As of 8am this morning I'm told "it was looking like Green Bay was potentially going to offer the best deal for Chase (Claypool)," per league source. Obviously the #Bears have swooped in and nabbed the #Steelers WR.

Hockenson was 2 and 3 for TJ and a 4th...conditional 4th in 2024 as well. Personally I would have like to have made that trade. TJ is a total package. Blocks, catches does anything asked of him. He would have been an instant big upgrade over any of our TEs at what they do best....except MAYBE Old mercedes is still a better blocker by a touch.

Be surprised if we offer a high first for him. If our first would be in the 20s, maybe. It'll probably be around 12 - 14. I wouldn't want to give that up.

Detroit exercised his 5th year option for next year, and MIN would do same - they'll likely sign him to an extension. I like that trade for MIN actually, it gets them an in-prime player who can be a good weapon for their offense and they didn't give up a lot for him.
The other trades I'm meh on. Roquan is going to be expensive to extend, and Claypool for a R2? Good if streaky player who seems like he's got a little knucklehead to him. It looks like the Bears FO is trying to revamp their roster to be more offense-oriented and give Justin Fields someone else to throw to.
The Chubb trade I kind of like -- he's a good player but it's another one where they'll have to extend him. I'm not a huge fan of trading picks to another team for the right to sign one of their players to a market contract. You're buying at the top of market and if you're wrong (often the case) you've overpaid and it hurts you down the road. He certainly helps Miami make a push into the playoffs. I'm not sure what Denver is doing.
I don't expect GB to be significant buyers today, sellers possibly. Maybe they trade for a Kendrick Bourne type of player, but he's not moving the needle that much. Brandin Cooks has a toxic contract (18M guaranteed next year) and I think GB has enough cap issues as it is. Not sure there's a lot out there that will solve GBs current issues, but it won't be surprising to hear GB was involved in a lot of talks that lead nowhere.
I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen
