bucsfan333 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 There are rumors swirling around that it'll happen. He disputes it. But he really doesn't have a say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 I'm convinced we'd have four 325lb+ DTs on this team if McCoy wasn't so good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravishingone Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I'm not against the move, a 2nd rounder plus another pick is tempting. DTs usually dont age well. It would be a bold move. I doubt it happens, but with this being a strong interior dline draft, this is the year to get extra picks. I would have a lot of respect for Licht because this would definitely jolt the locker room especially considering right now he is a lame duck as GM.

McCoy's numbers have steadily declined the last few years. But he's still one of the best. So I kinda get it. At the same time, trading away one of our best players seems odd for a regime that's depending on this season to keep their jobs. We'll see, I guess.

bucsfan333 Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Also, the second round is the place to be in this draft. If we could pull a second and third, or something similar, it might be hard to pass up. It would also free up $12.75M in cap space. But it's not like we need it.

deuces22wild Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 This is the first I’ve heard of the potential trade but the last week or so I’ve been wondering how much longer we are willing to pay McCoy that type of money. Considering we are already low on rushers if he’s moved this FA/draft must be all about that dline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see, I guess. It would be a bold move for the regime with the job security issue. It s not necessarily fair, but the team has had 1 winning season in GMCs career. Certainly not all his fault, but honestly the poor rush defense extends beyond Chris Baker. This year the defense has to at least be average stopping the run or pass. Doubtful it happens, but I would classify GMC as a tradeable commodity who I would accept less then a 1st round pick to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mccoy did say he’s a 4-3 guy not 3-4. However our interest in Quinn may put the 3-4 to rest. Honestly, McCoy is good but he’s not elite. If we can fetch a 2nd then sure. I’m all for it Bc the DT class is loaded along with free agency in Loutelli and Poe. But if you can only fetch a 4th, keep him one more year.

If I recall you mentioned moving McCoy a few years ago right? Good call maybe a season or two early but the writing was on the wall I guess. Article mentions Jackson for Ford. I’d be all over that swap as well. Obviously brings in an outside threat but also makes more room for Godwin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t say that because Quinn played OLB this past season and if the Ford rumblings are true he plays OLB as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godwin showed he was clearly the better receiver overall than DJax who was an FA bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't throw as many deep bombs because nobody can get as wide open deep as DJax can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
