I don't think Whit was a unicorn I feel Cincy didn't value him correctly. He was great for us for 5 solid years. As I always bring up Corbett go back and look at what Cleveland thought of him they said he was unplayable that is as bad as it gets. Mekhi is similar he is getting slightly bad rap and with 2 injuries plus a declined 5 year to some he feels like major damaged goods.
My goal with a 3rd is to give them something they can't say no to. Otherwise they may get nothing for him. Like Ive said OBJ had 2 knee injuries to the same knee and is 7 years older than Mekhi. He is not really a malcontent he just is super clear like Orlando Brown he wants to play LT not RT which was the easiest solution for Saleh.
Why would they do it? Sure maybe a 4th, but getting a almost top 10 pick who most said had a great year in 2020 close to pro bowl status in 14 games. He had shit coaching shit QBs and a turnstile OL and gave up only 7 sacks and fabulous run Olman. Saffold came back OBJ is coming back I have a good feeling on him. The Jets are poised for a big run why do they need the headache.
Exactly my point before they find out he's back and better than 2020. We net ourselves a possible linchpin for long-term success.
We gave up a 5th for Corbett who Cleveland hated go back and read all the local beat writers quoting he was massive failure at #33. That was a 5th for an IOL. This is a possible franchise LT.
I don't think they would nor do I think they are getting rid of him either but it's a major risk for a player who hasn't played for 2 years. He also doesn't fit our "We not me" attitude, he's a guy who wants the LT position but won't compete for it, he wants it just given to him because of his draft status. I honestly don't think McVay wants this type of player on his roster. I would be disappointed if the Rams gave up a 3rd for this guy.
Yeah i wouldn't trade a 3rd for him when we barely got that for Ramsey.
Are you serious?! That's pretty idiotic if they don't resign him. I'd take Herbert in a heartbeat. Him and McVay would be awesome.
Oh ok, even they aren't that stupid.
Yeah and guess what? Corbett performed and didn’t have attitude or injury issues with us hence the 5th. The Jets are on the short end And they have the problem, we would have the leverage. Why the hell would we give up a 3rd or higher?
I’m confident in stating this coaching staff is in the market for a LT. Firstly it looks like they are committed to thoroughly evaluating the talent that’s currently on the roster. This gives Note one more chance to impress and an opportunity for AJax to take a huge step up and in. Anything short of stellar LT play this year will start the process of evaluating their options for LT next year.
Clearly but my point is about injuries not talent. If you take a chance on OBJ I am sure you would on Becton who is almost 7 years younger.
