Trading For a Defensive End/Edge Rusher

[KnoxP]

All of this is reminding me that there are LOTS of 'regular guys' like all of us here, who have a platform. So many wild speculations like the one up thread about 3 1sts for Miles Garrett. It's really the wild west out there.😵

[Jimbo]

Yeah, its fun, especially when your team is this good.

I am pretty sure most of the GM's this teams has had, I could of done better than lol.  Although now, I really don't question Holme's madness.  I just accept it.  Its actually very weird to just put your full trust into the Lions franchise.

[RedRamage]

Not that I'm counting down or anything, but 126 hours, 25 minutes left.

[Jimbo]

The fact that they haven't made a deal yet can either be they are holding out for the best player and best deal or they are not going to make a deal.  I am thinking they are definitely going to make a deal and have multiple options but are going to wait till after this weekend.  Total irresponsible speculation

[NYLion]

I'd lean towards not making a deal. Get ready for it boys and by "it" I mean nothing happening.

Still plenty of time for things to happen. 

There are teams trying to convince themselves they still have an outside shot at a playoff run that with another loss on Sunday will fold and become sellers.    

There will be a flurry of activity starting on Sunday night all the way up to 4:00 on Tuesday.

I feel like we needed a dB even more last year and Brad stuck to his guns and wasn't willing to sacrifice the future for it.

Feel this year will be no different, if the rumored day 3 pick asking price for Smith is true he may go for that but don't see anything bigger than that.

I agree with this. A lot of guys we think are available might not be available yet. And maybe a few guys we don’t think are available could be after Sunday. 

Also, I’ve thought since the injury that they would want a few weeks to evaluate their backups and determine how significant their need is. Seems like they were high on Muhammad’s performance.

The most absurd trade proposal of all time!

[RandyMarsh]

Factoring in salary I'm not so sure I would do Gibbs, a 1st and a mid round pick for him let alone 3 1sts and a 2nd. 

[RedRamage]

I don't think even Matt Millen would consider that for more than 2 seconds. Holy crap that would instantly become the new worst trade in NFL history. I mean even if the Lions won a super bowl this year because of this trade I'd consider it an awful trade.

[Motown Bombers]

I like the WTF look on Bart Scott’s face. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Jesus Christ that makes the Herschal Walker trade look like a steal.

[NYLion]

I had the same look as Bart Scott when I saw that proposal and the moron is acting like Gibbs is a throw in. Maybe I'm crazy but I don't think I'd trade Gibbs straight up for Garrett.

[TP_Fan]

Yeah, trading Gibbs would have to come with haul. That dude is valuable as hell in a position that isn’t overly expensive.  He does it all.  

[Jason_R]

The bigger point is that some players are just not going to be traded, even if fans think they should be.

The Browns made the playoffs last year and even though they had a terrible start to this season, the AFC has a lot of mediocre teams competing for wildcard spots. 

I take this as a former GM telling the audience how he would politely ask another GM to BTFO.

I imagine he sat up last might wondering...what kind of trade can I propose on national TV, that's the most absurd thing seen to date.  YES!!  He's trying way too hard to get noticed. 

[Jimbo]

That's a non-sense trade.  It doesn't even make sense from a Browns standpoint to even ask to include Gibbs in any trade combination

Ridiculous. A 2nd round pick in 2025 and a first rounder in 2026, and that's an overpay.

I would accept that deal and sign the paperwork so fast that the Browns wouldn't have time to come to their senses.
