Quote:1. why would cecil pray blackmon stays down? he probably wants the best for blackmon, and if he gets traded he might wind up in a better situation like on the pats or something....

 

2. i also dont agree that a WR who hasnt played in forever, who is 1 strike away from being done, makes anyone expendable. putting your money on someone so close to the door doesnt make much sense. 

 

Cecil is the definition of a decent player that is worthy of an NFL roster spot but not worthy of being the cornerstone of your WR corps. As such, With his value inflated due to being THE guy at the WR spot, You deal him before hes brought back down to his actual value. IMO, Its the difference between a 2nd/3rd and a 4th/5th. How does blackmon make him more "tradeable"? Because if Blackmon makes the unlikely transformation back into an NFL player, Hes going to dominate. Robinson/Lee I suspect will make it very hard for shorts to see the field.

 

Also, I stand corrected on your 1st point. Him leaving Jacksonville is probably his best bet short-term anyways.
