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?

[Cruisin with Tooz]

The Davis trade tells me a 2027 1st and 2028 2nd is definitely achievable for Maxx. Possibly even a 1st and 2nd in 2027 and a 3rd in 2028. I don’t see 2 1s anymore but I’ll take any of the mentioned compensation.

Get Jerry on the phone.

Make it so.

[Rainman56]

Trading Maxx to the highest bidder should be the absolute first move we make.

Yep send Flock Nation packing if the price is right.

From an article on Maxx and the trade deadline…

“Maxx Crosby

One day, predictions of a trade for Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby will come true—I’m just not certain it’s happening this week. First, he’s set to make half of his $30 million base salary across the rest of the season, which significantly constricts the number of potential trade suitors. The Raiders know that Crosby loves playing for Las Vegas—and owner Mark Davis reciprocates that appreciation, according to Pelissero’s reporting—so the only way a trade would work is if Crosby is 100 percent bought into the idea of playing elsewhere, and if he can convince Davis to take on the financial burden of paying most of his remaining salary while he competes for a championship.

I’m sure there’ll be interest in Crosby, but this is one of those moves where the acquiring team had better be sure he’s the difference between winning and losing a championship this season.

Possible destination and trade value: Detroit Lions, multiple first-round picks

We talked above about the Lions making some moves around the margins, but the biggest swing they can take would be adding an elite edge rusher to play opposite Aidan Hutchinson. Hutchinson would instantly be the best defensive teammate Crosby has ever had, and the pair would be Detroit’s best chance to compete against division rival quarterbacks like Caleb Williams and Jordan Love.

Crosby will be 30 years old at the start of next season and set to make over $28 million per year through his age-32 season, so I wonder whether teams will be more cautious about trading away multiple first-round picks for him after watching edge rusher Myles Garrett miss several games for the Rams this year due to injury. A move like this would be a total swing for the fences, and I’m rooting for a team to take that chance.”

Don't trade with Howie Roseman.

Hahahaha, in an off season where we’re about to enter desperate for DTs, at least 2 of them. Chicago and Jacksonville are looking like Super Bowl favorites for each conference having traded boatloads for DTs in-season.

I’ve poked around next years draft. Unfortunately not deep at Guard and DTackle, and with us needing/wanting a WR1, yeesh.

We could get lucky with a WR drafting one after Day 1 of the draft, and we might even be able to get lucky drafting a short-armed Tackle to play Guard, but so far I don’t see many good DTs past round 2.

Caveat: What the f do I know?

Vikings drafted a DT in the 1st this year and he's a healthy inactive tonight. Lots of rookie DTs take time to develop.

[STHfrontrow]

Well the Vikings are in trouble offensively. They look rough out there and the defense is keeping a top offense in check.

They just might offer a high pick for Kirk.

They're watching a great defense get wasted due to utterly inept QB play. Kirk could walk in cold and do better than Wentz. Give him a few weeks and the Vikes would have a decent offense.

[DanKD]

Kirk can do what Darnold did last year.

[DanKD]

Oh my Wentz is bad

[Xramfan]

Here’s to hoping Vikings are desperate tonight and tomorrow I wake up to some great news

Poor QB play is the only thing holding them back and they are still 6-2. That defense is championship caliber, they need to pull out the stops and get some competency at QB. With the playmakers they have on offense Cousins could put that team over the top.

[raiders72]

Vikes have two #3’s
If Minnesota calls and it’s a top 100 pick you make the f’in move, if you don’t as an Organization your incompetent

[DanKD]

Even a 3rd rounder and 10 million in cap space is worth but im trying to get a 2nd or 3rd and 4th

I wouldn't trade him away for anything but a 1st because that pick is almost certainly going to be in the 20s i.e. a low first rounder. It gets even worse from there; a low second rounder, a third, etc.

They can watch their season flush down the crapper or have some hope that it can be saved.

If not, tough titties for them and the outlook for our situation will be the same.

I'll give them a little incentive though. For their 1st rounder, we'll give them Cousins and an extra incentive in the form of a 55 gallon drum of Astroglide.
