Chiefs Let's Take A Vote: The Trade Deadline Approaches

CaliforniaChief · 10-28-2013, 04:47 PM

We're less than 24 hours away from the trade deadline in the NFL. Props to the league for pushing the deadline back, adding more teams to the mix that are either giving up or making a push. These probably aren't realistic, but I'll put options out there. I'm not saying these are viable, just what's thrown out there. And I'm not putting Jordan Cameron on here. You choose which option you prefer:

Poll Forthcoming.

-Blackmon for a 1st.
-Blackmon for a 3rd and a 2015 conditional pick.
-Gordon for a 1st.
-Gordon for a 3rd and a 2015 conditional pick.
-Gonzalez for a 5th or later.
-Fred Davis for a 6th.
-Other
-Don't do anything. Let our coaches develop the guys we have and go with the guys that got us here.
-Gaz for a Lifetime Mod Membership on the Mange.

You're not going to find a guy with his talent in the 20's of the 2014 draft, and you don't have to wait on the learning process.

Gordon is ready to roll.

Hell, it's not like he didn't put on a hell of a tryout for us Sunday or anything.

That crossing route? That's the kind of big play/YAC ability this offense needs since we don't stretch the field. A shallow cross that turns into a 47 yard gain.

He's a perfect fit.

Coach · 10-28-2013, 04:55 PM

The only thing that concerns me about Gordon is his off the field issues. Isn't he one strike away from a year long suspension?

Also, he is on his last year on his contract, correct?

I don't know if I really want to give up a first round just for Gordon, considering he'd be only a 8+ game rental, and he could bolt for FA, although, I am aware of the franchise tag, so there's that.

If Cleveland will give us a 2nd and some lower pick in return, I might consider it.

I guess, just for me, it would not be wise to abort the first round and 2nd round pick in the same year.

**OnTheWarpath15** · 10-28-2013, 04:57 PM

Funny, no one seemed to be concerned about Jared Allen's off the field issues.

And Gordon is only in his 2nd year in the league - should be wrapped up for at least another 2 years.

Pasta Little Brioni · 10-28-2013, 04:57 PM

Gordon or Blackmon for a 1st and I splooge. Virtual no chance of matching that value with the pick anyway.

CaliforniaChief · 10-28-2013, 04:57 PM

From what I've seen, Gordon's signed through 2015. Not to say he won't hold out. And not to say he won't bitch out. But if he balls out, we'll probably be glad to deal with it.

I still like the idea of Gonzalez at a cheap pick, but am starting to warm to the idea of Gordon too. He was impressive yesterday.

Hoover · 10-28-2013, 04:57 PM

We know Alex can get the ball to a TE, so my vote is TG. AND he would be a leader on offense.

Ah, a 2 year rental then? Then that makes it a little better for me to consider giving up a 1st. I still would like a draft pick in return to get as much picks as we can to build some depth.

But I understand JA's off the field issues too, but he has been, for the most part, a model citizen recently, since his last incident.

Mother****erJones · 10-28-2013, 05:10 PM

Gordon for a conditional first. For the first time we'd have a complement to Bowe

**Buck** · 10-28-2013, 05:12 PM

As an outsider, either of the first two trades would be completely laughable, with the laughing at directed towards the Chiefs.

Rasputin · 10-28-2013, 05:14 PM

Don't give up any picks for anyone.

**OnTheWarpath15** · 10-28-2013, 05:16 PM

Wow, this fanbase is dumber than I thought.

Sure, let's trade for a 37 year old TE who has lost a step or four, and has put up less than 40 yards in 5/7 games this season with MUCH better QB play.

**Buck** · 10-28-2013, 05:17 PM

I think trading a 6th for a one year guy to try and help you win a Super Bowl now is smarter than trading a first or two picks for a locker room cancer.

You don't see how bad we need a WR with great speed and separation. We could get by with Fasano and beard if we got Gordon

How does an old, slow TE help this team?

They need a speedy outside threat with YAC ability. Someone who can get chunks of yards.

And who is the locker room cancer?
