Jaylon Johnson requested trade

Couple of things can be true here, take your pick....

(1) Jaylon wants too much
(2) Bears offered too little
(3) Poles isn't allowed to trade anyone
(4) Flus wants zone CBs and not man CBs
(5) Jaylon see the writing on the wall and wants out
(6) Unless there is a bidding war, don't expect too much

Sadly, the only ones going to be happy here are those few posters who play the odds and always land on the negative side. This is a win/win for them. Not matter what happens, they can claim vindication.

I think JJ is worth between $14-17mil. If he wants more than $17 IMO he is over-valuing himself. I'd go to $17 knowing that by the end of the contract he would be underpaid again. I've used numbers before and can't remember where I settled before, but I think I'm close to what I previously posted. 4 years, AAV $16-17 for 4 years maybe first two season fully guaranteed at signing, 1/2 of the third at the start of second contract year, the other 1/2 at the start of 3rd contract year., no guarantee on the 4th.

Regardless, a few posters will cautiously take one side leaving themselves enough wiggle-room to actually be able to claim victory no matter what the result. Sigh. We'll hear about it in every thread for the next few seasons. Trolls.

Agreed. I was was going to say something about that endzone thing too - that kind of irked me. When the team (well a group of guys, we're not really a team are we?) is playing so poorly you shouldn't be showing off and celebrating or tooting your own horn. Just shutup and get back in the game and try to do even better.

Can we trade Poles?

Can we get an assistent GM + a conditional 5th based on how many draft picks the new GM develops?
