Trade or wait for cuts?

What would you do if you were Hurney? Time is running out. I don't feel like we are going to make a trade once the season starts and teams have their rosters set. Right now they might make a trade because they can get something out of it and live with a guy that they might otherwise be forced to cut.

My big issue with it is that I don't think that we are going to get anyone even remotely close to Kemo's ability to stop the run if we wait for cuts. The guys that get cut IMO are not going to be starting caliber NTs.

Lots of 295-310LB DT's being released today...

I know but are they going to be good enough to get our run defense back to where it was with Kemo?

We also have to consider that Kemo was injured for the end of last season too. He is a huge person and maybe his body isn't going to be what it once was after this injury.

Wellllllll, since we have gotten into the habit of trading draft picks, and we have literally no cap room, I think that we will have to pick up a cast off.

The problem is, some of the better ones will choose to go somewhere where they can make some money, sadly, we don't have any.

what if they were given a back end loaded contract?

Wouldn't it be silly to agree to one of these since most likely one would not see the heavy pay year(s) due to getting cut or replaced?

I'm not very knowledgeable on how the contract stuff works so just curious.

No decent DT is going to agree to one, as they may only be a stop gap until Kemo is back next season.

We need a good DT, not just a big body. Everyone saw what happens when we don't have a 2 gap player in the lineup, last season.

We are in a bind big time.

It goes back to drafting.

i was thinking like a 2, maybe 3, year contract. player makes a minimum now. if he does well and we ask him to return he gets an increase, and then the same for a possible 3rd year.

edit: i'm talking about those that get cut. not ones for trade

Makes more sense that way, but I would think we'd be hard pressed to find someone of quality with a condition like that. No?

I think we are going to wait. I would love to bring in Williams but I think we will wait. I honestly don't think a defensive tackle is going to solve much. It may help a little in the run game but whoever it is probably will get pulled off the field in passing situations (unles we trade for Williams). This defense is just lost right now and they need to find some identity. The Broncos were fired up and jumping around last night and I haven't seen our defense do that at all this preseason, except on the Brayton sack which was the best play from the defense all preseason.

I hear ya, and that would be great, but not gonna happen.

You can certainly get a scrub to agree to that, but not a decent talent. And we need more than just a decent talent to keep OL off of our SUPER expensive LB corps.

      This season only ends one way... We win this Sunday. Bryce is decent. We take back 1st place...   Only to then get our brakes blown off in the last two weeks.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Here's one of the most maddening things, that will be shown in full light over the next three weeks. The same people around here that called Darnold a bum and Mayfield a washed up over draft are also the ones saying Bryce is a catastrophe. Yeah, and I've been one who said Bryce wasn't big enough, brave enough or capable enough. I said back in the day that Darnold had a lot of fight in him and got shouted down. And on Mayfield, heck I didn't know, I just knew we had a very, very bad team that was run terribly. But I saw both of those guys go out there and resurrect their careers and be play-off bound since shaking the Carolina clay dust off their cleats. And we sat there and cat called their cars as they pulled out of the parking lot, laughing at what nobodies they were. Over the next three weeks, those two guys may just serve us sh!t sandwiches and then settle down to their just desserts. And then we'll probably let Bryce go off into the realm of other teams. And when that happens, will we see him coming back, better than before and we're left to re-sit this cycle all over again? Same naysayers, same results, same revolving carousel of ponies and pundits?  Will we end up looking like the Temu version of the San Diego Chargers back in the day watching Drew Brees come to fruition in the previously moribund Superdome while we whiff on a Manning pick just to be jilted for Phillip "Always a Bridesmaid" Rivers?
