Could the Ravens be considering a trade for (insert WR here)?

[GrimCoconut]

We did trade for TO way back when. He just refused to catch balls from Kyle "Heap Murderer" Boller.

Oh yeah... Then trade the same for Jeffery if he somehow hits the market..

Note: I don't think it's going to happen. But who knows. Maybe the Bears are dumb.

Who would trade day 2 pick for Jeffrey on condition that Dean Pees remains DC for 2 more years?

In a heartbeat.

He was still old then and I can't blame him. Heap and Pitta could've been dangerous if not for having to clean up after Boller. They say football shortens your life about 20-30 years I think. Having to catch passes from Boller over the middle has to at least double that. One of the toughest TES to play the game and won't get his credit outside of the fan base.

I wouldn't rule it out as he is a FA next year and maybe he doesn't want to stay. That and the Bears trading him would be quite a stretch though so I wouldn't call it likely but you never know. Wouldn't give up a high pick if he were on the block though as there would be a chance we could lose him in FA next year. Giving up a 2nd for a guy in his contract year is not a good move unless you have a deal agreed on right then and there but we would need to make room on the cap more likely than not if we wanted to do that. Probably a 4th and 5th or what we gave up for Monroe would be the max I would be willing to give.

Rare for me to disagree with a poster like you but I shall.....

 

Jeffery is an elite talent. Pretty much an elite WR with some of the best hands in the NFL and he knows how to use his size. I do agree that we should have a deal on the table if we were to trade him, but I'd honestly slap the tag on the guy. 

 

That being said. It's not gonna happen, and if it does, I won't commend Ozzie but rather trash the Bears for how dumb they're being.

Thanks lol, everyone has their different opinions so it was bound to happen at some point

I wouldn't go as far to call Jeffrey an elite WR but I'd put him in that next tier. I wouldn't franchise him as the tag last year was 12.8 mil(I'd link where I found it but I am on mobile) and is only bound to be higher next year. I mean if we had a ton of cap that would be one thing but we still have KO and Yanda to worry about so 13 mil on the cap next year is a big pain when that time comes.

I know the trade seems like a low price but we would pretty much only be guarenteed to have him for a few games unless we had a deal on the table and agreed on in principle. It is why Boldin went for so cheap(although he did cost a lot more on the cap so there is that) or why we got Monroe for as cheap as we did.

I actually think the Bears would be smart to keep him honestly unless they got a good offer. The team needs some rebuilding for sure but they won't get anywhere by getting rid of one of their best young players, even if he is a FA next year.

I would call any mention of Jeffrey being traded at this point speculation though unless other reports come out, way too many what ifs to take the ESPN article seriously. Looks more like click bait to me.

Posted this in the cap space thread bc I didn't see this, copy and paste

Its funny, during the offseason before any moves were really made, i had a feeling Marshall was going to be on the move, i picked him coming here because of Trestman. Odd to have the Jeffery talk now. I also mentioned Garcon numerous times for a future veteran wr vet, nice to see others mentioning him now.

Without trying to sound like a Madden fanboy, i think the jeffery thing is a no brainer if we can get him for a second rounder. As someone stated above, im sick of having the most draft picks in the league and not having much to show for it. Even if BP was on the field right now, id still push for Jeffery because next year with out SSR this wr corps is going to be very flat. Giving up a second for a known top wr is an easy call for me and i know we will lose the ability to sign others, but just like every year, you have to pick your poison and for once it would be nice to give Joe a nice big weapon. Knowing our FO they will not doing anything because they will still have faith in Aiken, Camp, and Waller to take over fulltime next year.

Draft picks are only good if you can turn them into production on the field. Bringing Jeffery here and paying him would be a huge step for this young team moving forward, Jeffery is still young and going into his prime and yet can bring a veteran like presence. Its hard to sound logical when your talking about trading for an elite guy because that hardly every happens, but it just seems like for once it would be a great idea for this organization to go out and get a top flight guy and spend the cash. I know we brought in Boldin, but he wasnt an elite guy, dude was a beast no doubt, but i dont think anyone would of put him in the top ten wrs in the years we had him. Trade for Jeffery then we can use our draft picks on all defense or OL. I dont see too many negatives here, but im not as smart as most on here when it comes to cap space..or anything else really. I assume we will draft a cb in the first round and prolly another wr in the second, why not just pull the trigger on a top ten guy already. just a thought. i know it wont happen

rant over

[gtalk12]

I hope we can make it happen, if we decide to that is

[curtis0360]

If we are going to get him at all, it will be during free agency. we got alot cap room coming this year, we could get him, i wouldnt rule it out at all. But a trade ozzie would need to release somebody first.

