package. The more he opens his mouth though I think decreases the chance of that happening.

I also don't think the player they get impacts draft strategy unless they get a WR they feel is a #2. 3 picks first 2 rounds will be CB, ILB, WR with trade unless they move on from Dupree. I think they sign Dupree long term more reasonable then 5th yr, maybe $5 mil avg, and look to add 3rd or 4th.

I can't afford the pay cut.

Especially with the cost of living in TO!

FAN today stated they thought a fair return on AB would be early 2 this year n a 2 in 20. That a San Fran or Arizona would not give up that early 1. Their opinion not mine.

I think we could get a 1 around our own pick.

I don't see how anyone gives up something like a top 5 pick and keeps their job.

[pittpete]

AB to the Jets for the 3rd would suffice....

[Eich]

If the trade market is huge for AB as is being reported and everyone acknowledges that AB is physically one of the best - if not THE best - receiver in the NFL, then I don't understand why someone wouldn't give up a 1st for him. If a team truly believes they can make AB behave, then he should be worth a 1st IMO.

[Iron City Inc.]

If we're talking trading for picks in exchange for AB then I hang up on anyone that isn't willing to offer a 1st rounder.

It's to be near his daughter and granddaughter in Colorado. He's on record as saying it's the only place he would have gone. He turned down a head coaching interview in Miami. He's in his late 50's and had an opportunity to continue to do what he does best, but do it closer to his family. Can't blame him one iota for that.

I was making a joke. I know his grand daughter is there. But whatever the reason, doesn't matter. We are worse off. Bottom line.

Totally agree. It's not like he left for Cleveland or Jacksonville. He left to be close to family and to wake up and see the beautiful mountains every day. Can't fault a decision like that

neither could Munchak..that's why he left too.

It all depends on perspective. The Lions often pick around the middle of the pack to little success. Why not guarantee a Pro Bowl talent for the next three years. Here are recent Lions first rounder:

The team that gets Brown is getting a bargain.
They were talking about this on the NFL Network today.
3 years for less than 13 million per year.
2019 $12,625,000
2020 $11,300,000
2021 $12,500,000

The 2019 hit would be $15.125M due to a $2.5M roster bonus due in March. That is why they are saying a deal would be done within the first 5 days of the new league year.
