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....

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
