Who said they wouldn't? Geez, read between the lines will ya'? He didn't exclude them from doing that too. It's a Bears site so why wouldn't he look at it from the Bears perspective?All he was saying is that with the 1st round picks of the three most interested teams being as high as they are getting one of those 2017 1st seems doubtful so he proposed a 2018 first instead which falls closer to the market value of the Bradford trade if you take one half the value for that same pick a year later as a haircut for the deferral.
Maybe it's a 2nd or a 2nd and something else or a conditional 2nd that can become a 1st? It's a column probably limited by his editor to so much length. Did you want him to work his way through each scenario all three teams could possibly offer?
Come on, take it for what it's worth a simple suggestion.
Frankly I'd keep Cutler at his price now but I'm tired of debating that with you so I'm finding something new to irritate you with. LOLOL
Browns, sorry are only 2 first round picks are top 10, we cannot offer those for Jimmy but we can offer you our 2nd and 4th
Bears, sorry top 5 pick isn't worth Jimmy but we can offer a worse 2nd and a 4th, or next year's 1st and this years 4th
SF, Sorry top 5 pick isn't worth Jimmy but we can offer you a worse 2nd and 4th, or next years 1st and this years 4th.
Back to Browns, sorry your 2nd and 4th isnt' good enough, Bears and SF said 1st next year and 4th this year can you sweetin the pot?
3 teams needing qb, what eventually happens? Browns give their 7th pick this year to get Jimmy. That is how this is going to play out. There is no scenerio that the Bears can offer a a better option then the Browns can. And I haven't even worked in the Jags yet.
Cleveland also has RGIII so what if they feel he's more they style of QB they want. It seems to me they're looking to sell a more exciting flamboyant type of passer there or what ditch a Hoyer and draft a Manziel. If they can't win the can sell the sizzle not the steak.
We set a price and if it's not good enough well it's not but unless you're prepared to accept another year of Cutler while we figure out who comes next why discard the idea? It's not an impossibility at all.
If the offers are close and the Bears offer fair and Garopplo would prefer coming back to play in a city where if he does succeed as a local boy he'll own the town how do you know Belicheat won't honor that out of respect for him?
There is no accurate way to predict any of it now. We don't even know if NE will offer him up for trade so even that's no more than a hypothetical. All I did was set some parameters and limitations on a trade so we could discuss i based on that and only on that. We can't control what another team does so we stack our chips to do the best we can if the opportunity presents itself.
Some will still prefer to draft whereas in this draft with these prospects I prefer to mitigate risk and I believe Garoppolo is a way to do that and get a 2018 starter. I don't believe a rookie draftee will start and succeed in 2018.
