HYPOTHETICAL Cam Trades Thread

Recommended Posts

Since the rumor mill keeps churning up that we may attempt to trade Cam, I have a few questions for people to discuss.

  • What is the minimum you would want in return(what round picks, type of players, etc)?
  • What is the ideal result(picks, players, etc)?
  • What are the likely destinations and/or teams interested?
  • What are the teams you would absolutely NOT want to see him get traded to?

When you're looking at potential destinations, you have to consider the system.

Everybody talks about Chicago, but Chicago is running an Andy Reid style West Coast Offense. Is that really the best fit?

True but you have to consider that if you are planning on making that move, you don't try and pound an extremely expensive square peg into a round hole.

When the trade stuff started my initial gut was a 1st and a 2nd. Looking at historical trades that may be aggressive. Drew Bledsoe went for a 1st. Sam Bradford went for a 1st and a 4th. Garrapolo went for a 2nd. Carson Palmer went for a 1st and a 2nd. Craig Erickson went for a 1st. So hopefully a 1st but realistically it may be a 2nd and a 3rd.

I would take picks and have no idea what players would be realistic.

Chicago, Denver, Buffalo, Miami, Cleveland.

No NFC South or Patriots.

    • Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
    • Crosby will garner a haul in a trade. I would be reluctant to make that trade because of the following: 1. Our overall roster is awful. We cannot afford to be trading away valuable draft capital. 2. He isn't the best fit(IMO) for the scheme that Evero runs.  I love the player but it would really need to be at a reasonable deal and I think he is likely to garner an unreasonable price if he gets traded.
    • In terms of need, EDGE is currently #1. Our pass rush is near league worst levels. However, I don't subscribe to "need" based drafting. BPA all day.  We do need to dramatically upgrade over Scourton, Jones, Wonnum and Umanmielen. That is likely in the running for the NFL's worst two deep. Not saying all those players are bad, but I am saying 100% of those players are 2nd or 3rd stringers.
