re: Graham to St. Louis?

So I will say again...

If they work out a deal with him they by nfl rule give up 13 in this year's draft and 1st next year.

They can do this automatically...

Why would they engage in trade talks, negotiate, etc to give a HIGHER pick this year?

How about we entertain trade talk ideas with say a detroit...a team in need of another passing target to give calvin breathing room...imagine those 2 with reggie...in theory this sounds like a more plausible idea than a team already invested in the position with young talent as potential partners.

Detroit has absolutely no way to sign him

no money...wtf...where did it all go? are they still paying off matt millen contracts?

if its one of those teams i want chancellor or an additional 3 thrown in....2 borderline 2nd round picks does not equal jimmy

i should clarify
seattle-chancellor
green bay 3rd

I doubt Seattle could do it. Greenbays offense would be sick with Graham, but their defense is still a huge mess.

Because no team is going to give up 2 firsts for him. He's not getting signed to an offer sheet.

If the Rams give up the second overall it's because that's all they're going to give up. If they give up the 13th we'll likely get a third rounder also.

This. St. Louis can offer whichever firsts they chose so long as both parties agree to the deal. Doesnt matter if that 2nd overall was aquired by trade or not

That's only true in a trade. If they sign him we don't get the second overall.

Anyway all of this is moot because he will be with the Saints unless he stays locked at $12m per.

JG is not worth a 2nd & 13th pick

"In place: The Rams spent big money last offseason to bring tight end Jared Cook to St. Louis from Tennessee. Although technically listed as a tight end, Cook was the de facto replacement for Danny Amendola as a super sized slot receiver.

Lance Kendricks and Cory Harkey remain under the team's control for 2014 and join Cook as one of the groups where the Rams seem most settled heading into the offseason."

Just throwing this here since people are foolish enough to think the Rams would be a team that Graham will go to.

Also they only have $7.3m in cap space(5th least in the league) with holes at LB and backup(if not starting) QB, amongst others.

That makes the original message look even sillier.

Edit:
Teams that really might go bonkers and do it are the Raiders and the Jags. Both could use star power and are 1 and 2 in cap space. And both are very poorly run.

I'd put the Jets, Bills, and Vikings as the next 3 with a lot of cap space and a need, but they aren't going to overpay(at least not to the extent the Raiders or Jags would).

Falcons only if they want to stick it to us, but they have bigger holes and couldn't go crazy with it.
