ET80 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Simple question - why would the Jets want to do this trade? For all reasons listed by others, they're going to keep Adams, they like Adams. Trades involve two teams coming to a consensus. The Jets would not concede to this. Full stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

43M Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 @JustAnotherFan responded very well to @RamblinMan99 response to me, but just a few small things... RM99, I know you didnt come up with the trade idea, was just making it clear to others that I read the same article. If you think its worth a first AND a young, quality WR for Jamal Adams, so be it. We have too many other needs to be investing 3 first round picks AND Juju into the safety position in 2 years. This would create another hole and leave us without yet another first round pick, just to bring in another safety we would have to pay top dollar to. Its never going to happen, and is a terrible idea both from both teams perspectives 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you just "rambling" again? We just dropped what very well couldve been a high first to get Minkah, we traded up to get Devin Bush last year, and we are constantly near the bottom of the league in cap space every year. So please, what exactly makes them anything close to the cheapest team in the league? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKnight82 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Can you imagine a team trading two firsts and a starting WR for two Safeties? That would be ridiculous. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt make them cheap. Honestly, Im happy we dont spend big in FA. Sometimes Id like to, but usually when I see the type of contracts certain players get, I feel better. A lot of highly paid FAs dont live up to their contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i’m not saying that’s the route to go as a team, just providing data to answer your question about what he could be referencing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, and you're right. I just think its silly when people call the Steelers cheap when they spend as much on a year to year basis as pretty much any other team. People can criticize HOW they use their money, but calling them "cheap" is just flat out false. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be ridiculous. Yeah, it would be ridiculous. In every sense of the word. Although the safety position in general seems to have less value to some people in this day and age, I'm still of the opinion that having ONE really good free-safety can change the whole dynamic of a defense --- same with a good interior D player. It give DC's more flexibility in their play-calling and it gives them opportunities to be more risky at times just knowing you have a reliable player at the last line of defense who can help alleviate the disaster if things do go wrong. If you have a really good FS mixed a solid front-7 then you can generally get away with only having an adequate player at SS. Which is what the Steelers currently have. So there's no reason why they should spend a high valued #1 draft pick, AND top dollar to retain him, AND give up a WR with a high ceiling.