Not that I think we'll actually trade for him or anything, but releasing someone would be the least of my worries.  Cut Christo Bilukidi and call it a day.

[BOLDnPurPnBlacK]

I'd give up a 2nd for Alshon barring an agreement on an extension. Def not for a 1 year rental with an uphill battle to the playoffs.

BUT I don't think Alshon is actually on the table unless someone throws up a 1st/probable high 2nd.

Yes they're rebuilding and are trading commodities - but you do need pieces to build around. Alshon is the best building block they have.

Only way I see him leaving outside someone over paying is if he's given them the impression he doesn't want to be back next year and would only consider it if their offer is better than anything else he can get. In that case of course you sell now.

Releasing somebody is a concern? I can name about 35 guys on the team that I'd probably be willing to release if it meant Alshon Jeffrey is a Raven with an extension in place.

Biggest problem I see is that he's they're rebuilding and he's about the only building block on the team.

We'd probably cut another WR to make room. It's not like anyone did much besides Sr. And while I've advocated for Jeffery, one thing people are ironically forgetting is his injury history. He's coming off an injury himself lol.

That means he's soft and a bust. Not worth it.....

[Cillmatic]

Would be nice having at least ONE well known impact player on offense. He's a little injury prone though. Might not be that fun having our top two receivers be injury prone.

Never been a big fan of the whole "injury prone" label. Never really made much sense to me.

 

If every team shied away from players with an "injury prone" label, you wouldn't even be able to field a roster, and if you could, it'd be the worst roster in the league.

 

Everybody gets injured eventually, and generally multiple times.

Injury prone refers to the frequency of injuries within a generally short time. If billy Bob got injuried 4 times within two seasons and had to miss games each time he'd be called injury prone(a la Monroe). If billy bob is only forced to miss a couple games over the course of like 4-5 years he's generally considered normal. Edited October 1, 2015 by Cillmatic

[Gordo52]

I wouldn't consider Jeffery injury prone.

Also to add on to mcrjackets point, what about freak injuries. How do you account for them when trying to label a player injury prone? Jefferey hasn't missed much time at all in his career.

[allblackraven]

It's pretty amazing how this thread grew to almost 4 full pages and it's about the trade for a guy who most likely is one of a handful of players Chicago is going to build around.

[BOLDnPurPnBlacK]

Maybe not the best place for this but didn't feel like creating a thread or digging up the offseason one... Maybe this can just become a thread for possible trade scenerios

But it's reported that Niners CB Shareece Wright is demanding to be traded or released immediately. He's been inactive so far this season, but got a 1 yr $3mill deal in March.

He previously started for the Chargers that past 4 years.

Don't know much about the guy, but anyone have thoughts on him or know his play well enough to provide some insight or an assessment?

Worth a conditional 6th-7th to bring in for competition?

He's not good.  Starting experience earned that contract rather than any sort of talent.

[CalvinSmoke]

OK, what about Kyle Fuller?

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

1. I hate you for being in my favorite city.

2. Ha. Even less likely. The only thing more rare than a good young WR, is a good young CB.

Hmm...it might work. There's a fire sale, after all. Lol

lol on a more serious note, I'd take Willie young

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

I would do that as well. He's been a healthy scratch. We could use a guy like him

[52liveforever]

I don't know why we would trade for a guy with only one year and could no doubt make more money somewhere else. the trade only makes sense if we have a shot at the playoffs and those chances are slim.

Well, using this same logic invalidates our actual trade made for Eugene Monroe in the 2013 season. Granted, we did nearly make the playoffs and we had a better record, but the fact remains that it's a near-identical comparison. Both players (Monroe & in this case Jeffery) are or were in the last years of their respective rookie deals and were or will be free agents in the following off-season, although we were admittedly 2-2 when we made the trade, but we could easily be 1-3 at the same point (October 2nd is when the trade was made).
