Uhhh...why????????????????

 

[Maelstrom787]

I... I think I still have to bite my tongue

Ah, the hell with it.

Why the hell didn't we just take him to begin with? Had to wait for him to self-destruct and then give up assets for him?

 

[seabowl]

I thought Pete Carol wasn’t the coach anymore?

 

[Cyrus12]

Absolutely no threat to Geno..imo sign Lock to 5 mill and keep the picks. After all we do need linebackers...

 

[Cyrus12]

Pete doesn't make this trade..he re-signs Lock.

Why are we giving up draft picks for this, especially a 3rd round

 

[Rat]

Oh wow, I even brought up this possibility in a thread earlier. Had court dates in two different counties today, no jail time in either, and now we traded for a player I've been wanting... good day for me!

This is a fantastic trade! Howell has an NFL arm and abilities; took a lot of hits last year, but I've been saying for a while that I think he's legit!

 

[King Dog]

I wish JS would have left with Pete

There's your sign on what they think about taking a QB at 16.

Unless they take a guy at 16 anyway and are just suddenly horny to waste picks.

 

[DarkVictory23]

I'm... not sure what I'm looking at here.

I would assume we are not going to draft a QB now (which I would have preferred to this) and we are almost certainly trading back from #16 at this point to recoup some picks.

 

[Double Tribble]

WTF

 

[SonicHawk]

Giving up a third... ugh.

 

[HOF Hater]

Well..... This was unexpected

 

[SoulfishHawk]

So they get Howell a 4th and a 6th, and give up a 3rd (one of their 3rd's was from Denver anyway)

Meh, I don't hate it or like it. I'll just enjoy the freaking out
The Bad, The Good and the Strange. Yep, it's Free Agency time..........

 

[xray]

Excuse me...who the phuk is Sam Howell ? Is he the great grandson of Thurston Howell from Gilligan's Island perchance ?

We gave up a 5th as well.

EDIT: I'll say this... at least we aren't losing picks. We gave up positioning for Howell, vs. losing total overall picks. Hopefully Grubb sees something in this guy that he thinks he can prep him to be the future for our team, but I still don't know, man...

 

[BASF]

Has a pretty live arm. Needs seasoning. I hate losing a third in the deal. I'd be amazed if we don't trade back a few times now to recoup picks.

 

[Seahawkwalt1967]

Well at least attack the OL after a small trade down at 16.
