How many Premium Free Agents are out there? How many actually live up to even 50% of their contract? Hardly any.

How many Premium Trade's are out there? Also, when trading there is leverage at play here. If a team KNOWS we are short on a position, they are going to try to bend us over the barrel and be greedy. Right? That's negotiating. It is not as simply as Draft Pick X for Player Y. And I know you know this, but what you're griping about implies you are missing the variables upon variables that go into a trade. Does the player fit the scheme? There is just so much involved and even when a trade does happen, rarely does it benefit the recipient of the player.

He took a lot of the D-backs attention away from other WRs, opening them up to make plays.
Someone will have to step up big, or our offense will just keep spinning its wheels.

I mean, for every Ware or Peppers or Woodson, there is a plethora of these chumps lol

Derek Newton, OT, Texans ($5M/Year)
Byron Maxwell, CB, Eagles ($10.5M/year)
Curtis Lofton, LB, Raiders ($6M/year)
Orlando Franklin, G, Chargers ($7M/year)
Dwayne Bow, WR, Browns ($6.5M/Year with $9 million guaranteed)

Vernon Davis
2014: started 14 games, 26 receptions, 245 yards and 2 TD's
2015: started 5 games, 18 receptions, 194 yards and 0 TD

Richard Rodgers
2014: started 5 games, 20 receptions, 225 yards and 2 TD's (rookie season)
2015: started 7 games, 23 receptions, 205 yards and 2 TD's

Andrew Quarless
2014: started 11 games, 29 receptions, 323 yards and 3 TD's


Trading for Vernon Davis would have been a mistake for the Packers and it probably will not be that great of a move for the Broncos. Then again, Julius Thomas lit it up with Peyton Manning and hasn't done much since.

Of course there is, but that's not the point. The point is that certain players can really help a team under the right circumstances. They certainly can't help if they don't even get a chance. I wanted Ware to sign with the Packers when he was available. I thought it was a risk, but realized it could very likely be worth it. Denver is certainly glad they did. I don't think they'll regret signing Davis either.
