We could have an addition or two.

We could lose a player or two (tomorrow or by week's end)

Certainly, one or more of these could be gone: Thornton, Bourne, Sow, Osborne, Jon Jones, Wise, Sow, Dugger

I do expect us to add a tackle.
 
You’ve got Sow on there twice. Tell us how you really feel. I don’t see any additional moves to be made. Getting rid of Wise or Jones wouldn’t be good for the locker room. A Dugger trade just doesn’t make any sense. How do you go from liking a guy so much that you extended him to trading him in the same year when you have very little depth at the position? Sow and Osborne aren’t going to net you anything. Id honestly be shocked if anyone wanted them. Bourne is the one guy that even though they re-signed him also, I could see being traded. Idk why, partly his personality and partly that he could probably generate the most interest. As far as trading for guys, just look at another teams scrap heap and you might be able to guess a few guys.
 
Why would you trade picks when we're going to be picking in the top 3?

This team is going nowhere in 2024, unless you're getting someone in their mid 20's who has a chance to be a 5 year player for the team with a chance to be a pro bowler i'm not giving away any picks.

The ship has sailed, no one is giving up a starting tackle with the age profile we need.
 
The only way I would want us to be buyers is if it is a guy who may become available in free agency that we would target, and his current team is looking to get something for him now before he walks for free in March.

Jedrick Wills has been somewhat of a disappointment on a very disappointing team in Cleveland. I think he just recently got benched in favor of Dawand Jones (a tackle many of us on here wanted in the 4th round a year ago), and Cleveland is very likely to blow it all up and rebuild. Offer a late rounder and get a half season’s worth of a look at him and see if there is anything there. I would assume a guy like Walker Little down in Jacksonville is in the same boat. High pick, started some games but mainly a disappointment.

Other than that, they should be sellers and stock up on late rounders for ammo to move around on day 3 of the draft unless they want to swap one disappointing player for another team's version of the same.

I would trade players only to use them as trade chip to get other players for this remainder of season. We need wide receivers and tackles to try out .

Obviously not trading a first probably not even a second.

Just out of memory I think WRs and pass rushers tend to be the players traded at the deadline.

If we could get a pretty good one of those with a 3rd Rd pick I would consider it. They'd have to have 2025 at least left on their deal or willing to resign now.

So I wouldn't expect anything but you have to consider everything. We can't just keep passing on chances to bring in talent.
 
maybe a 3rd for tee higgins and getting his contract. its pretty low but how many will fork anything greater than 3rd for an injured wr.

So few player for player swaps anymore but I wouldn't have an issue swapping one distressed asset for another. Always that small chance that a change of scenery jumpstarts a guy's career.

he wants a raise... that might be an issue here

They allegedly were willing to pay up for Aiyuk and made a completive offer to Ridley.
