Quote:I'd call it trading away your only experienced veteran receiver on a roster void of veteran receivers.

 

They played an interview with Marqise Lee this morning on 1010XL, and they asked him about the return of Cecil to the lineup, and he said it was a much needed boost because he's a true professional out there, and shows the younger players how to properly run their routes and do their jobs.  In other words, one of the new additions to the roster sees him as an asset and a mentor.  Meanwhile, you see him as trade fodder.  Thank goodness the front office is smart enough to know better.

 

It's okay to retain young, talented players who represent tremendous upside for your team on the field instead of trading away any player who might get you a mid to late round draft pick.  At some point, you have to play with the talent you have on the roster, and Shorts is without a doubt the best receiver on the active roster.
