Historically THIS is the week when Bill goes to the market and sells his surpluses and grabs his needs. So since we have about 10 days before an even MORE meaningless game, I though its time to speculate on some trades that can benefit us while easing some of the positional pressures to the roster.
1. Elandon Roberts and a 7th round pick for Cameron Braite
Justification - Roberts is a starting quality run defender who has been made redundant by Bentley who has a higher upside, is younger, and cheaper. Braite is a proven TE who has been made redundant by OJ Howard. Good cap space move for the Bucs and we have the space to take him on.
Result - Say goodbye to Lacosse (can't make the club from the tub), Kendrick and Saubert. Braite and Izzo make the roster and we will see where we are come October when Watson returns.
2. Mike Pennell for draft picks...any draft picks. It looks like Pennell is Danny Shelton 2.0. A good player who is having trouble fitting this scheme. It took Shelton a full year to get it and right now Pennell is standing in the way of Bryan Cowart. The guy was a proven run stopper in the Jets system. Lets do him a solid and ship him to a better place for him....and us
3. This is my self serving trade to protect my Binky. Assuming Chung will be back with the team to start the season, and all reports seem to confirm that, I'm trading Daron Harmon to a team that needs a starting FS. Now Harmon's been a decent back up and 3rd Safety, but he's not special. But he DOES have that 3 ring pedigree and would be an asset to a team that is thin at safety. This time I'm looking for a 4th or better on this trade
OK, that's a start. Critique mine, add yours and let's have some fun. All you need is a fertile imagination.... and some balls to pull the trigger.
Like the first two trades. Regarding the third:
Both of the McCortney twins and Chung are now 32 years old. With both of our starting safeties already 32, jettisoning the 28 year old Harmon in favor of some unproven rookies would not seem wise to me. Let's keep Harmon, keep the rookies, and dump weight somewhere else perhaps?
