For a 2 and a 5. Again, where were we?

He is under contract for the rest of the year and wants big money next year. They still have to make a decision on Lamar next year.

GK's point is, several players have been moved for reasonable compensation. If RR really thinks his team has any shot at the playoff's, why have we not made a move to improve any part of this team? The LB core and secondary could have used an upgrade. I know they like their TE's but none of them are healthy or good enough (Bates) to make any kind of impact needed and or our OLine could have used an upgraded piece.

Im curious to see the offers for Payne.

Will be another mistake by this regime of not trading Payne. You will have to pay him or tag him next year which is dumb when you had the opportunity to get value in return now. If Ron & staff are retained another year it will likely end up in a comp pick for Payne which would be another failed move by this regime. We are no better than the teams tanking (BEARS) imo.

i agree but maybe they are not getting any good offers for him. They have to take a 2nd round pick IMO. Maybe they are getting low ball offers. The Bears actually gave up a 2nd for Claypool

I saw that and while Claypool is a nice WR, Payne is a DT Killer! No way am I giving up a 2nd for Claypool when Payne is only worth a 2nd and is the better player at his position.

IF we turn down a 2nd I would be pissed.

All RR cares about right this moment is weakening his defense by losing Payne. He is not thinking long term because well, quite frankly he has done so poorly while here there really is no long term. When you have someone as incompetent as RR running all things personnel, you will have to accept the bad business side of him and deal with the repercussions next year.
