Trade bait?

Maybe a little hyperbole. But Averett has markedly more value than Kenny Young and a 4th is sweeter than a 5th. WNC has a point, too - Peters is a helluva player. At a key position.

Yeah but…. Quentin Nelson is a top 5 player at any position. Peter’s was a malcontent top 25-50 ish CB when we traded for him.

It’s also sort of like using the Laremy Tunsil and or DeAndre Hopkins deals as useful data points.

I used Nelson as an, admittedly extreme, example to suggest how high the bar would have to be for me to trade Averett. I am not interested in trading Averett unless we can get a guy who can help us more in 2021 and beyond, than Averett probably could. Not gonna happen.

Playing armchair psychiatrist, I can't see the Ravens trading away a young CB they think can play.

Bad CB play led to one of the most embarrassing losses in franchise history: the SNF game against the Colts. That game helped get their head coach fired.

Bad CB play led to two blown 14 point leads in the AFC Divisional Round playoff loss to the Patriots. The last-best opportunity of the Flacco era, squandered.

Armchair psychiatrist tells me that this organization is psychologically scarred by those losses and their aftermaths.


That aside, it's still early. Teams still don't know what they have...except optimism...the optimistic hope that one of their rookies busts out. Until reality pricks that fantasy, I doubt anything happens.

If nobody can talk about anyone but Averett, this thread should die.

One of those ugly, painful deaths.

Hey, we gonna get a 7th for Bredekin, or Boydeson?

I would rather just hold on to a player that could be a savior if someone goes down than get a late round flyer pick, especially with the way the OL went last year
