So, in essence we gave up a 2nd for the pleasure of paying him. Anyway I'm just being cheeky about it, but the moves made are not THAT different.

Is trading for Joe Burrow different than trading for Geno Smith? That's probably the difference in talent here. Gary is 3rd in the league in pass rush win rate, Sweat is at 8%, not even sure if that's top 50. Sweat is a nice player, a lot like Preston is. They just traded a 2nd and a big deal for 27 year old Preston. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) Not a bad trade for Dobb's career....not that he's the QB of the future in MN....but he will get to showcase his skills with a better receiving corps...and he certainly had no future in AZ.

But he probably fetches a good bit more in the trade than sweat too Seems like there might be this hidden cost to re-signing your own guys though. Or looked another way, a nice safety net to hitting big in the draft on one position group (like DL for washington) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 So ARI goes 1-7 with Dobbs, then Dobbs gets traded to MIN to be their (presumed) starter. That's pretty funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm reminded of Charlie Villanueva for some reason... maybe it's because I want to make a Cancer Patient joke just looking at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary is 3rd in the league in pressure per pass rush. What is Sweat? Gary is the better player but Sweat is going to ask for the moon.

Because being insulted in that manner is probably the only thing anyone remembers about Villanueva in this day and age. That and, you know, only *sshole exists on the internet.

I'm glad we are in the NFC North. Why would you trade for this guy? He's not getting you to the playoffs. He might get you a few more wins which cost you in draft selection. Between the Bears bungling trade deadline day two years in a row to this, it's good to be a Packer fan. We may be down for now, but thanks to these two jokes of an organization we'll be rising up sooner than most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wash is going to get a high 2nd from the Bears for Sweat and a low 3rd from the 49'ers for Young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
