Sale, Buy or Stay.... trade deadline


Recommended Posts

Should we sale, buy or just stay for this year trade deadline. Here are a few.

 

SALE

 

Trade 1

Packers *taking care of Ryan Kelly*

Ryan Kelly 

For

Eric Stokes and a 6th

 

 

 

Kelly would join a team/organization likely headed to the playoffs. Nice stability within the organization with coach and QB.

 

We would get a look at Eric Stokes for the rest of the season. A former 1st round pick who has starting ability and has played alot of snaps.

 

 

Trade 2

Chicago *taking care of Ryan Kelly*

Ryan Kelly

For

Khalil Herbert and a 6th

 

 

 

Kelly would reunite with our old defensive Coordinator. Caleb Williams would benefit nicely from Kelly.

 

Khalil Herbert would be more insurance for JT health.

 

Trade 3

Browns *taking care of the team

Ryan Kelly and a 5th

For

Greg Newsome II CB

 

 

 

Kelly would stabilize the Browns line. Possibly staying for a the next QB and Chubb.

 

Greg Newsome would allow us to take our time with Brents health. He would give us a higher level of cornerback play on the outside then what we have right now.

 

Hell Merry trade

Ryan Kelly, Kwity Paye and 2024 1st, 4th and 2025 2nd

For

Maxx Crosby DE

 

 

 

Vegas I believe doesn't have state income tax so congratulations Kelly and Paye. Raiders have played so many different line ups without to many having success. This year he could reunite with Minshew and Paye would provide some rushing ability since Crosby would be leaving.

 

 

 

Crosby would make us a hot spot for NFL defensive Coordinators if we choose to move on from Gus. Crosby, Latu, Dayo, Defo and Grover would be a tremendous defensive line next year.

 

 

Buy 

Kaiir Elam CB and from Bills

 

 

For

6th

 

Former 1st round pick who has experience playing on the outside 

 

 

 

Jaycee Horn CB from Panthers

 

 

And Miles Sanders

For

2nd round pick 

 

Jaycee Horn has had several injuries. The Panthers can remove the risk of the guarantee of the 5th year as well as dump Miles Sanders terrible contract on us for a 2nd round pick. The pick and the cap space can help them reset as they rebuild

 

Hell Merry Trade for draft pick

Braden Smith

For

Cowboys 2nd round pick

 

I wouldn't pull this trade but with 1 more year left on his contract would having a extra 2nd be tempting enough with AR injury history?

 

Or should we just Stay?

I think we should be a limited buyer and not sell any of our current team

 

Hassan Reddick would be a GREAT immediate addition to this team

He probably can be had for a conditional 3rd

 

He would cost a big contract, but this team needs to keep adding to the DL 

 

I think our LBs are suspect and very inconsistent

I cant think of one, but a LB add could be important, and not too expensive for one of the teams that are doing poorly

Having Crosby sounds fun, but I don’t think Chris would part with that many picks to get him. 

Crazy part is I think he has the Job security to pull the trade off lol. 

Appreciate the read, rather you believe in AR is the guy or not I don't necessarily see this trade hindering the team.

Part of me think it's the scheme. I remember Shaq Leonard complaining. 

Guys on my short list are

Steve Wilks 

Steve Wilks and Ballard go way back to the Bears and crossed paths with Steichen with the Chargers. Wilks turned the Panthers around and ended the year off on a high note (6-6) before Reich got the HC job. He went on to coach a top 10 defense for the 49ers (lost a starting LB in the Superbowl) and was let go after disagreement and a disappointing Superbowl showing.

Or

Mike Vrabel

Or

Robert Saleh

Shaq started complaining after he lost his step

 

I am all for Vrabel or Saleh  BUT......  I think you wait until you either out of the playoffs or at the end of the season

 

I am ready to say g'bye to our DC after the season and probably CB

True.... what's the beef with Steve Wilks 🤔 

 

I agree we should wait till the end of the season

    • Just out of curiosity how many of you base your enjoyment of the game through fantasy or gambling eyes? 
    • What seems boring and mediocre to you is not shared by the majority of the players in the league.  Just because we are not dominant and getting 12 wins a season does mean it’s as you say. 
    • you ask for honesty. here is my opinion of the roster without considering past seasons. just strictly looking at this roster.    QB - A project, 2nd year QB, who missed his entire rookie season. And who is again injured, basically in his rookie season 2.0 We likely either see one of two the ings. He starts protecting himself, or he's out of the league faster than Luck.   Flacco - is the QB we would've probably gone with if we couldn't get a young, rookie. Why do I say this? Becuase he did it for half a decade.    RB - I wouldn't take a single back over Taylor outside of McCaffery. When you consider his recent injuries and unavailability as of late, there could be an argument for other backs like Kenneth Walker, or Barkley. With that being said, a healthy Taylor is a top-tier weapon.    Offensive Line - despite the injuries to our starting center and RG, who by the way happened to be a7th  rounder steal, we still have a top 10, and arguably top 5 line (most rankings have the colts line rated as top 5), I want to see more out of Tucker, I have my worries about him long term. But even with that being said, We have very promising depth Between Bortolini, Gonclaves, and Freeland. I have never been more confident in our line, and this is certainly our best group since Castonazo retired. Berni is rated as the 3rd best TACKLE, not just LT, but tackle right now. The story is on X if you want to confirm. Then he followed it up and grabbed a swing tackle in freeland also in the third round. I am very confident in this offensive line.    WR - probably our best group since Regg, hilton, and crief. not much explanation here. Pittman is a DOG. undeniable enforcer at WR1, we have our slot assassin, and our WR2 deep threat is leading our team in yards. We have our W 1- 3. AD I don't like him personally, due to his reluctance to catch certain balls, and his taking plays off mentality. I do believe this is something that reggie will eventually get to stop. If I had to pick a WR for the next 6 years, I'm taking all 3 of our other WRs over him. With that being said, we are talking about WR4 here. What a luxury. And don't forget dulin, who is capable in a pinch, and is a ST ace gunner.    TE - I think the room is crowded with averageness. I think Mallory and Ogletree are the future there, but Cox did just have a good game. I would like to see a reduction in quantity and an improvement of quality at this position. I think Mallory is at least good enough to be a serviceable TE2, with a ceiling to develop into an average TE1, I think Ogletree will replace Cox.    Defense   Corner is trash. next.   Dline - I said it before the season started, we desperately need a young promising DT. Both Grove and Buck are on the other side of their football careers, and as soon as one of them goes down it looks ugly. worst rushing defense essentially. I like 95, but he just isn't big enough in certain run scenarios. We had a plethora of ends and quickly dwindled after losing lewis and Ebukam. I think going into the season, it was the most loaded we've been at the position. I think we need another 3rd-5rh rounder at the position, but I am also okay with him finding FA budget talent since we primarily have our guys between dayo, PAYE, and Latu.    Linebacker - I am actually pretty negative on this position overall. I think that a lot of the stat stuffing games that Z or Speed have is really due to our abysmal run defense. I think they both lack turnover ability, and I want to upgrade this position with an impact player. No doubt about it. Carlies shows promise. I'd rather see him on some downs compared to speed. Although EJ brings energy, he often doesn't quite wrap up when running downhill.    Safety - we need true free safety, but Blackmon has been good. Cross proved everyone wrong, and we have our SS for the future.     
    • Absolutely yes.  Nice long write up but that’s about it.  Complain all you want but Ballard is going nowhere.  This is a very good young team and will only get better.  You don’t see it but I think we’re in a good position.  And I’m not alone.
    • Maybe instead of recording the podcast he was getting treatment and resting his knee lol.
