Trade Rumors Thread

Recommended Posts

I did not see a trade rumor thread.  Watching NFL Network and I can start a few rumors.  Please add them as you hear them.

Green Bay getting offers at #12.

Atlanta (#14) looking to trade up for inside pass rusher (Oliver?).

Miami (#13) needs a lot--would consider a trade back.  Casserly feels they will build the roster in 2019 and go for a QB in 2020.

Washington (#15) may trade up for Haskins, which means they would probably have to leapfrog #6 Giants.

Giants interested in Daniel Jones. WAS might not need to jump over NYG after all

I thought for a while that Raiders and Cards have a deal in place and that the NFL is asking them to keep it under wraps until tonight. The Raiders sent their scouts home to make sure it didn't leak.

It just makes too much sense. Raiders go up to 1 to get Murray. They need someone exciting like Murray to sell tickets in the new stadium in Vegas. Cards stick with Rosen and have their pick of Josh Allen, Quinnen Williams, and Bosa.

Cards have spent a lot of time with Bosa.  Could happen.

Honestly, nothing about it makes sense. Why would you hire a gimmicky sub-.500 all offense failed college head coach if you're not going to give him the QB he wants? The experiment is almost certainly destined for spectacular failure, but if you don't draft Kyler Murray you never even gave it a chance.

I think the Raiders do have a surprise in store tonight and Mayock has hinted to this, but I think that surprise is QB at #4.

Someone on NFL network made a good point--the focus in the NFL has been on getting the ball out quickly---this makes DE/Edge less important and middle pass rushers more important.  Atlanta is considering trading down for Oliver, but if not,  I think they take Wilkins.

In other fragmented news, it looks as if 3 QBs are going in the first half of the first round--

1. Murray

4. Haskins (to Raiders or a trade up)

15. Jones (Redskins would take either Haskins or Jones here--could trade up for haskins---some talk about trading back as well--LT says Jones is no first round talent, Casserly likes him, compares him to Brad Johnson, Trent Green)

I still think Elway is taking Drew Lock.

I'm not mad bc it will benefit us, but I just dont understand Washington.  It's like they just want to take a QB just to take one.  They still dont know if Alex Smith is coming back, picked up Keenum who can be really good in the right system (and I think he fits in really well in Gruden's offense), and they still want to draft a QB?  And not a specific one, ANY QB they can get lol...  sounds like a good plan.

And the QB draft next year is so much better--why not wait a year to see what you have?  Gruden's job is not on the line....

    • Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
    • He did himself more harm than good by engaging in this ridiculous legal battle. One it brought to light how much gambling he was actually doing and two it made him a very unlikable figure from a public perspective because he was challenging the perceived sanctity (lol) of college sports. Then to make things worse his lawyers convinced a very stupid and very gullible old boomer judge to agree with him. Now he’s a lightning rod entering the league and that’s not a good place to be. 
    • He went through the treatment program, fwiw if anything, and my focus is on his size, decision-making (on the field, not phone), and his arm strength.  But drafting a QB with an addiction that could get him Pete Rosed is not ideal.  I am not satisfied that the Panthers have (as Canales has stated to be important) addressed the QB spot with competition since Bryce has been here. Should Bryce not continue to improve or should he become injured, are we going with Pickett?  Pickett had 45 pass attempts with the Raiders last season and was sacked 8 times.  He has an NFL career where his interceptions are equal to his TDs.  He is not good.  H. King could emerge as the backup, if that tells you anything, but if we can pick a player with NFL starting potential (Sorsby would have been rated ahead of Ty Simpson (drafted #13 overall) in 2026 and he is rated #3 overall in the strong 2027 QB draft class, behind Manning and Moore--again, this would give Sorsby a first-round grade.  If I am Morgan, and I do not feel 100% confident that Bryce is the future, I might offer a second rounder for Sorsby.  I think he might go before that, frankly.   Some will say I am crazy, but to get a QB with Sorsby's talent in the 2027 draft, we may need to move up in round 1.  If Bryce steps up, you have a solid backup.  Regardless, I would sleep better.
