[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 843885, member: 7261"] I guess I understand just how good he is. But, now I see what you meant by "contract situation be damned". However, I do think that contracts would be a [B][U]huge[/U][/B] factor in it and at the end of the day, the trade picks might be closer to being equal with the Jags probably getting a more for Ramsey. Think about it, Ramsey is not only going to be $16M/year, he is going to want a lot of that guaranteed. Right now, Fitz is stuck on a rookie deal, that the Steelers are only on the hook for: 2019: $1.07 M (prorated share of 2019) 2020: $1.975M 2021: $2.7M 2022: 5th year option That is almost $43M over 3 years that Ramsey will cost you over Fitz. I would actually have to agree with posters that are saying that for the money, Fitz would have been the better way to go, especially when you consider the Packers secondary is already pretty good. I still go back to the analogy of throwing lobster on top of filet mignon and then not having enough money to pay the tip or cab fare. I understand everyone's hunger to have one of the best players at his position, but I wouldn't understand doing that at the cost of bettering the team at other positions via the draft and/or cap dollars.
