Why give up a 1st round pick for a proven elite NFL corner when you could use that pick on someone who if you're lucky might possibly become an elite NFL corner?

That's a 1st round asking price for teams who aren't their divisional rivals.

Minkah was the 11th pick last year. I imagine they'd want at least 2 1st to trade him to us. The other dude they get hit with a crazy cap hit if they trade.

These are more madden trades than feasible ones

Same reason you trade the NFL's best corner for a draft pick and then draft another corner who can't stay on the field.

Because you want to get fired and take everyone down with you.

I would agree except that there are plenty of stories about players wanting out of Miami. I do agree that it's unlikely that Miami would want to trade either to us, but I'd still be asking.

Who cares if they want out? With Howard they're getting killed with a cap hit, and Minkah is under team control for 4 more years for an extremely affordable price, before even factoring in the tag

Minkah's probably not real for anyone, much less a divisional rival, but Howard has huge money starting next year and the Dolphins don't care about cap space this year so the hit is irrelevant. If he wants out and they can get a good return for him, I believe they look seriously at it.

So Texans traded for Brandin Cooks

They have a 2020 2nd and will get a 2022 4th along with Cooks. The 2022 pick has the same value as a 2020 6th rounder.


So Bill O’Brien has traded DeAndre Hopkins for essentially the following things....

17 spots in round 2 (from 57 to 40), Brandin Cooks, David Johnson and 2022 4th round pick.

I could be wrong but I think Cooks will count essentially the same against the cap than Nuk Hopkins, possibly more.

I just checked OTC. So Cooks is cheaper this year by $4 million in cap charge. But next year they are essentially even, and Cooks deal lasts longer and he is owed more money over the remainder of his deal than Hopkins is over his

We really need to start making trades with the Texans.

I'm willing to wager that by the end of his career, more draft capital will have been spent on acquiring Brandin Cooks than any player in NFL history.

Sam Bradford is the cash trade king

Sam Bradford is the cash trade king

He and Chase Daniel should co-author a book about how to win in the NFL.

I think at least the number of teams he has been traded to puts him on the short list. 4 trades by age 26? Absolutely crazy

Texans finalize contract with Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil for $22 million a year, $57 million guaranteed, including $13 million signing bonus

I'm no accountant, but that sounds like a large amount of money.

[Heismanberg]

O'Brien is doing one of the worst jobs in sports history

That would be ridiculous.

The benefit of having no good offensive lineman is that we don't need to pay them
