Shanedorf Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 We'll see what happens... But its likley a 3rd or 4th and with GB sitting so low in the order our trade pieces just aren't as enticing as other teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampfgeist Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Doubtful they get a 2nd. I thought he would have ended up in NE since they have an attractive bunch of 3rd/4th rnd picks, but since he wasn't included in a Gronk deal I think that rules out NE? I don't want GB to trade their 2nd for him...but if they use their 2nd on a player like Kmet instead I'll be upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you trade a 2nd, you're going to want to extend his deal and that's a significant part of his trade value for the acquiring team Here's a link to TE contracts and you're looking at $ 7-10M /yr on an extension. That's not a major issue for GB in terms of positional spending because GB is toward the bottom of the league in TE cash for 2020/21. Getting OJ extended in time to consummate a trade would be pretty hard, but maybe the acquiring team agrees on general $ parameters and pull the trigger https://overthecap.com/contracts/ https://overthecap.com/positional-spending/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Howard, I'd top out at a 4th round pick. Personally, I'd rather trade for Desmond King if I had to choose between them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I'd give them Lane Taylor for OJ Howard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I'm guessing there's a 5th year after that and you deal with that when it comes unless he demands a deal before he's coming over I suppose.

Kampfgeist Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I think the 5th year option is still valued in the $7-$9 range so definitely not inexpensive but also not cost prohibitive if paired with a cheap Sternberger. Having two good athletic, dual-purpose TE's could do as much to open up the offense as a vertical threat like Aiyuk or Reagor. Even better if paired with someone like those two (or MVS) to open up those intermediate routes and seams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pops408 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Today, in 25 years of fandom is the first time I've EVER felt like quitting the Packers. I'm genuinely embarrassed for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
