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

[SteelBucks]

I think the best you get for AB is a mid level starter and a 3rd. Teams know the situation and will be playing hard ball

That’s realistic. I’d be shocked if someone gave up a 2nd round and floored with something better than that.

i fully expect a 2nd... a high one. because teams will try to play hard ball, but, ultimately, they'll all be bidding against one another and don't want to miss out. I think SF and Shannahan would give that up in a heartbeat

Dang his stock has gone way down on here in the past week or so.. Initially some folks were talking "2-1st rounders" lmao

I believe they can get a first. Sure teams know we want to dump him, but the competition between teams means WAY MORE than a perceived desperation on our part to move him.
"Team "A" offerred us ........ what can you offer"?

There is no way we dont get quality compensation for the best receiver in the league, because teams overvalue receivers.

We’ll see how much someone wants to give us for an over 30 , malcontent. I’m very curious to see how much we can get.

AB would do wonders for a 1st year HC and a new QB---LOL

Jets!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the market for AB will be strong. Not sure we can get a top 5 pick. But I could see a trade similar to this

Pit gets- Lions 1/8, Jarad Davis (MLB) and Lions 3rd

Det gets- AB and Pit 1/20

Philly gave up a 3rd round pick half way through the season for Golden Tate to come in and be a #2 receiver. They did this knowing that Detroit was getting rid of Tate by the end of the year because they didn't want to pay him. AB is way better than Tate as a receiver and he completely changes every defense you play, also your getting AB under a pretty friendly contract.

But halfway through the season, teams have evidence that they have problems.

I think GMs are more prone to over-rating their teams (or under-rating their problems) when everyone is 0-0.

I like this move! But I would go one step further to try end up with two 1st picks in this draft.

Whatever we get for AB, it has to be enough assists to trade up before Cincy (#10) to grab the player we want, White, Baker, Greedy...

Even trade AB to Oakland for their 2nd 1 st (#24) and 3rd (#66) that equals to 1290 points on draft trader calculator. Which will be the same value as pick #10 1300.

Oakland will still have two firsts #4 and #28 (?) their second and a hell a lot of cap space to be active in FA... ( there was Bell-Oakland rumours before)

We have a good , open dialog with Gruden in Oakland. I’d go there first; Colbert is smarter then both Gruden and Mayock. Lol. I’d take their cornerback Conley and then a first round pick for AB.

I don't understand your point?

Or the raiders feel fleeced on the MB deal and are wary
