Should we make a Trade?

Of course yall know how I am about trading away draft picks.  However we were able to get Olsen with a third round pick.  Are there any players out there that could be had on the cheap?  With Hardy being out and CJ's skills declining, I've been thinking perhaps the Jets would be interested in dealing Quinton Coples.  His rookie year, he was able to put up 5.5 sacks from the DE position.  In his sophomore year, they transitioned him to play OLB, and his stats aren't spectacular at all from there.  This guy is a 4-3 DE, and perhaps the Jets would be willing to let him go for a 3rd pick and a cornerback. (I elect Josh Norman, but it would be a hard sale indeed)

 

um

 

you're kidding, right?

Nope.  What's wrong with that trade?

One, Coples is garbage.

 

Two, lol @ trading a 3rd round pick for a dude who was a first round pick just a couple of years ago.

 

Three, no team on this planet other than us (for some ungodly reason) wants Josh Norman within 100 feet of their roster.

Ain't like titans are going anywhere if price was right idk why they wouldn't

It's all about the system.  We were able to get Olsen, former 1st round pick, because the Bears didn't want to keep him due to the system.  It's the same here with Coples in my opinion.  He was great his rookie year playing DE, better than Hardy and CJ's rookie seasons.  He would fit right at home here in the Carolinas.  Also he would be insurance for Hardy leaving us at year's end. (Ealy is still developing.)

 

It's evident now that this defense depends on our front four guys.  It's actually amazing that we don't blitz more often considering McDermott was a student of Jim Johnson.  Who knows if Frank can pick up the slack left by Hardy.  I'm not totally confident there.

if gettleman does his homework, there is a hungry RB out there that can't wait to show this league what he can do. May be he is riding the bench somewhere, may be he is on some practice squad

Or may be he is in trouble for fugging up his kid (I kid, I kid) ... one can only hope

[JawnyBlaze]

poo I wouldn't mind Coples for a 3rd but I don't see it happening.  I'd love to be able to trade a mid round pick like that for a guy that could start for us at LT (meaning ANY other team's starting LT and most of their backup LTs) but I don't see that happening either.

An END!?

[davos]

It likely isn't happening but if anything does, you'd have to imagine it would be for an OL

[LinvilleGorge]

Frank Alexander will be coming back from suspension in two weeks. He'll be starting opposite CJ when that happens and Addison will go back to his situational pass rush duties. The OL really needs help.

[Cam2Benji]

Give me a WR who is fast and can create separation because we clearly need to get KB some help because teams are gonna start doubling him soon.

 

 

Travis Benjamin from Cleveland would be nice, dude is a serious home run threat everytime he touches the football.

[JJman]

I would rather us give Seastrunk and Hill a shot before we deal for a RB or WR. Plus, it would be wise to wait for Alexander to return before we think about adding a DE. However, I'd overpay at this point to get a starting caliber LT or RT on this team.

I might bring in a slew of free agents to try to find a diamond in the trash bin.
