Trades for players buried in Depth Chart

Recommended Posts

I guess the first question is, will GMan be active in trades or is he going to rely on the draft and bargain FA's?

If he does decide to make trades, which player(s) buried on another team's depth chart would you like to see Gman make a trade for? 

Players who I like sitting on someone else's bench.

1) Devin Smith - NYJ He is currently 5th on the depth chart. This guy can flat out ball if put in the right position. Last year he signed a 4 year, $5,872,419 contract with the New York Jets, including a $2,530,850 signing bonus, $3,232,779 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $1,468,105. In 2016, Smith will earn a base salary of $701,929. Smith has a cap hit of $1,334,641 while his dead money value is $2,600,065.


2) Matt Elam - BAL - 2nd on the Strong Safety depth chart. Would be able to slide over to FS or move Coleman over to FS. In 2013 he signed a 4 year, $6,767,002 contract with the Baltimore Ravens, including a $3,301,456 signing bonus, $5,439,229 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $1,691,751. In 2016, Elam will earn a base salary of $1,327,773.Elam has a cap hit of $2,140,997


3) Marqise Lee - JAX - He is currently 3rd on the depth chart but the team also has Julius Thomas and Marcedes Lewis to limit his targets. Would be an instant threat (if healthy). In 2014 he signed a 4 year, $5,174,022 contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars, including a $2,082,924 signing bonus, $3,158,107 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $1,293,506. In 2016, Lee will earn a base salary of $890,366. Lee has a cap hit of $1,411,097 while his dead money value is $1,041,462.


4) Margus Hunt - CIN - The 6'8" behemoth is 3rd on the RDE spot. Would love to see him play his potential with us. In 2013 he signed a 4 year, $3,671,102 contract with the Cincinnati Bengals, including a $1,049,892 signing bonus, $1,049,892 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $917,776. In 2016, Hunt will earn a base salary of $855,604 and a workout bonus of $50,000. Hunt has a cap hit of $1,168,077 while his dead money value is $262,473.

I don't trust backup Ravens safeties. PTSD in that regard.

As far as the other guys go, I trust Gettleman's scouting expertise in that area. He made two trades last year in Allen and Norwood. Both were had for peanuts without mortgaging the future, and the Allen trade proved to be well  worth it in the fact that we got a consistent starter for cheap even if his stats weren't out of this world.

With Pittsburgh's embarrassment of riches at WR, how about knocking on their door for Markus Wheaton?

Or their 3rd round pick from last year, Sammie Coates?

(Frankly, I don't see Gettleman dipping into the trade market personally.)

During the NFL combine, the player that Markus Wheaton was being compared to was Antonio Brown. They don't need two of them on the same team! I would drool over having him.

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
