We will most likely end up with something.

Week 4 against Miami is looking very interesting now

Why now? I'm down with trading him but figured they would try and get a player that can help us now even if it is just a backup or developmental player. It's not like Anthony's stock was going to rise or fall during the span of the season. He kind of just is who he is.

Anthony wasn't the failure, the Saints were. Wasn't his fault they didn't know how to use him or coach him up. Maybe he'll have better luck in Miami.

Before this season, I would've agreed with you but look at all the Linebackers we've brought onto the squad and passed him. Robertson, Stupar, Klein, Te'o, Anzalone all have less time with the team but are ahead of him on the depth chart.

Now you blame him for getting injured. Why don't you blame Strief, Armstead or Breaux while you at it.

Nope, but I don't believe his ankle injury is why he's fallen behind just about every other linebacker we've brought in since we got him.

Player for player trades are extremely rare in the NFL. Too many cap implications.
