I was disappointed and skeptical about this trade. Chandler is a really solid DE just hitting his prime years. Good against the run and pass. Very likeable player too. He was a draft binky of mine and when we got him on draft day I was immediately a fan. I thought he'd be a staple on our defense for many years to come.
Long story short, we wouldn't have been able to afford him at the end of this season so we traded him for picks. We got Joe Thuney, Jonathan Cooper, and Malcolm Mitchell in return. Cooper is a total bust but Mitchell and Thuney have both turned out better than expected.
We got Chris Long on the cheap and Trey Flowers is turning into a stud so the loss of Chandler hasn't been a big deal.
