Trading For a Defensive End/Edge Rusher

[RedRamage]

15 minutes left... I wonder if there's any "standing deals" out there where a team basically says: "Yeah, we're hoping to trade this player for higher than what you're offering, but if we don't get any better offers by 3:55, he's yours for the price you offered."

It's kinda a catch-22 situation though, isn't it? I mean if you fire the GM, then who handles the trades to ensure you get top value rather than just throwing away good options for little return? It's almost like teams should have an "interim" person on staff. Someone who's hired by the owner to just sit in on meetings and shadow the GM so he or she can step in if necessary but it's known that this person will never be hired as the full time GM.

Good point but all the organizations have the young underlings that do much of the research and heavy lifting.   If the GM goes,  there will be people in the building that can jump in and make team based decisions with the hope they can stay on with the next administration.

I was in the Vikings forum and one person’s reaction to the Smith trade was the rich got richer. Just step back to think about that. Never in the Super Bowl era have the Lions been considered the rich. 

Rich Eisen starting at the 48s mark: "I've never said this before. I don't think I've said this in my entire life. I don't know how many people in their lives in the great state of Michigan have said this. But the Detroit Lions are the best team in the National Football League.. the Lions aren't just beating up on people, they're putting them in the fetal position. They are exactly what Dan Campbell set out for the Lions to be".

I can’t believe Dallas gave a 4th for Mingo. 

Jerry's ALL-IN, man

I dislike Mike Florio, but one thing he keeps saying about Jerry Jones is true. Jones has said that people would be surprised at the size of the check he’d write to guarantee a Super Bowl. Florio says we’d be surprised, but by how little rather than how much.
