Vin+ 3,121 Posted October 30, 2018 Quote Redskins acquired S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix from the Packers in exchange for a 2019 fourth-round pick. It's not surprising in that the Packers had telegraphed they would not be extending Clinton-Dix, but it is surprising because he's been an every-snap player this season. Jermaine Whitehead, who just got roasted by Todd Gurley in Week 8, is the next man up for the Pack. With Montae Nicholson struggling mightily opposite D.J. Swearinger in Washington, Clinton-Dix will immediately slide in as a starter. The No. 21 overall pick of the 2014 draft is a free agent at season's end.

The Jets and Packers were also reportedly interest, which explains the steep price. The odd man out of the Jags' defensive end rotation, Fowler will provide instant help for Wade Phillips' defense in Los Angeles. The No. 3 overall pick of the 2015 draft has made just one career start, but that could quickly change. Fowler registered two sacks on 165 snaps in Jacksonville this season. It's a nice addition for L.A., but there is no guarantee it's a truly impact one. Fowler will be a free agent at season's end.

The sometimes receiver has one of the league's most versatile skill-sets for a running back but was seeing limited work in the Packers' backfield, touching the ball just 41 times in seven contests. Montgomery had a few monster games over the past three years in Green Bay but also had trouble staying healthy. He will add a new element to a Ravens backfield that has traditionally had a receiving threat but not this season. TyMont is a massive upgrade on Buck Allen. The move comes just two days after a Montgomery special teams fumble cost the Packers dearly in Los Angeles. It also clears the deck for Aaron Jones in Green Bay.

Although now 30, Tate remains one of the league's best after-the-catch receivers and is a perfect fit for what the Eagles want to do on offense. He also addresses a drastic need for the defending Super Bowl champions. The Eagles will no longer have to run Jordan Matthews out there for 30 snaps per game. It is interesting that each of Tate, Nelson Agholor and Matthews are best utilized in the slot, though Tate is capable of playing outside if need be. Tate's arrival is unequivocally bad news for Agholor, who has had a poor season since Carson Wentz's return. As for the Lions, T.J. Jones will now slide into three-receiver sets alongside Marvin Jones and Kenny Golladay. #GolladaySZN is back on. Tate will be a free agent at season's end. Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter Quote Texans acquired WR Demaryius Thomas from the Broncos in exchange for a fourth-round pick. The teams are also swapping seventh-rounders. That's not bad compensation for a 30-year-old in what's essentially a contract year. Thomas has been in steady decline since the Broncos' Super Bowl 2015 season, but he remains durable and reasonably effective. He will certainly be an upgrade for the Texans in three-receiver sets after they lost Will Fuller (knee) for the season. Thomas will also have a much improved quarterback situation. He should be a more bankable WR3 than he was with Case Keenum. His arrival puts a dent in Keke Coutee's WR3 outlook. Courtland Sutton, meanwhile, could flirt with WR2 value in Denver. Amazingly, the Texans are traveling to Denver for Week 9. Source: Mike Klis on Twitter Pretty good haul for Fowler, also kinda interesting that most all of these traded players are FAs at the end of the season.

Packers Dynasty 2010 116 Posted October 30, 2018 The Packers are fucking stupid to trade Ha Ha for a measly 4th round pick. Look at who Green Bay has at safety now; Kentrell Brice and Jermaine Whitehead will be our starting safeties with Josh Jones and Raven Greene being the backups. Maybe Tramon Williams moves back there too. Still a horrible group and our need for a safety becomes critical along with a passrusher. Ha Ha may have left in FA anyways but to only get a 4th is stupid. He could fetch that as a comp pick, so unless Gutekunst is planning on being aggressive in FA it doesn't make much sense to trade him for that. If Green Bay wanted to trade him that bad, at least get a passrusher. Do a Ha Ha for Fowler trade or something. Instead we just made the defense worse. My only hope now is that the Pack miss the playoffs and McCarthy is gone. Then Gute can use the shitload of picks and cap space to give Rodgers enough talent to make a run for a few years.

Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted October 31, 2018 Everyone knew we weren't bringing HaHa back on an extension... And yes, we could've probably gotten a 3rd round pick for him as compensatory selection but in 2020. For whatever reason, Gute was okay sliding back to the 4th in order to have that pick this year. Ty is super talented, and I think we misused him from Day 1. Thought he would have been an EXCELLENT slot WR and was more than capable at RB... Mike McCarthy just doesn't know how to utilize and get players involved. Jamaal Williams is a straight up trash tier RB (as a runner), yet he would still have more of a role than a much more versatile Ty and a MUCH MUCH MUCH better runner in Aaron Jones up until just last week. Mike is and had been in over his head. I don't condone tanking... But this team NEEDS to ditch McCarthy. Idk what happens.. we may just get worse, depending on who Gute targets and hires... but I know what we are doing now isn't working. I know we aren't winning shit with Mike unless we get reallllly lucky and we can rely on luck with just about any coach. It's worth the gamble of potentially getting worse, IMO.

RazorStar 4,025 Posted October 31, 2018 Pretty happy that we got something out of Demaryius. He's been good for us, but he's clearly lost a step as he's gotten older, and his mental game isn't going to carry him past that. Props to one of the 5 best receivers in Broncos history, and I hope he works out in Houston. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
