According to The Athletic's Doug Haller, not only is there a "strong possibility" that star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is traded, but the Cardinals also "remain open to trading the No. 3 pick and moving back to gain additional picks, which might be their best option."

Haller explained Arizona has many roster needs, leading to the team's desire to explore its trade options.

"This is a team with more questions than answers. In his first year on the job, GM Monti Ossenfort needs to rebuild the offensive line, add a pass rusher and improve the cornerback room," Haller wrote while adding wide receiver to that list in the event Hopkins is traded.

This has been my thought for awhile. Package Pick 3 and Nuke Hopkins for pick 9 and maybe a 1st and 3rd/4th next year.

Not sure how feasible it is with the cap numbers and compensation but it’s worth a discussion at the least.

i have been thinking for a good while that AZ seems like the most likely and ideal trade partner. 

c'mon WIlson.... work your connections!

Same.  I've though that for a while, and honestly believe they're the highest possible we can get.  Not because we don't want the #1 pick, but I don't think the Bears are willing to drop back all the way to #9 and miss out on one of the elite defensive prospects.

If my board has three QBs we would be willing to trade up for, then ok.  I do not see us trading up on draft day-  Why, you ask? All of the QB needy teams will have already moved up--they ain't trading out. 

If Baltimore gets two firsts for Jackson, then expect them to be in the market with the draft capital to move up to #1 if they want.  I think it would be smart to work out a deal sooner than later, but not if you don't love 3 QBs--Me?  I only love 2 and like 2.

OK here is what you could do--trade up to #3.  If your top 2 QBs are gone (Young, Stroud, for example) that means you have the access to the best non-QBs in the draft--Jalen Carter and Will Anderson to trade out.  After that, imo, there is a drop off.   Trade out of #3 back to #6 or so, for example. a team wanting one of the remaining QBs or Carter/Anderson will be all in.  It is risky, but so is moving up for Richardson or Levis.

But the thing is to get to #3 now, and then move around if needed.

Trading to 3 means we probably keep our 25 first and we should have the option of Young/Stroud or whoever we like better out of Levis/AR.  You really have to be sold on 3 QBs though and I think we might be...  So there have been Levis rumors for a minute and we apparently like Young although he SHOULD be gone by 3.  We also have McCown on camera comparing Stroud to Burrow and seemed high on him.  Reports are currently that we don't think AR is worth that high of a pick, but the other 3 look to be fair game.  Trade to 3 and let the pieces fall ahead of you.

Person mentions #3 as a likely target...

The Panthers are considering all options, but they know they would have to switch places with Arizona at 3 to ensure they get one of the top three QBs on their board. While the Panthers are impressed with Anthony Richardson’s raw talent, my sense is they view him as too big of a gamble to trade up for. Then — assuming they don’t pursue another free agent such as Jimmy Garoppolo — it becomes a matter of which QB they like best among Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud and Will Levis.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.
