WinningIsTheOnlyOption 216 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 As a life long Falcons fan going back all the way to watching White shoes and Bartkowski and many other immortal names in Falcons history, I would honestly stop watching them altogether if they were to get rid of Calvin Ridley in any way. That would just signal to me that they aren't serious about winning. You don't get rid of a strength for your team if you are smart unless you can improve in that same area because you are creating a loss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Every year, the next years draft looks deep . Get the beat available player in FA instead of first round pick in 2021. Jamal Adams can change the backend of defense.

Fittske 20 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Ridley eats because of Julio, when Julio retires (Insert Future#1 draft pick receiver here) will eat because of Ridley. WhenFalconsWin 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Knight of God 53,840 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 As much as I want a safety. No. Ridley is a good receiver. #1 level skills and speed. No WhenFalconsWin, Mister pudding, hjerry and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just didn’t know if people were arguing that they would take Ridley over Adams in a hypothetical world. It depends. Adams is definately the better player right now. That said if you make the trade, you have to find $15M a season to pay him. Plus you already have Neal as SS. meanwhile if you trade Ridley your WR corps is Julio, OZ, Treadwell and Blake. Not too appealing. If it was pre draft I could be for it, because we could have just taken CeeDee Lamb in retrospect. with the roster now, you have a huge hole at WR, and you have two top SS, with one on the bench. And I’m not entertaining moving Neal to LB. so not too hard to fathom not supporting trading Ridley for Adams, especially if some are saying add in a high pick too.

We should trade Ridley and some #1s to trade up in the draft or We should trade Ridley for Yannick Ngakoue or Jamal Adams. Nevermind that he is still cheap on his rookie contract. Never mind that he is the best first round pick we've hit on in a long time. Never mind that he led the Falcons in receiving TD the past 2 years. Never mind that if this was even a thought we would've drafted Cee Dee Lamb. Never mind our 2nd receiver would be Gage or heaven forbid Treadwell. Guys, I want Adams or Yannick on our team just like the rest of you, but please STOP floating this nonsensical, idiotic idea. Good Lord, it's ideas like this that make Dimi even look good comparatively. To be fair, I do not think the suggestion to trade Ridley is because people do not like him. It is because he is maybe our only valuable tradable player. FalconsIn2012 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WhenFalconsWin 27,667 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Yeah, because everyone knows Treadwell is going to step right in and fill those shoes. Heck, Treadwell can't even sniff Gage's jock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sure in his 4th or 5th year of his rookie contract if we're not planning on resigning him for one reason or another. Certainly not after 2 very productive seasons with 3 years of eligibility left.
