Delanie Walker Could Provide Value

Yes, I’m on the no more trades list.

 

Nice place for him to be considering our weapons. He has to have a huge boner

 

Not really sure why Tampa would trade away Howard at this point. They won't get a draft pick for him until the next draft so no benefit as they try to win another championship this year. Their focus is this year. Yea, they won it without Howard after he tore his achilles but who knows if someone else is going to get hurt. Gronkowski is 32 years old and mostly there for the playoffs.

With that said I'm sure JRob would trade for him on a reasonable trade deal (last year of his contract and he makes $6 mil). But I don't see JRob giving up anything in the first 4 rounds since we lost picks in the Julio trade. I certainly don't see why Tampa would dump the guy for a late round pick when he can be useful to them this year.

 

Howard requested a trade last April..he's basically behind Gronk and Brate.

Trade them Raashan Evans, although they just drafted Tryon

 

I am not against a trade, just not involving giving up our picks. Player trades maybe.

 

Now that might make sense since both players are in their last year.

 

I'm assuming Monty Rice would be Evans replacement?

 

I think Long would replace Evans this yr.

Interesting idea of player for player trade…I’m really expecting Evans to have his most impactful year yet. Similar to Davis having his best yr last yr after his 5th yr option wasn’t picked up

 

I'd expect Rice was drafted to fill Evans role eventually with Long replacing Brown if he isn't retained. So really comes down to Rice early performance in camp. But I don't see Evans going anywhere and agree with 2004 he might have a great year (Brown also) so letting Rice sit for a year as a backup isn't the worst thing. Also, Rice can focus on Evan's spot and Long on Brown's (which he played last year anyway).

 

Long is very good and very fast for a 6th rd pick .... also doesnt give up dumb penalties like Evans
