I think that there is a small possibility that they can eke out a first, but I agree that otherwise it's a fair asking price, though I'd probably swap the sequencing (second this year, third the following year).

Given the timing of the request/speculated request, I'd argue it's a very small possibility - teams in need of a LT addressed it in the draft (Tytus Howard to Houston, Jonah Williams to Cincinnati, Greg Little to Carolina, etc). Right, wrong or indifferent, those are the options for their teams - and they won't buy unless they're getting Williams at a perceived discount. Brown was an in-season trade, right before the trade deadline - so that increases value, if anything. The Seahawks had an immediate need, and didn't have any reasonable options outside of Brown (who they actually saw first hand in the Seattle/Houston game the week before the trade). I'm not one to say exactly what the terms would be, but I'd be shocked if it's something much higher, like multiple firsts. Doesn't mean it CAN'T be, just that it would surprise me. As far as places still out there - Arizona makes sense, I guess? Maybe Minnesota? Maybe Cleveland can push "All In" on their overhaul? Dimes to dollars, nothing will happen - but it's an interesting scenario, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I'm envisioning @ET80 writing down frantically a list of trade assets to offer, probably on the back of a barbecue stained napkin, with a sense of self satisfaction on his face. Inevitably, another team will offer LESS than what the OL craving Texans will, ET will explode, and as punishment, get put into NFL Gen as the head moderator. Am I close @LETSGOBROWNIES or @ramssuperbowl99? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the list: - Jadevion Clowney - @Tyty If they ain't biting on that bait, I'm rolling with Tytus (not Tyty). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I close @LETSGOBROWNIES or @ramssuperbowl99? Right now he's going full CWood, arguing that there is no market and his team doesn't need the player he's desperately trying to trade for. It's a dangerous game of mental gymnastics, and with @ET80's knees being in as bad of shape as they are it could realistically kill him. After death, he'd end up in hell, which is, of course, having to moderate NFL Gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you could accomplish this without actually trading him to the Redskins.

It won't add volume to my corporate rebate, but this sounds like a worthy endeavor - applications of this technology could be used in other avenues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
