How about Smith for a 3rd and they can have Mr. Checkdown and that huge contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSSkinz Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I would actually look at getting DJAX back, the top rated WR's in the upcoming draft are low 1st round picks and there isn't much available in free agency. He's been healthy this year, I watched him take an end around for a 20 yard TD last week, he's doing what he can to help his current team and he knows this offense, my fear is he wouldn't want to play with Alex but I'm not sure that's the case. Who cares if we have P Rich, find a spot for both of them, this may be the last shot we have at a proven WR until the 2020 offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 There's probably an unspoken or unwritten rule as a GM that you never trade for a player that you allowed to previously leave your team via Free Agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WR is a more pressing problem for us. Backup QB, not so much. I suppose that's the story most teams roll with until it's 2 weeks before the playoffs and the starter is out for 4 weeks, but I'm not seeing huge playoff hopes anyway without a better passing game. As for DJax and Garcon... DJax is tempting, but I've always loved Garcon more. I want someone with fire out there, Garcon had it and could play almost anywhere on the field.

Right, I agree on the WR need. But you still have to have a plan in place to replace McCoy. Right now we have no-one, not even on the PS. You might upgrade the WR position, but unless you got a good plan to replace McCoy, you'd be just one broken QB finger away from having a disaster at QB, thus defeating the purpose of the trade. In the long run it's good, because next offseason we could find a backup QB, and we'd still have the WR, but we could be throwing away this season with that move. I think we're a playoff team right now, though it may be marginal. And I agree we need an upgrade to solidify those playoff chances. But remember, it's mid-season, so the new QB has to be able to learn the offense real real quick, in case of emergency. We've seen around the league the importance of the #2 QB. So, who you got taking McCoy's place ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a rough 2017 behind Cutler, but he's generally been a solid QB, certainly enough to be a backup. I love me some Colt, but I genuinely don't think he'd be enough to keep us afloat without better receivers like he had last time he started.

Trading for Demarius Thomas isn't crazy. Trading only Colt for him would be crazy. Trading something/someone along with Colt is not crazy. Now for actually crazy stuff we shouldn't talk about? I guess you're right. Like talking about trading Khalil Mack for two first round draft picks. No one would do that! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jericho Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 One of the biggest problems in trading for a WR is the fact it takes time for anyone to get up to speed. What the Pats did with Gordon is a decent example and it really took close to 4 weeks for Gordon to get going. Speaking of which, Gordon was probably the right answer here trade wise. Cheap contract, still young, and not costing much in compensation. Garçon looks pretty washed up with a ton of money left on his contract. Thomas is young and better, but with one huge year left on his contract. And DJax would seem to be a poor fit in an offense where the QB doesn't throw downfield. And of course, all of them likely wouldn't do much for several weeks. Basically none seem like great options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course, all of them likely wouldn't do much for several weeks. Basically none seem like great options But the offense has gone down field... with D. Jax on the roster... in this system. D. Jax is probably the perfect fit. He's got the ability to take the top off. He's been in this system so there's little to no transition regarding terminology / playbook, and he's about the only thing available that can take a WR screen / Hitch route and go the distance, the thing this offense has lacked the most. And Alex doesn't need to throw the ball 80 yards for Jax to be effective. In fact, he doesn't even need to truly change what he's doing. Alex's numbers spiked last year because Hill could take that hitch / out route, and go the distance. Jax can do that. Any time he touches the ball he's a threat to score a td.

Koolblue13 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Djax thing in philly was a quick short to medium pass that he takes 60 yards to the house. We used him poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSSkinz Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 We have to be worried about Dunny at this point, what if this injury becomes a thing and he's out a while. I don't feel comfortable rolling the dice with rookies so we may need to make a move here, hopefully, that's not the case and they figure this nerve thing out.
