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.

If you are the Chiefs, you do whatever you have to, to get Gordon.

Hes paid as a second rounder for three more years.

You wont find a player anywhere near his caliber at pick 25+

Great post.

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.

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.

3 years. He signed a five year deal. And also, with his place in the drug treatment program, as stage three, he will never get a max contract.

Making him doubly enticing.

Also, to the poster above.

I get it. He could get busted for a year.

He also could blow out his knee and be lost for the year. As could any player.

The only positive to losing him to a suspension, over an injury. He comes off your cap as a suspended player.

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.

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

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

Rasputin · 10-28-2013, 05:14 PM

Don't give up any picks for anyone.

**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.

**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.

In no way I am advocating for Tony G. However, one has to consider the fact that Alice Smiff accuracy of passes thrown in the middle of the field is better than outside of the numbers. Other than a barely lucky throw to Midget Mc****ster, his deep passes has been out right terrible.

Whereas he's better at either throwing at the swing play and/or in the middle of the field.

Now if Gordon is willing to go through the middle of the field, then fine with me, I'm all for it. Would be nice if Dwayne Bowe would un**** his head out of his ass and start playing like a actual receiver.....
