Jonnu Smith Trade?

[Ray R]

Even if you’re right about him not being a top 3 option this yr he would be next yr when hill is gone. You don’t draft based on what you’re getting from a rookie year 1.

That depends on the rookie! - LOL

 

[SQuinn17]

But, but, but who does? - LOL

Lol exactly

Dude has one good year at 30 plus and then wants to get paid.

Kick rocks jonnu. You aren’t anything special.

Disagree. He’s always been a really good TE in bad situations. Extend him. TE play well into their 30s.

 

[laxcoach]

Yeah because a TE that wouldn’t even be a top 3 option (Hill, Waddle, Achane) is more important than the DT we desperately needed. Even WR #3 and #4 are promising. Warren was never going to be the ideal pick

If they valued that position, they could have gotten Jason Taylor’s kid in the 2nd. They clearly wanted muscle and weight on the lines

 

[Mr Fan]

I just don't think he is that good of TE. When everyone is covering Hill, Waddle and Achane of course he is going to get open.

 

[Ray R]

Which is dumber?

1. Pay Jonnu the 4.5m he is due this year and let him walk next year for nothing
2. Extend Jonnu at the going rate say $10 per annum for two years (see the Theo Johnson contract or Noah Fant from last year)
3. Trade him whilst he at a high value now for asset either that's a pick or player

That is the conundrum.

So, we have several opportunities that can make this team good; keep a player, keep the player and pay him more to keep him longer, or trade the player for another good player or a high draft pick next year.

There is nothing "RONG" with examining your options.

There will always be fans supporting or opposing whatever we do, but winning cures everything, so FO, keep your eye on the ball- LOL

This is not a serious organization.

This not new information

 

[Dolph N.Fan]

miami going 6-11 this year anyway. Might as well get a pick for Smith

 

[mekadave]

Greer has to go. FTG.

 

[Manning]

Apparently the Steelers approached Grier after hearing about the situation

And how would they know the situation? My guess would be Smith reaching out to his buddy he was with in Atl OR Grier being full of **** as usual

ask @dolfan91, he posted it on page 3

Jonnu is worth more to this offense than any team will give up for him.

Giving him an extension wouldn't be the worst thing. It's not like he would be getting $17 million per season.

 

[mekadave]

Anyone that thinks Greer doing this is a good thing needs their head examined. This is asinine. As stupid as going the whole season with last year's guards.

 

[MARINO1384]

If we're gonna sell this season, trade him. Sucks, but it is what it is. I've been lurking around Steelers boards and they generally aren't cool with the trade. They are more worried about a QB. I get it.

This is to get their qb. More weapons makes it more appealing to Rodgers.

 

[Highzenga]

You guys are all losing the forest through the trees. They trade back in the draft, for picks next year, when they are full of holes this year. They are considering trading Jonnu Smith, when they have little talent at the TE position. Trading Ramsey when they have no CBs. Has Grier been told his job his guaranteed for next year? Same for McDaniel? They are both sure acting like it.

It certainly seems like it. Unless if McDaniel loses the locker room.

This is a rebuild with hopes of staying competitive next year. But if Tua goes down early, we will be in line for a top 5 pick.
