BayBubbPackFan Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 So reports are that Dee Ford could be had for as little as a 2nd Round pick. If this is true, I feel Green Bay should be all over this. I know there could be a bidding war, but maybe 44th and a late round pick? KC knows the depth of this years edge class, so might be the reason for the report. Then turn around and give him a 4yr $65mil deal. He had only one year with Coach Mike Smith, who is now in GB. He absolutely balled out, keep them together. Thoughts?

rcon14 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I don't think giving up a 2nd rounder is worth it to pay Dee Ford a market rate salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 A 2nd rounder is a valuable pick and Ford's gonna cost quite a bit to extend. I think it's more likely that someone with 2 2nd round picks pays that price (like the Colts) since teams like to have one pick in every tier of the draft.

packfanfb Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Honestly, I'm not a huge Dee Ford guy. If we're dealing with KC, I'd rather get Houston for a 5th or 6th rounder before they cut him anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesehawk Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I just dont see it with Ford. Maybe I need to go back and watch him closer from this season, but he has never popped out to me as a premium EDGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexGreen#20 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Any time you can trade a pick to then overpay someone, you've got to do it, right? What the hell kind of negotiating leverage do you expect to have after trading a pick? We'll franchise you again? We'll let you walk after one year?

FinneasGage Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I don't see any value in trading for people on the franchise tag unless it's like a franchise QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacman5252 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 It depends. If it is apparent during the legal tampering period next week we are going to completely strike out, I'd consider it for a second. You are not getting a value contract by trading for Ford since you are paying market rate for him, but you are guaranteeing a really good player, which there is value in. I'd rather have him for 15 than Preston of Z Smith at 10-13M. Due to the whiffs of 2015 draft class and likely 2017, we are good in cap and are in no danger of losing core pieces. There is like a 98% chance Ford is better than anyone we draft in the second, and the odds of the second being more than just a mediocre starter that is as valuable than their contract is only like 30%.

Arthur Penske Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I'm not willing to bend over for him, but I'm surprised at the lack of interest in a 27 year old guy ( younger than Mack) who had more sacks and TLF than Mack in 2018. ( Yes I fully realize sacks aren't everything and Mack has had a better career) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
