You can't just win with young guys. This isn't Madden. You are being ridiculous. Under no circumstance is this a good move. MAYBE as a FA signing it would be ok but his age is a red flag alone and I would avoid a player like this. Unless it’s a crappy player for crappy player trade, I cannot support wasting any draft capital on someone like this. That’s lunacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayRay Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Either Manish is being Manish, or there's another angle here, like a trade involving the Browns giving the Jets Fells AND a draft pick. Why? Fells is due to make $3 million in 2019. Even Macc isn't stupid enough to pay an over-the-hill blocking tight end $3 million. If he does turn out to be that stupid, the preceeding sentence will become my forum signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a scientific fact that you have a better chance of having an UDFA become a starter than it is by drafting someone in rounds 5 thru 7. That's a fact. So you'd rather spend $6-$8 million on a 3 year deal for a guy in his mid 20's who is not as good bc Fells is 32? Thank God 99.9% of us will never sniff working for a team in any front office capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have some idea of a better or equal blocking tight end that's younger and would only cost $7 million over the next two years. I'd love to hear it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepy Lurker Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Just now, choon328 said: I'm referring to all of us Then you would be correct. Sorry to come off as hostile but even with considering your points, it doesn’t make any sense to trade draft picks for players of this caliber. As I’ve said in other posts picks in rounds 5-7 SHOULD be traded for quality players that teams are looking to dump due to cap or scheme change. There is better value doing that.l and when a team has moved on mentally from a player (look at Antonio Brown), said player can be had for cheap. An old blocking TE is about the worst thing you could trade picks for. Especially at that salary. There is no benefit. Player for player trade for hell f*cking no.

joenamathwouldn'tcry Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Why are we even talking about this guy? Browns are hoping to get something for nothing. Spring cleaning move. Give up a draft pick? Hardly. I want to replace Tomlinson in the worst way. This is not what I had in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
