With all kinds of wild trade rumors being tossed around, I floated a hypothetic (and very, very unlikely) trade with the Giants for Jason Pierre-Paul, meant purely for speculation. Andy Johnson had this provocative reply:

An interesting idea. It could certainly change the type of defensive edge player that BB looks for in the draft. Thoughts?
There has been some internet speculation that Mark Barron might be available for trade:

Probably far-fetched. But if you buy Andy's argument that "the base is dead" and that the challenge is to "figure out how to stop the run from the nickel", then the idea of trading for Mark Barron might actually make sense. Assume that you have a core group 4 linemen, Collins and Hightower as the LBs, Barron as a LB/S, and 4 additional DBs. Akeem Ayers becomes a sub rusher, as well as depth at LB.
An interesting idea.
