Man I like your thinking

How does a reporter get such detailed specifics on a trade offer that should be private information between the two teams? I don't like that trade from the Jets perspective. They should grow that team from the bottom up with all the assets they have instead of trying to contend immediately, assuming one of those 1st rounders in the trade is this years #2 overall. That #2 should be their FQB, unless they aren't hot about any of this year's QBs in the draft.

As a 49er fan, SEA getting that #2 and selecting a high end QB prospect is a bit scary to think about.

All depends on how good their new OC is.

I would agree that moves makes little sense for the Jets. By the time they are really ready to compete Russ is 35.

This means the exact opposite of what you think it does.

You sure about that?

I believe the saying is a grain of salt meaning that if you add more salt then that means you take it more seriously .

The grain of salt thing basically means that if you add a little salt to something unpalatable it is easier to swallow. Therefore adding no salt means is is just fine like it is. Needing a mountain of salt is a hyperbolic way of saying there isn't enough salt in the world to make it palatable.

Thanks Boast. I did appreciate the certainty with which it was expressed though.

Yeah I don't believe sileo for a second...just funny to throw out his tweets.

yeah if he's gonna go anywhere I want it to be to a team that's picking behind us. Raiders would be perfect.

Wilson > #2, future 1st rounder, future 1st rounder
Some basic math:
Your original inequality,
Wilson > #2 + future 1st + future 1st
(subtract future 1st from both sides)

Wilson - future 1st > #2 + future 1st
(subtract future 1st from both sides)

Wilson - future 1st - future 1st > #2
(reverse the sign)

#2 < Wilson - future 1st - future 1st
(divide each side by #2)

1 < (Wilson - future 1st - future 1st) / #2
Yup, you're right.

spot on

Probably Midget's agent releasing Fake News to push up the Midget's stock value for the SEadderal Front office negotiations. Seadderall doesn't have a first round pick in this draft, so that potential first rounder is what they would normally get (albeit higher than the usual place due to making the playoffs) but without Wilson, that team is considerably weaker even if they get that number 1 pick.
