Ramsey traded to Dolphins for a bag of potato chips

Well...a 3rd round pick plus a no name TE.

Rusty Trombagent · Sun Mar 12, 2023 2:42 pm

bears fans never would have done this because his contract is more than vet minimum

Reads like his cap number is $17M.

That takes us down to $58M from $75M.

That means one "name" for the OL down from two, but then money for the DL.

Then what? Put JJ at #2, then Gordon permanent slot corner?

Yeah this could've worked.

Yep would have made a lot of sense

That's both the lightest price and arguably the best talent involved in any trade I can remember that's been discussed in recent months, so comparisons to other proposals is dubious.

This one isn't so bad.

The Fins are loaded. They should go after Brady IMO and win a championship

Also gives some context for all those who wanted to fire Poles after the Mack trade - or think the return on Quinn was a bag of potato chips

I suddenly want potato chips.

I don't normally get into flavored chips, but I recently got these in a "build your own basket" from work and they were startlingly good.

Somewhat.
However, trade returns are just so freaking erratic, it's hard to get a handle on them.

High priced Quinn for 1 year nets a late 4
Ramsey at small discount for 3yrs only gets a late 3
Roquan for 1 yr gets a late 2 + 5
High priced Mack for ? yrs gets a 2
Claypool for 1 yr gets a high 2

The more you look, the more they just don't fit together well.

Agreed. I think that it all boils down to: if a team is motivated to move a player, they take whatever is the best deal on the table at that moment in time, and don't particularly worry about the return. Sometimes it's more than warranted (Claypool), sometimes it's maybe less (Ramsey/Roquan).

Teams take what they can get and move on.

Yea I agree, you take what you can get. Quinn was traded for a bag of potato chips, but that doesn't mean I think it was a bad deal. I praised the deal and never once questioned it. Rich is a liar so he will ignore that and try to start shit anyways.

Do you actually know what the word Liar means? Maybe a dictionary.com subscription for you this year for Fathers Day.

Quinn got a 4th Round pick, Ramsey (also potato chips?) was a 3rd

These aren't that. You don't seem to know what you are talking about.
