In the Starting Line-Up
The Stafford thread got me dreaming about trades again. Heres some questions for my fellow Pats fans.
Staying realistic (lookin’ at you Cousin!). When you look at your projected opening day roster, where do you see the biggest need? Who are some guys out there that are possible trade targets that could fill that need due to contract issues, declined 5th year option, possible cut due to other team being fully stocked at a position? Anyone care to make some predictions on trades between now and wks 1-4? Who are guys you could see the Pats flipping for another player or some draft picks?
CIN- Jonah Williams (LT/RT) - Last year of deal. 5th yr not picked up. Player who hasn’t lived up to potential but would be nice to bring in and see if you can make something out of him. If CIN finds they dont need him, maybe you could swap a player or pick. Would free up 12M for CIN.
JAX- K’Lavon Chaisson (OLB) - I really loved him during the draft. I am very surprised he’s had such a tough go of it since entering the league. Former 1st rd pick, all the tools physically. This all hinges on future plans for Uche. Cant help but feel like Bill is gonna let him play out the year, sign big bucks and get a comp pick. Might as well see if you can get his replacement on the team now.
CHI- Jaylon Johnson (CB) - This is a guy you won’t get for cheap. Contract year, some injury issues last tear but has proven he is a starter in this league. Is probably going to want some $$ and if the Bears drafts over the last few years are any indication, they don't want to pay him. Young but experienced and would add some young veteran leadership to the DB group. Maybe you could get him with a solid pick offer and player?
