Trade deadline thread

Colts just tied themselves to Daniel Jones. You can't trade away 2 first round picks unless you feel you're close to winning a Super Bowl and Jones is the guy who can lead you. Giving up 2 first rounders for Sauce is insane. He's good but he's not that good. He's not Revis in his prime. This move is Super Bowl or bust.

Cowboys pretty much admitted trading Parsons was a mistake. Quinnen Williams is a good player but he's not as big of an impact player as Parsons.

The Jets are punting on the season for a full rebuild. They should have traded Breece Hall as well. They now have a bunch of first round picks but the bad news is it will be the Jets making those picks.

I think the steelers were smart to stand pat. Jakobi Meyers seems to have been the only real target. Jags got him for a 4th and 6th rounder. That's not a huge price, but still, I think it was right not to get him if they had to beat that.

Meyers is a solid player but he's not a game changer. How much would he really boost the steelers chances? He's turning 29 this week. Would they resign him to a long term contract in the offseason? Maybe. But they can likely get a free agent of his caliber without spending a draft pick.

The Steelers are 2 years into a rebuild. They need the draft picks for the future, and were wise not to spend now to advance 1 more round in the 25 playoffs.

Any team trying to win doesn't trade the best offensive player to the cowboys.
I knew it would prove to be a mistake of epic proportions. They paid 34 million to an underperforming Wr and traded the better guy to the Cowboys.

100% agree...and they had all the leverage against him with it being a Contract year. He has a smart agent. His agent would not have given him bad advice.

What good are high draft picks when you are drafting the kenny Picketts of the world?lol
That is way too steep though.
There aren't 2 guys in the league that would bring us a superbowl with this defense. You could add chase and Jefferson Tomlins defense would still blow it. The killer Bee Steelers were 10x as good as this team. Tomlin isn’t winning anything no matter what. Especially not with austin and smith.
It really doesn't matter until Tomlins gone and we all know it.

As much as I like Tomlin no lie was told...I still place more blame on the GMs and scouting for these horrible drafts. It wouldn't hurt to have a stud QB in his prime. If he can hire a competent DC where he doesnt feel the need to be 100% involved I would feel pretty confident. Way more confident then I feel right now at least. There needs to be a philosophy, concept, scheme revamping. Maybe we got that with the last game. We'll certainly find out in the next two games and if it ends if being a couple more cases of Jekyl and Hyde we'll know we're right back where we started.
