TRADE BAIT - Cash, Draft pick(s), and/or a Play-yer...right???

After looking at what WE have to trade away in order to receive a player who will fit better for us in return - and Not trade draft capital:

1) Drew Lock (who I would like to keep until at least when we know Geno's future)

2) LG Jackson (trade our ugly next year's contract for another team's ugly 2023 obligation)

3) Tight End? - we have three starter/near starters here...

4) Cody Barton - Blitzes well and plays well in space, but has been challenged with linemen at his feet. Someone might see him as an edge setting/pass rushing LB...wait, maybe WE can!

5) Mystery DB - We DO have a Lot of bodies in our DB room. It almost looks like August in there...

Can we do anything with any of these assets? Anyone? Ferris Bueller? Anyone?

I'll take Shaq Thompson if the price is right.

Can we trade Fant for anything good?

Desmond King and Shaq Thompson would both improve our team, but not magically so. Day 3 compensation only.

Has Sidney Jones been a healthy scratch to save him for the trade deadline? Some teams who need a cornerbacks are TB, Detroit, Minnesota, Washington, and KC. Jackson from Washington will be on the market but he has a big contract and Washington would want draft capital in return. Jones might be the best affordable option for the teams in need of CB help.

Possible deals:

Tampa Bay - Jones+Barton for Anthony Nelson OLB

Detroit - Jones+Goodwin or Eskridge for Josh Pachal

Minnesota - Jones or Coleman for Luiji Vilain

Washington - Commander's choice of our defenisve linemen+Jones+Barton+3rd round pick for Daron Payne and William Jackson.

KC - William Jackson for 2nd round pick

Note: Barton and/or receiver included where injuries have created a need.

Shaq would be a great fit and the price is right. No one else makes any sense.

Right now I can't tell if the D was really better or they looked good against the worse offense in the league. Time on the Cards HC and offense is running out!

No. Just no. Makes no sense to trade away draft capital. We're not in "win now" mode. Heck, I'd be fine with trading some of our veterans if they were worth anything. Anyone willing to send a first rounder for Geno? Might make sense for the Colts. I know Pete would never allow it. But I wish he would.
