Winners and losers of trade Dead Line

It was a panic move when he signed Claypool, and it was a COSTLY mistake.  It sounds like the Sweat move is probably a good move if they really do have a contract plan.  He sure seems worth a 2nd round draft pick.  Again, I chalk this up to hiring a very young (he was 36 years old when we hired him) GM.  That's not a "bad" thing.  And it may even be a good thing if the guy ascends his learning curve well... and I think he very well may.  What some folks don't understand is that with young/new first time GMs, players, coaches - you invest in them and hope for a solid return on that investment.  And it's not an exact science as far as folding your cards and taking a loss on your investment.  I do know that you don't want to cash in too soon.  You want to be sure before you take a loss and move on.  This is one reason why I want to watch and see for myself about the Justin Fields investment (a costly investment there too).  I want to be sure by watching this last half of the season with him to see if he truly is a failed pick.  The season is going nowhere anyway.  Why not watch a half-season of QB1 play from this guy and be sure before we fold the cards on him.

You’re right. I have him pegged for $24-25M and JJ for $19-20. Add in $4M for Billings, and these 3 guys take about $50M of the $110M cap space for 2024.
