just googling it apparently the word now is Miami IS willing to trade Achane but would take at least a 2nd and maybe a 1st so we won't be involved. There's a bunch of speculation out there, KC, Chargers, Vikings, Packers and others all being mentioned.

Put him on the Vikings would be scary

Expensive, but those picks, at least this year's, are gonna be very late. Cornerbacks like Gardner are top ten picks and he is under contract for four more years. I like it for Indy.

Massive investment into the position both via picks and financially. Seattle did something similar with Jamal Adams, and that didn't exactly work.

That being said, I respect a team for recognizing their window and going for it.

say it again the one guy I would really want that could help us this year and beyond in a huge way is Achane. I like Benson I still believe in Benson but Achane is just a special guy being wasted in Miami. I read yesterday they're getting calls but so far not looking to move him so it's unlikely but that's a guy that would take our offense to another level.

DeMercado had a couple of really nice runs last night where it was well blocked and he hit the hole hard, and honestly I think Achane scores on both of them, not a knock on Emari he played really well but it's just that extra gear Achane has.

Gibbs and Bijan Robinson are probably the only other RB's in the NFL that have that gear

My real fear is KC is somehow going to end up with him
Breece Hall has a similar yards after contact rate as Conner and offers more speed. Just have to get an extension done.

Yeah. A lot depends on system and the nature of your roster if you are going to give up two 1sts for a CB. It's a hard price to love up to. I get it but I don't know that I would do it. Especially in the AFC. What WR does KC, Buffalo, or Baltimore have that I am scared of? Maybe they are looking at Nico and BTJ in their division?

imagine rooting for a team where your players are on twitter BEGGING to get traded
I mean, it’s not like we haven’t been in that position before with Patrick Peterson? And I’m sure there’s more that come to mind that I’m failing to remember right now, oh yeah honey badger who else?

What makes DeMerc special is his speed to the hole. He’s at virtually full speed with his first step. If he gets a decent hole he’s into the secondary like a missile. He’s not the break a bunch of tackles type, but he’s truly explosive. Plus he can block for the QB, so he doesn’t tip the play when he’s in on third down.

Am I the only one not interested in trading for a running back that's never broke 1000 yards rushing? Or any running back at all really?

Especially for what the Jets apparently want. Hall is a solid/good RB. He changes nothing on this team.

If you can trade for anything it's guard, tackle or linebacker.
