A young defensive player, a 1st, and a 2nd would be ideal imo.

Exactamundo. Though Maxx is more petulance with flappy-gums-drama than dickhead-drama. Great players, but I don’t want Pickens and would be fine trading Maxx.

I’m looking forward to everyone mirroring the Raiders’ future leader, Mr. Let’s f[raiders_icon]cking Go Mendo!!! There’s a tenacious perfectionism behind that “aw shucks” humility.

Those rebels of Raider yore are history. Legendary history. But that doesn’t really fly in the modern game. Have the Offense be all Mendo. Have the Defense be all Howie Long/Charles Woodsen. Assassins with smiles.

Fredo Corleone and the Posse of Fools sound like a Vegas lounge act.

But as I said in the other thread, speaking on him just as a player, I think he could be great in an offense that features him like Kubiak’s would.

Preamble considered, what do you guys think about Maxx for Pickens + 12? Take the best player available at 12, and hope Pickens becomes the best version of himself.

I would still be concerned from an attitude point of view, but he’s the kind of guy who could really make our offense great. I think he’s just scratching the surface of what he can be
You're definitely trading a malcontent for possibly a bigger one. It's not without risk But Pickens is in his prime and displayed a level of production for his position that Maxx has never sniffed. He can be an elite #1 so if we got an additional first in this scenario sure I'd do it. If it were anything less than Pickens + 12 I'd most likely go cheap with vet WR and try to solve the position next year.

Sounds like a ripoff of the Insane Clown Posse name.

2 1s and Jamo from Det. Ideal field stretcher for us and 2 late 1s. Maxx gets to go home to a contender.

If we do trade Maxx some of you are going to be disappointed in the return

...it doesn't obviously, and anyone fooled by Pickens having behaved a bit more like an adult for one year, or at least not like he had before, and when he knew he absolutely had to, to get the big score that he was targeting, really hasn't paid attention to how guys like that work....

I am not worried about the return from a potential trade of Max. This is a different front office and they are not obligated to do dick. Max is clearly wanted by multiple teams. Sit back and let them bid against each other. Worse case is at the end of the day, we have Max (not a bad thing).

OK, tell me how he continually spit in our faces? The video is about as close as you can come and that is about it. Other than that, he talks a lot and he made a mistake backing Pierce.

I’ll take a 1/2/jamo.
