Sam adds two veterans, cbbrew banks another future first

Sam sent a 2028 1st-round pick to Charles. In return, Sam gets Jakobi Meyers, Tony Pollard, a 2028 2nd, a 2027 2nd and a 2029 3rd.

This is exactly the kind of trade Charles has built a career on. Zero picks with a 60% shot at 1.01 wasn't enough — now he's got a 2028 first to go with it, no strings, no players attached. He is, as ever, allerged to starting lineups but never to draft capital.

For Sam, this is a name-your-price rummage through the depth chart. Meyers is a depth piece and Pollard is a bench RB with standalone value, so neither one is walking into a huddle and demanding the ball first. What Sam actually bought is three future picks — a 2028 second, a 2027 second, a 2029 third — while surrendering just one, and a later one at that.

Call it typical Sam: the league's most self-described terrible GM quietly stacking future capital while adding two players who can start in a pinch. Charles, meanwhile, keeps doing what he does best — hoarding firsts, ignoring lineups, and reminding everyone the tank is the plan.

Advantage: hard to call a loser here. Sam upgrades his bench and his 2027-29 draft slate. Charles inches closer to 1.01 with interest.
