Best interior lineman in the league

[JMO]

I'm coming to that time where I either have to pay Giles or let him go.

If you want him, I can franchise him. If there is no interest I'll use my tag elsewhere and sign him long term.

[Matt]

it's week 10!?!?!?

[JMO]

it's week 10!?!?!?

yea im looking ahead..this deal would go through before the draft. if there is no interest before say week 14..then ill sign him long term.

[Matt]

the trading deadline has passed though.

the trading deadline has passed though.

That's what I'm trying to figure out. How ya gonna make a deal weeks after the trading deadline?

The deal would go through after the season ends. Basically it would work like this. GM A sends me a pm, saying I want Giles, franchise him and I'll give u a pick for him. If the pick is good enough I'll franchise him and trade him when the season ends. If the offer is not good enough or there is no interest I will prob give him a long term deal and use the franchise tag on an older guy who i want one more year out of.

no one is going to make a deal for a guy now that they can't use until next season.

If I offered you Caro for your upcoming first rounder, would you say yes?

He will not play for you this year, but you will get him before the draft.

Don't forget about injuries....

Don't forget about injuries....

I can make it conditional. For example, it could look something like this.

Caro to Newark for their first. Deal to be null and void if Caro is carrying an injury that the Newark GM deems serious enough to cancel trade.

I would be quite happy to make this kind of deal the other way. Just put a date for when the trade is to be made at, and put in an injury clause.

Newark is getting Caro? Burger is going to be pissed. Of course, Burger did suck against Lawrence.

No they are not. For two reasons.

1 I won't trade him.
2 No gm would make a deal for a player they are not getting right now, according to Matt.

[Matt]

i would not trade for Caro right now.


and Burger did Suck against Lawrence.

[JMO]

This is the most illogical thing I have read in at least half an hour(i read too many things on the internet


I'll tell you what. I'll offer you my pick next draft for Marlon Gilette. I won't even get to play him this year. I'm seriously ripping myself off in this deal. All I ask is that i get the opportunity to void the deal if he gets injured.

Wow, I am really giving you a deal of your lifetime here. You get my pick and 6 more games!

post it and ill confirm.

i would not trade for Caro right now.

I think I get what JMO's saying. It would require a "handshake deal" from the time JMO franchises Giles until first trade export of the off-season when an official post would/could be made.

This isn't much different than Jave & I's Wade Boyd/#2-5 draft slot trade which we were discussing well before last season ended - though the franchise tag wasn't necessary for our deal and thus no one GM went out on a limb.
