Quote:I was actually thinking about this yesterday. There is an opinion out there among some fans that Monroe is gone after this year because the new regime is not going to want to pay him the cash to keep him here vs FA market.

If that is the case (I'm not sure it is) then absolutely move him during the season while we can still get something in return.

We could probably sign a serviceable RT in free agency to hold over for 1-2 years while we find someone else in the draft, I don't thnk we would immediately draft another tackle with the other glaring needs on offense.

And thus our sub-par play continues because we keep settling for "serviceable" rather than elite.


This whole idea of trading off our best players to tank the season is knee-jerk and ridiculous. You don't create need on a team that is already so needy.


No one knows for sure if Cleveland is trying to throw their season to get Bridgewater. One thing is for sure, though, getting into a battle to purposely lose may get a player in the draft but will ultimately undermine an organization. It's not smart long-term strategy, it's lazy thinking. If you want to draw welfare because it pays more than minimum wage, then go sign up for your draft EBT card. I shall go to work. Want to bet who comes out ahead in the long run?
