I emphasize rumor before I get killed. Just thought it was interesting. Saw it on Facebook, no link...
Quote:
Miami Herald beat writer Adam Beasley says the Dolphins are looking into trading for a big name CB. A source close to the situation said that DRC's name has been discussed as a possible option.
If he was in a good offense, he'd be talked about as one of the best.
I don't think he's a secret. He's great already. He has the exact same number of receptions as Beckham in his career, but he's a slot receiver, so his yards are a lot less.
If he was in a good offense, he'd be talked about as one of the best.
Plus he's OBJ's best friend. That would be an amazing locker room. They constantly compete. Odell ups his game when Landry is involved.
I wouldn't mind either a DRC for Landry or a DRC for Joe Thomas deal. But, those seem highly unlikely to happen. Miami would have to be crazy to trade Landry. He's probably their best player, except for - maybe - Suh.
You would think that nearly everyone's first goal would be making it to the Super Bowl the next two seasons, while Eli still here and we suddenly have a Championship caliber defense. Five on 1st or 2nd All Pro plus all rookie team Apple and JPP.
But many think that managing the cap for future years so the Giants don't find themselves as bottom fielders again is all important. I guess that's a valid way to approach the game. But trading DRC for draft choices? Some of the younger here may believe that you're going to use the picks to get two players as good as DRC, when it's more likely that you'll get one better than average guy who will become a starter. Trade DRC, JPP walks for an extra two million, and say goodbye to our elite new defense before it even got started.
I think DRC is good value for NYG and personally think a trade is unlikely unless we are offered the proverbial "deal we can't refuse".
I don't believe a Jarvis Landry trade is likely at all. I expect the Dolphins will extend him soon.
In the spirit of hypothetical discussions in a slow news period (and that is all any of this really is), let's assume NYG might be willing to consider a deal of some kind.
Big Blue Unbiased suggests 4 alternate trade situations for DRC, what do you think?
but if I did - let's say it was an offer I couldn't refuse, I wouldn't trade him for Ebron when you might be able to get Jared Cook or Jack Doyle or Ryan Griffin as a UFA
Is due over 8 mill and is not even a good LT . He's now probably best suited as a G. Know one in his right mind would trade for a contract like that. My guess is he will be cut very soon.
Way better than what we have. Would probably be our best Olineman, but there is no point in trading an All-Pro caliber CB for a 33 year old player whose team is going to cut him.
1. Players are almost never traded for other players in the NFL so stop with the Landry or Tunsil crap. The trade would be for picks.
2. It would probably be for a 3rd rounder at best. The Dolphins aren't dumb and know he's 31 with 1 more good season in him. I'd even be surprised if they got a 3rd.
In reality, the offer is probably more like a conditional 6th with the Dolphins just seeing if the Giants are thinking about cutting him. Based on last year Giants are going to keep him so they'll say no and that will be that.

Maybe w that extra 5 million u can Re do JPP and Hankins? No one wants the guy gone. People forget the cap hell the team was in. DRC had to has his snapped managed because he can't play full time.
It's no dumb. It's. It short sighted. Is just a different view point. I don't get the way people act like trading him is insane.
Bill Belichick the best NFL coach traded Collins and Chandler. He's trade DRC in a second I'd be thought it was good. Who's smarter the people losing their shit over the mere suggestion or the best coach in the lst 25 years?

The money he is due under his current contract is not guaranteed. As usual, the concept would be to get him to agree to a new deal with the trading partner that gives him some guaranteed money, but not as much as the nominal amount.
And Coughlin may well be interested if reports are accurate. jags - ( New Window )

That's a terrible example when the guy you reference is capable of turning 3rd rounders and UDFA's into solid starting corners. And it's not as if there's more than one guy who's been doing it, it's basically Belichick and only Belichick. If we had a guy who could coach like that, we'd be making those personnel moves as well.
Didn't Landry catch more balls than anyone else in Miami last year?
I don't think he's a secret. He's great already. He has the exact same number of receptions as Beckham in his career, but he's a slot receiver, so his yards are a lot less.
he returns punts too (and kicks occasionally).
He'll get paid when he's a FA
Plus he's OBJ's best friend. That would be an amazing locker room. They constantly compete. Odell ups his game when Landry is involved.

(1) The Giants are not trading DRC for Albert.
(2) The Dolphins are not trading Landry for DRC.
The combine can't get here fast enough.

2. New Orleans Saints for RB Mark Ingram
3. Green Bay Packers for QB Brett Hundley
