Oh well we’ll just have to keep building through the draft

It's not a lot for Smith, but also remember the Ravens are going to have to give him the monster extension Chicago wasn't willing to give him.

So while I'm jealous of the trade, not having to fork out 20M+ a year for the next 4-5 years? Might be a cap bullet dodged.

I wanted Roquan on the Hawks but the draft picks are actually more valuable long term meaning another draft like this year and they’ll be a dynasty in the making

Chicago raking in the draft picks over the past few weeks trying to build around their young QB.

I think they won't re-sign Lamar, and go with Huntley.

Then they just turned themselves into the Chicago team with an inferior running QB that Smith was trying to get away from.

I guess I heard that one wrong. I thought the radio guy said the Raiders. Glad I didn't post that one.

I think Huntley is a wise move.

Rooke contract, and he's a good QB.


Mistake to pay Lamar all that money + guaranteed money.

Huntley's on a one year and a RFA next year, and while I like his game he's a step down from Jackson.

That's Ken Walker III PLUS Tariq Woolen.

Draft picks are valuable. Especially now that JS seems to have gone back to his tried and true methods for drafting.

True but for the other side of the coin...it's also Christine Michael and Tre Flowers.

That would be nice, but I'm not counting on another good draft for 10 years or so. It's the world we live in, he would have made us solid.

 

[KinesProf]

Glad they didn't do it. Draft picks are like gold.

Trading valuable picks and paying a top of market contract for another team's unhappy star at a non-premium position just isn't wise - something I hope they've learned from given Jimmy & Jamal.

 

[Own The West]

It's a 2nd and a 5th for half a season unless they can resign him. I'm going to wait until Smith gets a contract before I judge this trade.

As for us, I am confident we can upgrade Barton for less than a 2nd and a 5th in the draft. We were good to lay off.

 

[Lennie]

If Smith signs a huge contract somewhere else next year, Baltimore will probably get a good compensatory pick. Maybe a 3rd?

More than likely but if they gave up that much draft capital I’m sure he’ll be a part of their long term plans. Jackson probably goes elsewhere next year

That makes sense to me.

I'll be curious to see what the 3rd rounder comp pick threshold is this year since teams seem to be giving out $20M+ per year contracts like candy these days.
