That's a big price.

Panic move from Arizona.

Guess I am in extreme minority, but I think Brown is good young WR and has plenty of development left

Good pickup by Cards IMO

Brown is close to needing a new contract.

Win for Baltimore in terms of sheer value but I think this is a big risk for a team that has a horrible history with WRs and there's the added strong relationship between Hollywood and Lamar.

I honestly think this isn't great for both teams.

I agree with you here

I think this won't look good when the Cardinals hand him a Hollywood contract and get Sacramento production.

Why are the Ravens trading Hollywood? They're lacking receivers as is.

They didn‘t want to pay him.

They didn‘t want to pay him.

Seems like it...

Still, DHOP, Hollywood, Ertz and an AJ Green who seems intent on making it work with Murray is as good as it should get. Nice corps.

Ravens sold high on a player that they were gonna have to overpay. I have more faith in the ravens decision making process than the cardinals. Cardinals will probably get more creative with him, but he’s also gonna get roughed up in that division

And Hollywood Brown didn't pan out for the Ravens, not the game breaking receiver they thought he would be.

If AZ for a 2nd back the trade would be more palatable. Fitz is gone. Hopkins was hurt last year. Kirk left. Isabelle isn’t anything to write home about.
They took Moore, a 5’7 speedster from Purdue last season. Now another sub 6 foot WR?

Surprised he had about the same value as AJ Brown. Nice coup by Baltimore.

I think he had the same value to Kyler, and making Kyler happy mattered more than doing a smart trade.

That seems to be important to Arizona right now.

yeah, brown has been frustrating to watch and inconsistent but not sure how i feel about them giving up on him so soon. but i get that they probably just didn't want to pay him

if he can put it all together he'll be a star

Am I the only one not impressed with Kyler Murray?

The only way this trade makes sense from a value perspective is that its about keeping a QB you think is a top 6 or so guy in the league happy. They played at OU together and are close friends. Under any other value construct it is an insane overpay.

 

[EpochLink]

Brown is close to needing a new contract.

And he wants to get paid, this is his contract year. He wants that 25 million dollar a year deal, so he was not gonna put up those stats with Lamar at QB.

As for Arizona, a nice compliment beside DHOP.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Am I the only one not impressed with Kyler Murray?

The way I would describe him is a QB with elite moments but not really elite. Like he'll suck for most of a half and then puts together an amazing 2-minute drive with amazing throws.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

As an A’s and 49ers fan, I don’t really care for him for multiple reasons.

I get a kick out of Aqib Talib when he pronounces his name ‘Calimari’.

As for Murray himself, he’s shown flashes to be the guy but he’s crashed and burned the past few seasons down the stretch. Then that horrendous playoff game against the Rams where he did a pick six from his own end zone..
