Landry Trade Rumor Talk

THIS is the definition of a nonsense thread. Wes Welker, even Chris Hogan were stupid releases or whatever. But the BEST receiver on the team and young and capable of production for 10+ more years is ridiculous. You keep your own superstars. Are the Giants boards talking about trading Beckham "seriously" or re-signing him? C'mon man!!!!!!!!

The only comparison Landry and ODB Jr should ever have is that they both attended LSU.

The slot receiver position has greatly increased in value but not enough to consider a top slot guy as a #1 WR.

We ain't winning **** anytime soon, the Browns have three 2nd round picks, send him to Cleveland for a conditional 2nd (whichever of the three picks finishes highest). They have two 1sts as well but no way they give us their own and I highly doubt they give up Houston's.

Hell trade Tannehill for a 1st while you're at it, we'll have two 1sts and two 2nds to build with.

What planet are you on???

Nobody is trading a 1st for Tannehill, let alone a 2nd or a 3rd.

Lmao, you don't think so? Cmon, a guy like Bradford got traded for a 1st and a 4th, we can at least get a 2nd!
 
Landry for Shelton, helps both teams.
 
Well, they won't trade Parker. Signing Kenny Stills was the writing on the wall in invisible ink. Signing Thomas inched us closer. Needing to sign Cutler was the final nail. We have other needs and we can't have Stills and Landry on big contracts while banking on Parker to develop and Carroo improving.

This is why you develop an embarrassment of riches at one position; develop trade-able assets. And here we are staring at future needs on D and OL while being loaded at offensive skill positions. Different circumstances but it feels a little like Wes Welker 2.0.

Stills and Parker offer unique skill sets. Thomas and Carroo can fill the void. We simply have too many mouths to feed. And it is foolish to think we can keep Landry, Stills, Parker, Carroo, Thomas and the other developing WRs forever.

Let's not forget Fasano will help shoulder the underneath workload while Carroo continues to develop.

This is a "Sell High" moment for Landry. He's not getting Top 5 or Top 10 money. And while he is deserving, he is a non-TD producing possession receiver. No matter how much we like him, his skill set loss can be absorbed. Unlike a Stills or Parker. Maybe even Thomas if he gets his head on straight.
 
What is LarryBrown sports? Benji Albright jumping aboard too, not buying it.


Either way it goes the Dolphins are in the drivers seat with the the Landry situation.

Agreed completely, and don't forget about Grant on offense. He's showing he can make plays as well.
 
Hey Sons of Shula it's gonna be hilarious when all these Kiko fans come to the realization that his unnecessary $10M cap number next year is a big reason why their beloved Landry's long term role with the franchise is in jeopardy.
 
Trading Landry would be grade A stupidity. He's one of our best players and arguably the heart of the offense, maybe even team from an intensity/leadership perspective. Stupid. Just stupid if we do that.

See, I totally get what you are seeing but I think it's about timing.

We're two weeks away from Week 1. We paid Cutler. We're looking to compete and we're looking to make a playoff bid. Too many mouths to feed is a problem we want to have.

Landry, Parker, Stills fronting our WR group gives us a dynamic group that not many other NFL teams can compare to.

Now is not the time. If we can't lock Jarvis up because we can't agree on a deal or we determine there is too much money invested at the WR position then we franchise him and make a deal.

But right now, it's just not smart my man...
