    You think Douglas would save $4 mil to start a lesser player with an injury history just because Winters is a Macc guy?

    This is a depth trade.

    And he just had a son so hopefully he plays his ass off for the little guy.

    they probably won't cut Winters in 2019, but its absolutely his last year as a Jet.

    Shit trade, 3 years 3 injuries, why trade for a guy who is injured every year when his release was already announced.
    There wasn't going to be any rush to claim him from waivers.
    The Ravens dumped him with no viable options to play guard on the roster. Tells you everything you need to know .....

    its a conditional 7th rounder dude... its not even really a trade.

    they will make the conditionals high enough it will be impossible to reach, its basically just a handshake agreement between two teams

    Dude, it's a conditional 7th round pick. All you're doing is basically reserving the table... that doesn't mean you have to even sit at it if the menu blows.

    Because if either of our guards gets injured Ben Braden is starting.

    You started the thread with half a dozen post praising the guy.
    And a bunch of posters praising the move too. He's an injury prone back up.
    Easy on the coolaid....

    If your going to give the background report, give the full 3 year history.
    But in all reality I'm just stirring the pot.
    Its great to be excited about the new regime and roster, just think some need to temper their excitement on acquisitions.
    Montreal Meander was called a high character Douglas pick, the excitement over Ryan Griffin.....
    Really didn't mean to single you out. So for that I apologize. Just breaking balls. No I'll will meant

    I almost went there... :oops:

    However this ends up, the players have to see that just good enough isn't good enough.

    The bubble your sitting on ain't a Bosu Ball...

    I feel like there isn’t much praise there but this is a stupid convo. He’s depth.
