liquidfriend 1,151 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 It's easy to figure this one out. The Jags want ransom and nobody will pay it. DefensiveMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This hurts the jags too. People in the afc will be at ease so to speak: now pay Chris Jones and wait for the right corner. DefensiveMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holding the Texans offense to 13 points is pretty compelling. Keeping two straight opponents under 14 is always a very tough thing to do. And then you consider the Chiefs scored on 7 straight possessions against this same D! Get us healthy, I think we can handle the role of favorites. For now figure it out enough to not lose our spot at the top of the AFC West the next month. Lamardirts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think that first game really shows how special this O can be. Weather the storm until we can get Hill and Fisher back. Mloe68 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhitter 1,424 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Regarding Patrick Peterson...everything I have read says the Cardinals have zero interest in trading him. Now I'm not a math wizard, but zero seems to be a relatively low number. And yet I keep seeing people say things like "Veach needs to get Peterson". Did I mention the number zero? I have a good friend who is a die hard Cardinals fan. He says it's not a ploy. Cardinals emphatically do not want to trade PP. He did say that if some team came calling with a ridiculous offer of draft picks then maybe. I guess we should hope Veach does that.😮 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Now that AB is out, I see no reason to rush anything. Be patient, see what happens over the next few weeks up until the trade deadline as much can change. I think we can hang with anyone as is so no need to sacrifice draft picks for Ramsey now. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make the final decision but not every player wants to remain in a rebuilding team that won't be a contender for anything for a while. They have to build a strong line and fix quite a bit of holes to actually make a push which probably doesn't give Peterson enough time if he wants a ring.

That's just simply not true. There are almost 1700 active NFL players every year and thousands of guys cycle through the NFL every few years. The reality is, yes there are guys like that but most NFL players keep their head down and focus on the games. Most are also very active in charity work and the community, and are I'm sure nice enough guys. The reality is a small subset of players fit your description, but since that's the players we're paying attention to (by design), I can see why you'd think that. cpete918 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone seen any tweets or other evidence that Peterson wants out of Arizona since before they fired their head coach and hired Kingsbury? Another long held belief...that Peterson desperately wants out of Arizona is way overblown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However being on a winning team generally gives them a little more shelf life and guys at a high level get paid regardless of where they are. Some lose a little money in contracts if they want to play for a contender but generally make it up and more through endorsements and possible post-retirement careers.

I’d agree in retrospect that any such move would indeed come with a plan to tag and trade CJ after the season. It’s a tough call to me if all of this was reality. But the Jags could easily want even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
