Yeah, I'm not ready to trade Van and ARob both. Unless she knows something else that we don't, no.
Staley needs a lockdown CB as his defense needs help in the secondary. Take their #21 and #125 picks.
What I like about her is she puts the effort in. She cares about the end result and the quality of it. And her articles are definitely worth the read, though I don't really spend time reading media articles on my team because let's be honest here... You get more from fan boards, particularly with this fan base. We really do have a great fan base.I enjoy Jourdan's work as much as (almost) anyone, but this is a bit hyperbolic IMO. I tried listening to that 11 personnel podcast a couple of times, but her and the other host are reeeeaaallly hard for me to listen to. She is a far better writer than she is a speaker. I will try to get through last week's episode to see what you are talking about regarding the offense, building for 2024, etc though.
However, as good as Jourdan is, she is not privy to the vast majority of the FO dealings. Also, she uses the saying "both things can be true" waaaaay too much.
The only guaranteed money left is the 2023 salary which a team picks up when they trade for him. The dead cap monies resulting from a previous restructure cant be "picked up"Get both of Detroit's second round picks and they pick up his restructured guaranteed money
Of course you're right. Good Luck trying to get through.The dead cap monies resulting from a previous restructure cant be "picked up"
If (& only if) they are truly punting in 2023 and focusing on 2024, then I’d trade Van. It’s his last year and he’ll need a new deal. Get a 3rd for him and add another young, cheap piece for the future.Yeah, I'm not ready to trade Van and ARob both. Unless she knows something else that we don't, no.
