Serious question. Can we trade Ron Rivera?

What makes you think that a coach on the hot seat is a trade comity. All the rumors and articles about him being fired and you think someone is going to say wait! We will give you a 7th round pick for that! Any half way decent gm that is even remotely interested in this guy would just wait til he’s fired. Save draft capital.

Trading coaches is extremely rare. And you have to wait to see who got rid of their current coach before you'd know whether anybody was interested.

Browns, 1st rounder and Garrett should do the trick.

It's not gonna happen but there would be some logic to trading for him. He'll be a highly highly sought after DC and several teams that may want him won't get him. Trade for his rights and either he coaches for you as DC or he doesn't coach. Could be worth a mid rounder. But this never happens and it won't now.

If they traded for him they'd inherit his contract. Who would want to pay a coordinator head coach money? Especially if they've actually watched his defense play this season.

    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.  
    • They will still be a playoff team but they aren't contenders anymore IMO. They won't be able to spend like they have when they went to a SB and proved he couldn't carry a win at that level with a really good team around him. Now he is going to have to do it with less to spend around him. They just locked in to being a playoff bound team that's going to be a known speed bump for whoever will represent the NFC in the SB.
    • Hmm. I think he'll live up to it. Last year, about half of his team was on IR it seems, at one time or another. Year before, Super Bowl appearance. Year before that, playoff run after being third on the depth chart and being pressed into service. Is he one of the greatest in the game right now? Nope. No chance of that. Is he in the top 10 going into next season? Pretty good chance of that.  Would 20 or more teams in this league love to have the guy as their starting QB. Most likely so. He's a good QB who can implement his coach's game plan to a T and has both the confidence of and confidence in his teammates. That'll take you a long way in this league if you've got the right cast around you, and he does.
