    "I think this would work. It gives me the 2nd rounder I'm looking for. I end up shouldering a couple of your overvalued contracts and will have to take the cap hit when I cut Dissly, but it's less than cutting Diggs."

    "Very fair and I completely understand, but I think Funchess has a small chance for a break out season. I'd do this (take out Funchess due to his high ceiling on GB) and replace with Mitchell. You get your $900K cap relief immediately which will help with your rookies to be drafted and free agent pickups. having Dissly and Olsen on the same team is useless to us unless one gets hurt. "

    • Welker, Wes (WR)

    "This is the only trade I could give you for Welker that would make the cap space work out and still include DeAndre Hopkins. If you're interested, we would need to break this trade into smaller chunks so you can drop my scraps without hitting your roster limit (plus I'll have to move some of my guys off the practice squad so I don't go under the minimum). If this works for you, let me know and we'll coordinate with Brandon."
