Trade Deadline

Recommended Posts

I don't know who would be available that could help. Short of a superstar franchise quarterback, I think the strategy should just be to scratch this year, scratch Chuck, get a high draft pick, and wait for Andrew to come back. Unless you were willing to deal TY, I don't really know if we have any chips either? I wouldn't trade any draft picks, so who is next? Castonzo?

There is not point in making a trade if the team is in rebuilding mode 

There is a point called collecting draft choices. Davis will surely leave as a free agent so even trading him for a 5th or 6th round pick is better than hanging on to him and his declining skills.

I know a lot of people would not agree with me on this, BUT I think it would be a good Idea to try and trade Moncrief, Hilton and Davis, maybe Simon and Sheared, or any other 1 year contract players to playoff and championship contending teams, try to get as many draft picks as possible to try to start rebuilding. because lets face it, whether people want to admit it or not, Ballard is going to have to rebuild. that whole offensive line needs to be redone, and the defense is in shambles. there is not one position on defense that I can even see that is being close to being fixed. 

 

That is just my opinion

Part of rebuilding is trading players you don't want anymore for extra draft picks.

It's tough to trade any player you don't want anymore. If they are talented you want to keep them. If they have low talent no one wants to trade for them.

There are a few defensive players that can contribute. Just my opinion.

Hard to get something for Vontae Davis individually, but if perhaps a good package deal for Hilton and Davis in exchange for a decent player (undetermined position like Oline or Linebacker) and a high end draft pick (or multiple middle picks).

 

Thoughts?

Send Hilton to San Fran with Castanzo maybe get a 1st rounder in return. seeing they got Jimmy G. now at QB giving him a WR and a LT around him for the next 3 or 4 years is a good building block for them. especially since Staley and Garcon are up there in age an all.  Then maybe send Moncrief and Davis to Washington for their 1st rounder? Gore to dallas for a 3rd rounder now that zeke is suspended. 

 

Okay I'll bring myself back to reality and realize im not playing madden anymore lol.

I wouldn't trade players, I would trade picks.   It's a great time to sell draft picks.

 

With what you can get in trade for draft picks currently, teams are missing the boat by not making trades.
Ajayi for a 4th round? San Fran gives up only a 2nd rounder for a QB they feel can be their franchise guy. From one source, there is only a 27% chance of getting a long term starter in the 2nd round.

What stats tells us about the draft by round

Of course the length of time left on a contract can play a part, but I think teams need to be confident that they can sign players to extensions.

    • This has to be the worst take I've seen on this forum in a very long time!  I wish there was a thumb down or dislike button for your post.
    • Kool-Aid McKinstry(41), Kamari Lassiter(no.42), Max Melton(43) all have their 3d year completely guaranteed too.    In general it seems like MItchell's contract is middle of the road type of contract. Some got more guaranteed, some less... 
    • Enjoy I'm making an 11 hour trip myself  in November  to get to a colts game.
    • Details from OTC: https://overthecap.com/player/adonai-mitchell/11660   Four years, $7,386,086 total value, $4,817,431 fully guaranteed at signing (65.2%, no info about offsets) Signing bonus, $2,191,700 (prorated to $547,925/year) Salaries for 2024 ($795,000) and 2025 ($1,130,731) are fully guaranteed at signing Salary for 2026 ($1,466,462) partially guaranteed ($700,000) at signing (47.7%)   The #46 pick this year was Jonathon Brooks (coincidentally, the Colts original draft spot), to the Panthers. His contract is only guaranteed for the first two years, total of $4,914,107 guaranteed, which is 58.4% of the total value. At first, I thought this meant AD Mitchell's contract is pretty good, but apparently Brooks' contract is kind of bad. The next pick was Tyler Nubin (Giants), who has nearly all of his third year guaranteed. And last year, the #46 pick was Keion White (Patriots), and almost half of his third year was guaranteed. So Brooks seems to have undercut his guarantees. Some teams hold the line really well, so I was thinking maybe Carolina doesn't want guarantees in the third year, but they drafted Jonathan Mingo at #39 last year, and guaranteed almost half of his third year. Brooks probably could have done better if he had waited a few weeks.   The second round is kind of all over the place this year. There are still 11 guys unsigned, and a good number at the top and in the middle of the round. But all the way up at #40, Cooper DeJean (Eagles) only has $247k guaranteed in 2026, and his total percentage of guarantee is only 62.8%, so his contract isn't as favorable as Mitchell's. And then you have a few guys in the middle of the round -- like Jackson Powers-Johnson (Raiders, #44) and Edgerrin Cooper (Packers, #45) -- who have 2026 fully guaranteed (Cooper's is all but $76k).   But it's all going up. AD Mitchell has more favorable guarantees than Jonathan Taylor did when he was the #41 pick in 2020 (53.9%). Each draft class pushes it a little further than the previous class.
