Torrey Smith / Andre Johnson Value?

[flynismo]

3rd round pick is reasonable maybe an additional late round pick. Remember Anquan was moved for a 6th round pick when he was 32. As far as cap, that's not a problem. Cap can be as flexible as you want to make it. The main issue Andre has with the team is their lack of commitment to winning right now. They didn't address the QB situation, which is likely going to take another year or 2 to fully resolve. He doesn't want to wait through the growing pains of a young rookie's development and he doesn't want to learn a new offense for a team that hasn't shown signs of building a contending roster. Also, the writing is on the wall with his current deal. After this year he's likely to be cut due to his back-loaded contract, which, is another year of his value diminishing on the market. The Patriots will make a push but Baltimore would be the front runners.

 

This is where we have the advantage with Gary Kubiak's offense - 1.) He already knows it, 2.) Flacco is a major upgrade over Schaub - and he knows it, 3.) He's very familiar with our post-season success, 4.) The Castle is a Veteran Paradise, 5.) He want's to win now, 6.) Gary Kubiak, 7.) Gary Kubiak, 8.) Gary Kubiak, 9.) Rick Smith and Ozzie are very, very close. Scratch my back I'll throw you a 3rd round pick to scratch yours...that kind of thing.

 

People wonder why receiver wasn't as a big of a priority as some thought it should've been...well, maybe it's because there are plans on the back burner that won't take affect until after the June 1st designation....where comp picks and accelerated salary cap won't factor in

 

Dear god this board would explode if we managed to bring AJ in.

 

To continue this scenario, how about we just send them Ngata, straight up, no draft picks, just player for player? Nobody would have to deal with cap issues, they'd have the great DL in the history of the universe if Clowney pans out, and we become instant favorites to win the SB.

Clearly your are high.  We could have megatron, AJ, dez bryant with mccoy in the backfield and brady throwing the ball...along side with suh and revis added to our defense...we will still be projected 8-8 as longas we wear that Bmore shield.  Hell, if Roger Goodell suited up, maybe then we could get above 500

I dunno man, I think bringing in Brady makes up for the rest of the team being toilet film, don't underestimate the bias those guys have for their hero. I'm pretty sure I saw Heath Evans and Skip Bayless sniffing Brady's jockstrap during one interview

Great point, skip would explode if brady came to our team.  Our "weapons" that we never had would instantly become the most "dangerous" weapons in the nfl.

Yeah I think the Ravens would be a good fit. Andre's asking price and the Texan's asking price are the only real big hurdles to overcome at this point. What hurts us with the Texans is that we already don't have that 5th (Zuttah) or 6th(Campanaro) rounder so we couldn't throw in that extra pick unless we wanted it to be the 4th rounder which I think would be too high. Also it will be interesting to see how much Andre wants, does he still view himself of being worth a 10 mil per year contract or is he willing to take a bit of a pay cut to be on a contender. It should be very interesting to follow
