Thread: DT AND a 7th rounder for a 4th round

No emo. Can’t be. Bay Bay understands it. Few if any players go out on their own terms. I’m glad he’s getting paid.

Oh. And he beat the ******* Steelers.

Round 1: Own selection
Round 2: Own selection
Round 3: Own selection
Round 4: Own selection
Round 4: Texans selection (Traded DT to Houston)
Round 5: Own selection
Round 5: Vikings selection (Traded Siemian to Minnesota)
Round 6: Own selection
Round 7: Own Selection
Round 7: Texans selection?? (Traded DT to Houston)

He’s gonna come back in a couple years with his name on the stadium and a shiny SB50 ring and all will be well.

This trade worked out well for both teams. Houston gets another piece to help make a playoff run and we get a pick for a player whose days were likely numbered here anyway. Going to be very strange seeing him play against us right off the bat though.

I think DT will not be playing this Sunday against Broncos. He has so much to learn Texans' playbook, etc.

Bill obrien runs the same pats system that DT played in under MCD. I think he'll be able to pick it up well enough to play at least a little.

We are 3-5 and looking like a good bet for a second consecutive losing season. DT is nearly 31 and not getting any younger. When we can finally get a franchise type QB, DT will be close to retirement. As painful as it is, we needed to get value out of DT while we could.

I completely agree and understand what you are saying but this feels like a huge indictment of our FO and coaching. We could have gotten more for him last year, so if we were just going to resign ourselves to the same ******* stupid coaching staff and the same shitty QB mentality, we should have stockpiled picks and did the fire sale thing a while ago.

DT had four teams pining for him.

Dez is at home tweeting.

Warms my heart.

I felt there was more value reworking his contract to stayandretire a bronco and show loyality. Behind Sutton all the rookies are unknown and have not impressed much outside of 2 catches from Patrick.

I feel coaching change would have been a better thing for this team now and long term. Rather then jetting the longest tenured bronco and locker room fav.

Elway sucks at drafting offense so Sutton is the only WR out of about 10 to be worth a damn. I doubt he hit a homerun with 2 WR in 1 draft class. We could be back to square one complain g we need a #3 again.

Close your eyes and imagine.

Texans cut him after this season

He comes back on a team friendly deal.

And we get the draft picks.

Open your eyes. And kiss me.

Which one of the white TEs with a season ending injury can we get in the 4th? I’m excited.

Feels like we have a long way to go just to get back to square 1.

We are rebuilding anyway, square 1 was coming whether it is now or after the season.
