Trade Deadline Thread (Tomorrow 4PM)

[Ed Hillel]

The Talib trade came in at like 4:30 to the media so not dead yet!

So...no Justin Tuck in our stocking. Rats.

Rams traded fourth- and sixth- round picks to Buccaneers for S Mark Barron, per source.

Schefter says the Rams gave up 4th plus 6th rounders for Barron.
 
Edit: Damn you Corsi.
 
If TB thinks Barron is truly a bust, that's not a terrible return given that he only has one more year left on his deal (plus a team option we assume nobody wants to pick up).  The Rams need safety help badly but I don't quite understand the logic from their perspective.  This year is a lost cause and so they give up two mid-late picks to add a semi-bust SS for one year next year.  And if he breaks out in a new system then they either get to pick up a very expensive option or compete for him in free agency.

Tampa sends Jonathan Casillas to Pats, per PFT. No word on what the Pats gave up.

A swap of 7ths is my hope.

So, you want the Bucs to trade a player and a 7th to the pats for a 7th?

Is that really so much to ask?

Now that you put it that way, of course not

 

[Stitch01]

Pats don't have their own 7th.

It is a bit weird. One, you're right that they just lost two safeties to injury, so gotta pick up someone. Two, Fisher/Snead may feel their jobs are on the line so are hoping for a late run....late rounders may not be their main concern. Three, maybe Fisher/Robinson think that Barron will be more of a fit in their style defense, so think they're getting him cheap.
 
I dunno...I agree it doesn't quite compute.

I think you've probably nailed it.  This seems like a classic case where the short term incentives of coaches with weak job security don't necessarily align with the long-term interests of the franchise.

And of course, the Raiders, and Jets dealt no one, because that would be the smart thing to do in their situations.

Hey man, the Jets are buyers right now. Harvin was the piece they needed.
