NFL Trade Deadline

[LayneStaley]

Ok maybe this doesn’t need its own thread but the deadline is 5 weeks away. I know the next couple weeks will determine if we are buyers but let’s say we get to 5-2 do we make a move?

I really wish we still had Jakobi here but it sounds like a few guys might be available…

Brian Thomas Jr
Marvin Harrison Jr
Jerry Jeudy

Thoughts?

I believe the Vikings would absolutely offer a 3rd for Cousins. I'm not sure any other team would offer much of anything but it is a unique trade opportunity for the Raiders because I think they've presented themselves as not wanting to trade him so you don't need competing offers to demand a price.

I think the Vikings likely land a QB..... but it could be Daniel Jones, at a lower price, if Cousins isn't available.

Chucker, I think you are right. The Vikings are all in for a Super Bowl run (rightfully so). I think they are going to sit tight until the last minute and do some comparisons. They must be figuring that we get blown away by the Niners which would move the needle in the chances of trading for Captain Kurk. There are more moving parts. Do they like what they see in Wentz and does he play a good game against the Bills? Obviously, the Colts are tanking and there is a slight connection to Jones. I would think the asking price for Jones will be much lower than Cousins. I am sure the Vikings leave no stone unturned and will make a soft inquiry about Cousins. There is a bigger connection with Cousins and I am sure JJ would prefer him over Jones (even though Cousins arm is toast). If Cousins becomes available, do the Vikings cheap out (Jones) or pay the extra vig for Cousins.

I completely forgot Jones spent a short stint in Minnesota not too long ago

I think this is a case where price is more determined by what it is worth to the buyer, than what the seller paid for it. I want their 2nd or a swap of their 1st for our 2nd.

If that would be a trade with the Vikings, we might just move up a few spots — from a high-ish second to a low first. I wouldn’t do that He is worth a lot more than that to possibly help the Vikings to get to the Superbowl. Our schedule is difficult and likely to keep us under 9 wins.

gonna need to raise the price to 2nd rd to make the deal happen, the alternative daniel jones or the shrimp kyler murray
