    A similar bad season you mean. Thing is one has been in league 2.5 years and one .5 years so there may (keyword may) be hope for the latter.

    Trading Joe Montana to the KC Chiefs........... then doing the same to Marcus Allen. Also Al traded Phil Villapiano to the Buffalo Bills when Phil suggested Al should acquire TE Chandler from the Bills. Al Davis was a self centered ass who looked like a LA hairdresser.

    I agree. New Orleans got jobbed. They're stuck with a guy who will give them short term success, but will be an albatross around their necks for years to come.

    You may have actually hit on something here. The Pau/Kwame trade looked like one of the worst trades of all time to me when it went down--obviously it did to a lot of other people too. But, now it doesn't look so bad, right? The unheralded piece of that trade that nobody talked about at the time was Marc Gasol.

    Maybe (maybe) Hield is the Marc Gasol of this trade. Maybe Boogie ends up choking the pelicans. Who knows.

    The NFL may have generated a new contender for this title:



    The fact that anyone would take that albatross contract off the Texans' hands gives me renewed hope for Olshey's ability to potentially move Crabbe this summer.

    I believe the signing bonus money is dead money on the Texans cap still? The browns could cut him and. It eat too much?

    NFL salary cap is frigging confusing

    I don't think that there is any doubt Crabbe could be moved. But a 2nd round pick is high in the NFL. That is like sending at least MEM's pick (if not our own) to get rid of Crabbe. I not even sure POR wants to move Crabbe and probably certainly not if it takes a pick just to have him leave. Realistically they have to (or Leonard) financially though

    CLE is on the hook for his 16 MIL number this season (even if they release him) but that is it. Next year's salary was un-guaranteed.

    They also get a QB better than anyone on their current roster.

    If that's all they wanted, we should trade them Pat Connaughton.

    Get on it, Neil!!

    Crabbe is damn good. Do you see his percentages ? He's like top 5 in 3 point shooting. I think Crabbe is underrated

    First, I don't like this sort of thing because most people are way too results oriented. Regardless, I throw a few things out there:

    McHale/Parrish trade
    Seattle Supersonics trade Scottie Pippen to Bulls for Olden Polynice in 1987

    Damn, both of my worst trades is in a bleacherreport article, how embarrassing:
