Re: Armistead and Rankins
I’d trade Armstead for any pick in the 1st or 2nd round....especially with the way we drafted last year.

Re: Armistead and Rankins
Neither is going anywhere. TA could never be released or traded with his ridiculous contract. They will probably restructure and let him stick around for two more years until they can afford to eat his contract. Rankins is doing exactly what he is supposed to do. Eating up the o-line and freeing the lbs.

Re: Armistead and Rankins
Maybe, but I also think it is silly talk to hear people discuss Rankins as the second coming of Christ when he is putting up numbers like Ellis and all we did was talk about how he was a bust.
This is only his second year, which is why if we were going to move him now might be ideal since he probably still has value. Another year of last season stats and...well we will get nothing. Then again maybe he turns it around in year 3. |

Re: Armistead and Rankins
So hard to say with TA because he is such a talent but man it is like he is hurt constantly. Even when healthy he goes down mid-game for a some plays.
If we could unload him...I would. For the right price. Hope Rankins tears it up and maybe getting him some inside help would prove the difference, but I might move the guy if we could get something worthwhile. |

If they trade Armstead... I would move Ranczyk to LT, and find another RT. |

I think Peat is fine at LT, at least from what I have seen He does mull people at guard though |
