[quote=nonniey;1350638]OK that is reaching for a story/link by Finlay. I guess he was a sooth sayer in a past life (I saw a seagull with a snake in its mouth that means Troy will win a great victory tomorrow).[/quote]

He tweeted it, he is the local reporter who has contacts in the organisation, key point being the Brisset to Cleveland thing is not just an internet fantasy. Also multiple teams interested in Sweat means price gets pushed up. As fot the rest, just an ad lib joke. Of course team sources could be making it up to encourage other bidders to get involved

I like JP and he's a very good source with connections with the team. I always look to Keim to validate any rumor, since he's been doing this much longer and is the most objective reporter in the local beat:

Re: Trade deadline approaching...
 

Per schefter:

Trade: Commanders and Bears have agreed to a trade that is expected to send DE Montez Sweat to the Chicago for a 2024 second-round pick, per sources. Sweat is in the last year of his contract, and the Commanders are opting for a draft pick now. Chicago beefs up its line.

Re: Trade deadline approaching...
 

Should be a high second rounder too, no mention of new deal though

Re: Trade deadline approaching...
 

If the season ended today, it would be the 35th overall pick.

Interesting tweet by Keim:

Also: can still see a move for Chase Young as well. But there has to be value in return. Know some teams had medical concerns or at least asked questions about the knee. Will that block a move? Deadline in less than four hours.

If Young is traded, then the new FO will have enough picks to go up for a QB. Sweat and Young are likely the only two players that have any significant trade value.

Allen would too but I don't see them moving him..

Also I don't see them drafting a QB early. Way too many other needs

You mean they will have enough picks to help improve this offensive line for Sam, BRob, and Chris R. :)

Anything is possible with a new FO and coach, and them drafting a QB is not out of the question.

Definitely not out of the question. Everything is on the table, I just don't think it is the best course of action, personally.

This is true, if they love Maye or Williams

Re: Trade deadline approaching...
 

The funny thing is, after losing 5 out of the last 6 games, this team is only one game out of the Wildcard. Perfectly set up for one of Ron's signature late season runs to almost make the playoffs.
