I never wanted Sweat- I wanted to offer two firsts for Crosby or to trade for Rasul Douglas with the Vikes 3rd, and got back a 5th or 6th like Buffalo did. I would have taken back a 7th even
Decker doesn’t have a 3M year, it’s just a cap hit voided year, next year is his last.
I’d love to draft 2 OL in the first 3 rounds for that and other reasons. By doing so we minimize our odds to land a top DT, CB and Edge
Getting a 2 year starter in his prime at CB cheap via trade, signing a top DT or Edge in FA, and drafting edge or DT in round one would have been ideal. Then drafting OT and OG in rounds 2-3.
You don’t know of the lions were offered that deal. Your don’t know if gb was willing to trade him in division. You don’t how they valued potential lions picks vs potential buff picks. You don’t know if he agent told the lions he wasn’t interested. You don’t know if he’s a fit on this team (again not madden so not everyone fits everywhere). Your entire argument is if we offered the same we’d get him. But that again is madden logic. Nfl doesn’t work that way. Juat because you think a guy fits doesn’t mean Campbell does.
Furthemore he is not a legit #1 corner. He’s a journey man. He seems to have found a home. Close to his family.
Also, in the not madden vein, a fit in buff Def does not equal will excel everywhere.
