Its almost like there's ways to build a defense outside of the draft. Or preemptively trade a player who you won't be able to re-sign.

Huh.

Naturally, every move any NFL GM makes serves as a counterpoint to Ted's incompetence.

Ted who?

[Bretsky]

Wear the SHADES............in Ted we trust........

[Upnorth]

This just goes to prove that with TT as a GM we will never ever ever win a superbowl. If we ever did it would have to be discounted as luck. We are lucky to even make it to the playoffs on occasion, and could never make the playoffs on a consistent basis

[Upnorth]

Seriously though, why does another team's gm making a trade or being very active early in the free agency period make TT any worse. That is a fools errand and show a lack of logic, all 32 teams are active, only 1 will get each free agent. But i guess emotion can dictate for some

[Striker]

It's almost like the Cardinals are making a desperation move because their QB situation is highly questionable and, with many pending FAs, kind of have to go all or nothing.

Unfortunately for them the NFC West likely won't be a cake walk so this could all implode in their faces quite spectacularly if Jones plays lights out, they fail to advance, and then he get a huge payday somewhere else.

They're also gambling on Chandler Jones to find some type of consistency. He did have 13.5 total sacks last season, but 10.5 of those came in a total of 5 games against opponents .500 or worse.

But why use facts when emotional, idiotic takes sound SO much better.

Look at the OP's username and all will be answered.

Word here in Rhode Island was that the Packers, Cleveland, Atlanta, Jacksonville and Arizona were in on the bidding

Huh.

It's almost like you have an agenda. Or actively choose any data points that bolster your tired, feeble argument.

Huh.

Who would you trade for on the Packers roster that the Pack would give up?

[ThunderDan]

Maybe Tretter or Lindsley would have some value.

[woodbuck27]

Ted who?

"A trade in the NFL...a Blockbuster Trade!? What's a trade?" Green Bay Packers GM Ted Thompson

[woodbuck27]

How about trading away a lot of CAP...Trade CM III to assist in keeping the top players in the Roster.
