I found it interesting that Chipman was quoted in the CBC article as saying something along the lines of "someone I trust in this business warned me about a full teardown". Kinda got me wondering who it could behave been
Well it definitely wasn't Terry Pagula.
Speaking of rebuilds...
I wonder if the following tactic would work for undesirable markets like the Jets. Admit that at some point you might need to rebuild.
Become buyers and sellers at upcoming trade deadlines, but target 1st round picks a few years in the future (all in the same draft year, so this draft would be like 8-10 years ahead). Hopefully in a strong draft. Then either draft with those picks, trade them for roster players or move up in the draft for a cornerstone piece of the future.
Kind of a half baked idea at the moment, so maybe it's a horrible idea.
That's an idea that has several opportunities to go wrong. How would you know it's a strong draft even 2 years away let alone 8-10? If a cornerstone guy was available at 1, what amount of 1sts do you think it would take to trade out of it?
