Trading for a MLB

I am digging this defense on paper so far.  Hearing good things out of camp.  With the uncertainty of Darnold.  What would you offer and who would you execute a trade with to help out both on defense and/or offsense.

My first thought is with the Damien Wilson situation I think we are a MLB away from competing to be another top 5 defense this year.   

With rumors and sources swirling around I am hearing some of these players are on the block or should be on the block.  

My offer:

Darnold and Robbie Anderson (with potentially throwing in a 3rd-5th pick if necessary) 

for

Atlanta Falcons: LB Deion Jones : Deion Jones posted 130 or more tackles for the second time in his career in 2021. The 27-year-old veteran has averaged 109 tackles per season throughout his six years with the franchise.

Chicago Bears: LB Roquan Smith : Smith requested a trade 4 days ago and Darnold could help the Bears with QB depth and also Robbie would be starting WR on that team after losing Allen Robinson.  Smith had 163 total tackles last year and added 3 Sacks and 1 INT.  Second Team All Pro.

Atlanta won't trade within the division, and even if they would, no to Jones.

I would LOVE Roquan Smith. But I don't know what it would cost to get him.

If the panthers fleeced the bears again like they did with Olsen...

I don't think we are close enough to being competitive in our division, to make trades like this.

I'd wait for preseason cuts to make a move.  

We had it covered last season this time but we cut him. They probably didn't think he'd be durable enough. He goes to the Pro Bowl, we're still looking for an answer. 

Atleast Whitehead isn't back there still. And Wilson should be an upgrade to Carter Jr. Not a MASSIVE upgrade but a step up nonetheless. And he can play all three spots. 

Even with Wilson, Littleton and Smith, I wouldn't stop looking for alternatives.

    • So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.   
    • My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
