Sure I get the strategy, it's more the amount. I think $21m per for someone who has been a mid guard for 3 years is way too much. Too much for me for the best Guard in the league.

The drop off between Dickerson and Jackson to Hernandez is next to nothing in my opinion. Very similar level players.

I get where you are coming from, but I don't believe they care what position the player they are paying is playing, but more of, how much are they spending on the unit as a whole.

Have we all missed something for four years? I mostly saw Mr Roller Skates get single blocked right out of the way.

I think he's gonna be like the sixth lineman, not relied upon to be the starter.

Eww

so basically, $1mm over the league minimum. he wasnt signed to start there

 

[BritCard]

Well, between you and Howie Roseman you have a record 24 games over .500, eight playoff appearances, two trips to the Super Bowl, one title and two executive of the year awards.

Yeah not sure how you conflate two wildly different things. Being a generally good GM doesn't mean he's infallible.

Roseman sent a 3rd round pick for the corpse of Golden Tate in 2018. He gave Alshon Jeffrey a massive contract. The massive Wentz contract he had to eat. Drafted Dillard and Raegor with consecutive 1st round picks. And there is a long list of other bad decisions.

He's one of the best in the league, but he's not Jesus. $21m is way too much money for a Guard, and even if he turns out a great player, which he isn't now, it's still too much for a Guard.

this feels like a replay of the Josh Rosen trade

while taking Kyler wasnt as certain as the Bears taking Williams -- i suspect that Fields is a draft day trade when somebody doesnt get the rookie QB they wanted -- and Fields goes for a 2nd or something

 

[BritCard]

Depth and special teams guy

The Rosen trade happened over like 24 hours, IIRC. I'm struggling to think of a comparison for this.

I think Fields goes somewhere for a third that could be refreshed with a comp pick down the road for the team receiving him. That seems fair for a guy on the last year of his deal.

Five career TDs, four career fumbles.

Plays a lot of special teams.

Shoulda been us

Was really hoping we'd bring in a credible RB2 to Conner to lighten his workload. The cost just isn't that much.

Basically what we paid our replacement level DT's, for an actual playmaker.

I dunno... I am uncertain about a guy that has to sound out DJ

we have a credible RB2 in Michael Carter... but we have also been kicking the tires on some rookie RB's through the draft process...I think we are gonna select one

I hope you're right...the fact the Jets straight up released him makes me skeptical.
