A Scenario So Crazy It Just Might Work: Mike Wallace Edition

[C-Mob 71]

Way back when Wallace was tendered I was willing to do a deal with him for our first round pick (the #2 overall btw) so I'm sure you can imagine how I would feel about giving them #33 overall in a trade. The key hear is since Wallace isn't signing the tender, and no one has offered him/them a better deal, they would be willing to part with him for less than a first, and it doesn't get much closer to the first round than #33(ie more attractive than anything else offered to them).

I would absolutely still draft Blackmon at #6 if he was available (which would most likely mean TRich and Claiborne are gone).

Blackmon, Wallace, Danny, Salas, Steve Smith, Kendricks, S JAX, Bradford... I think that's GSOT 2.0 gentlemen.

Geez I wish real life was more like Madden...

I love Wallace and i been barking up this tree for a long time to trade for him.But the big difference in my theory is that i would get Wallace and also draft Blackmon at #6 if hes there.In this league u need more than 1 good WR and whats wrong with having 2??Blackmon and wallace we would be set for years at WR they would easily be out 1/2 and if blackmon pans out as expected we would have a nice duo right there.Give Sam his own version of Marvin/Reggie,look what Manning did with 2 good WR's,i like the outcome as i think every does lol.10 mil a year is a little steep but like said above if we really were prepared to pay Garcon 8 mill a year i think we have to find a way to make 10 mill work if thats the case.Whether it is or not remains to be seen but if so i think it makes sense to pull the trigger on Wallace,he is a proven commodity no risk that he wont work he already showed he can play at the NFL level and produce great numbers at that.Just my .02 cents though

Dont get me wrong im 100% down with drafting Blackmon along w Wallace.

Question is, where do we find the cap space AND still field an entire offensive line?

[general counsel]

Berg, i guess the answer in theory to your question (which is a great one) is the following:

Jason Smith stays, takes a pay cut, stays healthy, and has a strong year at offensive tackle.

We draft a guard at pick #39 and hope for the best in terms of rookie performance.

Another alternative would be for us to draft a tackle at 39 (mike adams?) and have smith move to guard at a reduced salary cap number.

I will say this. If we dont dramatically improve our offensive line play it wont matter if sammy has bruce and holt to throw to.

ramming speed to all
