Ok, gentlemen, the discussion is now open, topic; Why?

Because I don't over-value our own players and he is an aging player at a skill position who is wanting to get paid.
I love TMac...he is awesome. Would hate to lose him.

But...that deal would set us up for years to come. Two 1st round picks next year...wow

Peters would go nuts with that. Also, I watched the Patriots for years sell a player at their peak right as they were about to decline. I got sick of NE winning the SB and having a thousand picks in the draft. Lets try it for once.

I would have to pass. TM has played better than a typical first round pick and there are no alternatives in FA for next year that come close to replacing TM. The Steelers would be picking around 20 so the likelihood of a first round WR coming straight in are extremely remote. A successful first at 20 would likely not be close to TM until year 2. That would be pushing the peak window for JD back to 2027 and essentially the last year of his rookie contract.

We need to start playing for now…and the future. We need to stop wasting draft capital on aging players and start paying free agents that actually deserve the pay to come here or stay here.

This is probably the first time I'm stumped.
I think Terry is going the continue to play at a high level as this team's WR1, further if someone is brought in where he is no longer the focal point, i think he will be dominate for 3 years straight. Also as a fan it sends a message to me that once you reach a certain age...despite production, you have no job security in DC.
On the other hand, the front office has hardly any ties to the roster and HAS to do whats best for the team. It appears QB is set and now is the time to maximize.
I don't want to see this move made, but if it happened i wouldn't lose any love
