Five trades we'd like to see happen

Joe Haden and Alex Mack to Jaguars

In exchange for Jacksonville's first-round pick. Cleveland can't afford to let talent walk out the door, but it's time to make a stand for the top overall selection. Mack is likely to leave the Browns after this season anyway and showed enough interest in Jacksonville to sign an offer sheet with the Jaguars two seasons ago. Haden is a genuine talent at cornerback, but the Browns don't have much else to offer. With two first-rounders, the Browns can throw in additional picks to get into the No. 1 spot and take Cal's Jared Goff. The Jags get better on both sides of the ball while the Browns nab their franchise arm: Everybody wins.

Everyone wins...but the Jaguars. They're trading a top 5-10 pick (at worst) for a CB and a C both having down years

Megatron

They sure are trying to get him with Cam....

Their bad years are better than the good years of anyone on the Jags (and position wise on the Rams except for Jenkins). The only reason Haden is in the fanciful article is he has been dinged up (hand/concussion) this year. He is not going anywhere particularly given J Gilbert current lack of progress.

That's irrelevant. The Jaguars are doing what we did. They're building a team the right way. Giving up a first round pick that could end up being the #1 pick for Haden and Mack is a bad idea. Mack is a soon to be 30 year old Center having a down year with the ability to opt out of his contract this off-season. Haden is a talented player but he's also having a bad year and has been beat up. Both guys have big contracts.

The Jaguars would be better off holding onto that pick, drafting a cheap young player (if they want a CB, they can take Jalen Ramsey or VHIII or another one of hte talented CBs in this class that would be on a rookie contract), and signing Mack in Free Agency.

It's a bad deal for them.

If a second round pick would get us Jeffery, take it. We have an extra one anyway. Though I'm sure the Bears would ask for more then that. Id like Megatron but his contract is too much.

 

[Zaphod]

I am not sure why this guy wants the Panthers to get players but how about Calvin Johnson to the Rams? It would help draw attention away from the run game.

First thought that came to mind when I read it!

I'd offer a first and not think twice.

But, he signs as part of the trade, obviously.

A young proven WR isn't easy to find.

If he signs as part of the deal, then yeah I go for that. The 31st pick is practically a second round pick anyway.

 

[CGI_Ram]

The 32nd pick is practically a second round pick anyway.

EXACTLY!

 

[CGI_Ram]

Oh. Good catch. By both of you guys.

 

[FRO]

Trade Jared Cook for a talented and experienced water boy.

He doesn't need to be talented or experienced, or even a water boy.

 

[Amitar]

Trade Cook for something more then a 7th round pick.

 

[dieterbrock]

Heck let's trade for Aaron Rodgers while we're at it

 

[Merlin]

Rams need guys who can catch the ball and help them sustain drives. I'd damn near sell my soul to see them trade for Jeffery.

 

[Mojo Ram]

Heck let's trade for Aaron Rodgers while we're at it

Nah he makes too much money...you know, because it comes out of my pocket and all...

 

[RAMpage28]

Anything that gets rid of Cook.

I know it seems mean at this point, you know all the negativity around him, but man is he bad.

 

[FRO]

Rams need guys who can catch the ball and help them sustain drives. I'd damn near sell my soul to see them trade for Jeffery.

I would definately give my 2016 first for him under the condition a long term deal was worked out. I think Foles would be better with a number 1 over a committee approach. Jeffrey would make our pass game respectable, and that's what we need to be a playoff team.

They are in the AFC South so they have a legitimate shot at making the playoffs this year. The Titans, Texans, and Colts don't look any better than the Jaguars at this point.

I would as well. My reasoning is that Fish and Snead go with that high end talent approach which doesn't always translate into immediate impact particularly at wideout. And you are right it would be contingent on a long term deal being agreed to.

Bringing in Jeffrey would put this offense on the map. You would have the big play ability of Gurley and Austin with defenses keying all over on them, and Jeffrey would be showing these other young WRs how to get er done and keep those chains moving. It would be a brilliant addition to this team.
