Nah, just stating facts.
On the "Call", there would be no call if Lynch didn't get involved or that would be tampering. Plus what call is this, was this call when we were in negotiations after Trent was on the team already?
The way we got Trent was nearly the same way we got Jimmy
lol Jimmy that was another fumble by Lynch we all knew Kirk was the plan but he had to get fancy and trade for that garbage. Kirk hits Sanders in 2019 but I digress this isn't the Lynch thread
Kyle and Lynch are on record saying they both found the opportunity to trade for Jimmy as too fortunate to pass up.
The bitter side of our fan base trying to blame one or the other... they were both responsible, and it worked out fairly well overall, but not good enough. But that's the thing with projections for players - you never know how they'll develop, what injuries they'll have, what parts of their game will stall and/or atrophy. You do the best with the information and opportunities you have in the moment. And in mid-season 2017 it was absolutely the right choice to trade for Jimmy, and based on his play after the trade that season it was a very reasonable move to re-sign him as a free agent that offseason.
