I wonder what portion of the salary they ate.

I think they gave up too much as well. I would think he’s quite a different receiver than Pittman. More of a game breaker. But they’re taking a big chance on all his injuries. The difference between us and them is they have a QB. On a rookie contract. They truly believe they are a player or two away from competing to win it all. And we are not.

Surprised they were able to get a first AND third for Waddle. Likely had to throw in that 3rd cuz the first is all the way back at pick 30.
Seems like a good trade for both sides

I dont think teams think to highly of their own drafting. If you can't get a comparable player on a rookie contract taking receiver at 1, 3 and 4. Your whole scouting dept should be fired.

The price was a little steep, but overall it's a good move to get Nix another proven talent at WR. They are in a win-now mode and made a good move to advance the team.
Yep, they have a QB on a rookie deal and if he wasn't hurt they are probably in the Super Bowl last year, so they're win now, so they probably over paid a bit to get their guy.
