  1. 1. Would you trade RG III + Kirk Cousins for Russell Wilson?

Man Id take Big Ben all day everyday over Taylor if we could do it over again. Think of how much better this team would have been over the past decade with Ben instead of Campbell, Collins, Beck, Grossman, McNabb, Griffin, Cousins McCoy. Damn that's sad

 

And we don't do the Campbell, McNabb and Griffin trades, which would mean we would have had four extra 1s, two 2s and a pick in each the 3rd and 4th (minus the 6th we got for McNabb) to spend over those years.

Hypothetical:

Russell Wilson is an Unrestricted Free Agent. How much are you willing to pay him?

I still think he's well overpaid at over 20 mil, but I think you can justify it because of the scarcity of top-notch talent at the most important position.

 

If he's up for a trade, it almost definitely means he's looking for something like 25 mil. That's cuckoo bird banana pants money for him. That's why I voted no on the poll. It doesn't matter if you get him for "free" before you pay him that contract.

for the record, the hypothetical is mostly meant for the folks who want to trade for him to direct people to look at how his salary affects the team rather than just the assets being moved.

Yeah, I assumed so. That's one thing that cracks me up, and it happens a lot, mostly  in baseball. A guy signs a huge FA contract, that everyone says "I can't believe how stupid they were to pay him THAT". Then the player bombs for a year,  there are rumors the team wants to trade said player and people start debating how many players and picks they want to give up for him. I don't get it.
