Rasul Douglas Traded To Bills

[Joemailman]

Given Packers recent draft history, should have given Bills their 3rd and taken a 5th.

He’s had some success - but I’ve called out some terrible plays while watching this. For effectively a 4th rd value - i think it’s a good trade.

Hope Jaire and Preston are shipped off too while we finally admit the rebuild mode is here.

Montez Sweat to the Bears, Chase Young to the 49ers, Leonard Williams (NYG) to the Seahawks. Detroit gets Donovan Peoples-Jones for a R6. Vikings trade a R6 pick to ARI for Josh Dobbs, and trade Ezra Cleveland. Lots of players moving.

Wait, this ears best packers cb and a 5th for a 3rd.

Remind me why I supported gute on my last post here

Just noticed Montez Sweat is (like Gary) on his 5th year option. So the Bears traded a R2 pick for the right to pay Sweat a big extension. Wonder how that's going to go with Bears fans. Hey, at least it's not an ILB.
Didn't see Jaylon Johnson, who is a very good young corner, get traded even though he requested one. My guess is he signs elsewhere in FA. I'm assuming he's looking for a contract that overpays him and that's why he is stuck playing out his rookie deal.

It hurts them this year, but it's not a terrible move in the long run, especially if Jaire/Stokes can get healthy and consistent. I think they really like Valentine, and they have a logjam at outside receiver anyway.
Other teams are only going to want your good players. Nobody is trading for Royce Newman.

[NewsBruin]

Vikings going both directions weirds me out. Do they see Dobbs having a place on the 2024 roster?

[RashanGary]

Sul was probably our 2nd best defender after Gary this year.

Hopefully we get in the Drake Maye sweepstakes

Meh, he's no spring chicken anymore. His current contract is a nonstarter for 2024 so he'd have to have been agreeable to a sizeable restructure. Move ahead with the youth movement at this point in time.

He is the 10th best CB in the NFL according to PFF. $11.6 for his last year is a nonstarter?? Man, who should we pay then?

A gm that would give up a first for Douglas would be tarred, feathered and beheaded before being burned at the stake.

Why would any competent GM’s include a 29 year old, slightly above average, cornerback in their big plans for the future. This team is probably 2-3 years away from being decent. That’ll put Rasul at 31-32 years old.

Yes, I know no one would give a first which is why I knew I hated this deal. Duh...exactly what I was saying.

With an added year together and a new LT in the draft this team could make noise in next year. This isn't 1989 where rebuilds take years. It can be fast. See Lions, Detroit.

And he isn't slightly above average, he is top 10 based on metrics. He is not 29, he is 28. He is also a relentless studier who taught Jaire how to film study. I can see where thats not the guy you want around younger players. Maybe sign Antonio Brown to build the locker room.

Thats a lot of mistakes in one post. I'll cut you some slack and assume post #8 will be more accurate. At least get the age right. Thats easy to google.

i completely agree with this

this is a terrible trade. we gave up our best DB for less then a 3rd

are we in full rebuild mode? why weren't we in that mode already last offseason?

[bobblehead]

See, Red and Rash agree with me....shit, I better reconsider.

Just kidding guys, we all agree....Gutes fucked this one up.

[MadScientist]

It's an ok trade. The net is in the range of the bottom of round 3 to the middle of round 4. It all depends if GB can avoid their 3rd round curse.

Because they weren't going to pay him 9M next year, and he isn't getting younger. This year is toast and something is better than nothing.

[Teamcheez1]

I believe they would have gotten rid of Aaron Jones and Preston Smith with the right offers.
It’s likely Jones, Dillon, and Smith are gone next year anyway.

One mistake on the age. The rest is pure conjecture on your part. So you think this team is only one LT, and a rookie LT at that, away from “making noise”? How about our center, RG, Dline, cornerback, safeties, LB, defensive coordinator and qb who really hasn’t shown much? And you think a rookie LT is going to come in and fix that all?? There’s a reason that this team is one of the worst in the league right now, and it isn’t because of just the LT.
Also, Detroit has finally become good after years of inept management and coaching and high draft picks. They did not just turn their franchise around in a year.
But hey, at least you can hang your hat on me being off 1 year on Rasul’s age. Even at 28, unless his name is sauce or prime time, a gm isn’t planning the future around him.
