So four or five teams won't drive the price up more than two teams? All righty then.

It's pretty simple logic.

Let's say there are 5 teams in the running and the price is already at a first and a 4th. One team drops out. Does the price go down? Nope, because there are still 4 other teams that need a QB and one of them is already willing to pay a first and a 4th. That team that dropped out also took another QB option off the table for the rest of the teams and if that was the only other option for one of the teams, that might have actually raised the price.

The price on Jimmy G is only going to go up from where it is now if there are multiple teams interested.

Regardless if it's even legal. I'm pretty sure NE knows what everyone's offer is already.

Hell I wouldn't doubt he and Shanahan have had a discussion about it over the last two weeks.

They most likely have. That's how those free agent signings get announced before free agency has even started.

Those other teams have a good idea if their offer is the best one on the table and are considering if they want to up their offer right now.

I guess you don't understand how it works. More competition drives up the price. Supply and demand. I'll just let others comment on it from here. Maybe they can explain it in a way you can better understand it.

Why even waste your time. The entire thread is moronic.

I don't know of any team that's privately worked out another teams player prior to a trade?

Wouldn't that technically be tampering?

That isn't going to happen. THE Pats aren't going to let us kick the tires with their player.

What happens if he gets hurt while we are working him out?? "Sorry Bill, we don't want him."

We might talk to him, but we aren't going to get him and take him through any workouts.

Not if NE gave the permission to talk to him, but trust me, he won't be running any sprints or throwing the ball around.


The more I think about it, why would NE even do that? Makes no sense. NE might want to trade him to us but the deal gets nixed because we don't like what we hear.

We will be able to talk to his agent.

Yes more teams drive up the price, but the price doesn't drop as they drop out. It just keeps going up.

Have you ever been to an auction? Have you ever seen the price start going down as people drop out of the bidding? No as long as there are still 2 bidders it just keeps going up.

Now say something brilliant like "I guess you mean that 7=9", "I guess you are saying that dogs and cats should marry" or "I guess your statement is that the world is really flat."

That's always the best way to argue against common sense.



It's a conspiracy against your claim of being the smartest guy on the inter-tubes.

I don't know if I am the smartest, but I sure as hell aim't dumb enough to create all these impossible trade scenarios.

But, you keep on dissing me.............it might make you larger.

Just keeping up with the guy that has already told 3 or 4 people in the last two days about their moronic posts.

Keep thinking that yours doesn't stink buddy.

Yawn

But you keep reading, and posting in said thread....

I can't think of one example of this happening with a traded player.

Even working out Garoppolo, while he is still under contracat with another team, was possible (which it really isn't), do we really want Jackson basing his opinion of him off of a workout? Will the ground move beneath his feet?

Getting Garoppolo in for a visit is not realistic.

So because we can't do something that no team ever does, we shouldn't expect a player to be traded to the team?

Did Jamie Collins come in for a visit before we traded for him?

No.

Didn't think so.

Sorry man. The Pats would be stupid to allow us to bring him in, and I have news for you. The Pats aren't dumb.

I can see allowing us to talk to his agent about what it will take to get him to sign an extension, but we aren't going to get to work him out. The only time we are going to get to say no to the deal is before any trade is made, or just after he fails physical, and throwing the ball and running around on a football field isn't a part of the process. The only running he will be doing is on a treadmill to monitor his cardiovascular.

I am not trying to fight with anyone or be smart. I am simply stating that what you suggested we do, workout a player who is currently under contract for another team, is not realistic at all and not worth even discussing.

There is no chance they would.

Here are some notable trades that were around QB's.

Brett Farve
Eli Manning
John Elway
Dante Culpepper/Brad Johnson

Take your pick for greatest need in top 2 rounds until your situation improves. Mix in 3 FA's. Play with some of this other stuff in later rounds. I do not want to trade down, experimental (what have we got? gotta see more!), a non-playing project like Kessler, and more of the same. No guarantees. Get your best bet for a year or two. We have missed a fleet and a few more of boats horsing around in the draft.

The closest Comp. is Cassel, Had less then a season played, was a young QB, and just for good measure came from the same team.

These are the exceptions and/or they never even played a down for the team that traded them.

It's funny. People asked for examples of such trades and they were provided. Now people are trying to qualify the trades and show how they don't apply. Funny how that works.

Are you replying to me on accident?

I was agreeing with you!
