Funny thing happened on the way to a new franchise quarterback.
A new GML owner posted he was open to dealing out of pick 1.2...the usual deal, new guy, feels he has lots of team needs, might value a lot of good picks over one big one. I send an offer, basically a 1222 for the 1.2. He responds wanting my 1221 for the pick.
Had I been around, I would have accepted the trade, and been typing now about our new rookie QB. He doesn't look like a lock solid sure thing to me, but he looks like he will be substantially better than what I have in hand, and my current guy is likely to cost us $40m or more by next season.
Anyway...he withdrew the counter offer, and used the pick himself, on the QB.
So it goes. That's two times we have flirted behind Irving's back, an come away blue balled. Hope he's not the thin skinned type.
