I don't know why the Giants don't just pull the plug and deal for more picks. what's the point of keeping a vet like Jenkins if it's likely gonna be three years before the rest of the team is good?
Well first you have to have willing trade partners who will give you appropriate value for your players. What if no one wants to pay a high pick for a corner on an expensive contract? You cant just force people to do it and/or give really good players away for peanuts.

I guess i'm more frustrated from the end that the Giants don't want to continue dealing players. i'm sure there's a deal out there that they can make but don't want to because they want to be seen as not giving up on the season

Thomas is just a one year rental, right? If they like him they can restructure I suppose, but he has a big cap hit in 2019 that they probably cannot justify paying.

2020 7th rounder, when you know your value is practically negative.

Yeah, he's apparently not the player he once was either, so this is a half year rental replacement for Fuller.

I can't remember who it was, but the Pats traded a guy for a conditional swap of 7th round picks, and that has to be the worst way to be traded.

Worst trades are those NBA salary dump trades that don't make sense on paper.

quote:

The Denver Nuggets agreed to trade forwards Kenneth Faried and Darrell Arthur, a 2019 protected first-round pick and a 2020 second-round pick to the Brooklyn Nets, league sources told ESPN.

The Nuggets acquire guard Isaiah Whitehead in the trade, whom they will waive, league sources said.

Amazing what you can do when you have a legit QB on a rookie contract.

Edit: 2019 3rd and 2020 5th for Fowler. Is he pretty good? Haven't heard much on him lately.

They are now missing their 2nd and 3rd round next year and their 7th I think. Over The Cap says they should get 2 3rd round comp picks for losing Watkins and Trumaine Johnson as well as two 7ths.

Looking past that they are only now missing a 5th in 2020.

A bit puzzled by the Ty Montgomery trade. Most of the running game problems have been caused by the line being bad at run blocking, and this doesn't fix that. Having a pass catching back is also a good idea, but Buck Allen has been inexplicably effective, and the only reason he hasn't been present the past two games is because they cut his snap count for no good reason. A 2020 7th is virtually nothing, so it's hard to get bent out of shape about the trade, but I'm skeptical that it will help at all.

FAKE EDIT: I though Clinton-Dix was a good safety. What happened there?

They will probably get a 3rd or 4th for Fowler in 2020 if they let him walk after this year, lol

I would guess he doesnt fit as well in the new defensive scheme or has been under peforming for his contract or they have a different player that think will be better long term for less money?

My guess is they thought he'd cost too much to re-sign next year or whatever, so moved him for draft picks now?

Ha Ha has been... inconsistent at best. He's a ball hawk, but often shies away from contact. Also sometimes really low effort.

Don't like the trade though, safety depth is a puddle now.
