    Muth isnt that valuable for straight up trade. Injury prone. 3 or 4 concussions already?

    I still say James Daniels and a pick Everyday that roles bye decreases the value of the pick.

    How about Fields? That wouldn’t bother me either. We are going to need to draft a future franchise qb anyhews. Russ can cook for a season

    Spencer Anderson must have improved A LOT if Daniel's is being considered here. Yes, Anderson is a good player but not to the extent that Daniels is.... from what we currently know. Maybe the team believes in Anderson more. Who knows?!


    That said, the fact that Daniel's is even being considered an option is interesting alone.

    While Russ can cook, he cannot cook the same way he used to when he was younger. In addition, as far as I know, aside from this Offense, Russell Wilson has never been a drop back passer from under center. He has been shotgun heavy historically. Fields though, does have that experience but lacks the polish.


    Regardless, I do agree that drafting a QB should be an option l. However, let that be the final contingency plan should this season go to hell in a hand basket.

    Sadly, that is the going rate for WRs anymore. Mind you, it is going to get worse when CeeDee Lambs contract comes up. Don't forget about Tee Higgins either should he produce as he did in 2021 to 2022.

    I'd worry about the battling Diva's but I sure the hell wouldn't mind him and Pickens together. Now that would be a fun season.

    it was reported Spencer and Macormick have really looked good at camp, but thats camp. Trading him would be a surprise.

    They better get it now, it wont last. Look at RB values. It will come back around that owners will not pay that much. Once again, I believe, my opinion, is a good wr is dime a dozen. Great ones are far and few in between. But, I don’t fault players for trying to get as much as they can.

    I would consider it more of a shock as James Daniels is one of the most underrated Guards in the league.

    The prices of contracts anymore,one day all of the skill players will be of rookie contracts to afford a team. Oh wait,our pockets can be emptied to cover of course.

    I do not think WR's are going the way of RB's, hell some teams have and are writing big checks for 2. I do think it will have to level out, there are more WR's coming out NFL ready and rookies seem to make a big splash every year.

    I simply can't get behind giving up so much for a player when there are such question marks at quarterback. Giving up Muth or Pickens makes the trade seem like a wash because you're giving up a weapon to get one. This offense is certainly not one player away from making a title run so I just can't see Khan mortgaging so much of the future for this one player.

    Thats going to happen, the O spending will be coming, but you still have a CAP to manage. I know the projected amount for next year says we have a lot to spend, but that amount will go down when we try and work deals for those we want to keep. I'm not for or against the trade, just realistic that working a deal that he seemingly wants, with the possible amount we might have to throw at a QB, and more is going to be a challenge.

    That makes no sense. They have George Kittle. I understand them wanting Pickens but that would defeat the whole purpose of this trade. I don’t even think Aiyuk would be the best wr on our team. I really dislike Lynch. The guy is fresh. Drive up the price and let him go to the Browns. I hope it implodes on them.

    You could also tie in Frazier and Nate Herbig to that. If Frazier is up to the task at starting at center, Herbig could easily slide over and play Guard until McCormick is ready.
