Trade deadline approaching...

Since DE’s don’t grow on trees, I would sign both, trade Payne next year for a high 1st, draft OL, MLB and another DT.

I don't think they can get a high first for Payne. That would be awesome if they could but interior DL value can be had beyond the first so I don't see a club parting with that pick.

Would you trade Sweat for a good starting OT? I would. That is the type of trade we should be looking for, either by current player or high draft choice in 2024.

I don't think anyone is advocating making a trade just for the sake of making a trade.

For me only if it is a good starting LT

When you pay someone like Payne and Hargrave over $90 mil they better be worth a 1st. Payne has playing well and would hate to lose him, but would rather have proven DE’s. SF traded Buckner for a high 1st (top 10).

No team is going to give up a good starting LT for a DE.

It shouldn't hinge on this game. Our season is done for and anybody else holding onto hope is just deluding themselves. It's obvious these players have not bought into this coaching staff. Plainly obvious.

If I were the owner, I would probably green-light Sweat/Chase being shipped off for picks or needed OL. I seriously doubt we get much in return. Hell, at this point, Sweat will net us more in return than for Chase. We aren't signing either one next year so why not get something in return.

Abso-fucking-lutely I would.

This.


No way, no how. It would have to be a stud DE to make that happen.

ROFL. This ain't fucking Madden.

You wouldn't even net a 2nd rounder for Payne, especially with that contract he has. LOL@ remotely thinking of a first. Some of you guys live in fantasy land. Payne was never worth that contract to begin with, as I mentioned before.

Let me guess you probably think Javon Hargrave is a better player than Payne. Hargrave was the most coveted FA this offseason and got a similar
Contract to Payne’s (6 mil less). Their stats are pretty similar and Payne is younger than Hargrave. I agree, no one is worth that much, it takes one idiot owner to set the market. And yes Indy gave a 1st rounder for Buckner and Payne is on par or better.

I guess it's always possible that some moron would give up a 1st for Payne. I mean look what the Broncos gave up for Russ or what Browns gave up for Watson. Sure, you might get some dumbasses out there that would do it, but for the most part it's not going to happen. I agree with you that all it takes is one idiot owner to set the market.

That said, no, there isn't a comparison between Buckner and Payne. Payne has totaled 26 sacks in his first 5 years in the league. Buckner had a total of 38. Yeah, the two aren't close IMO. Payne had ONE fantastic year and the rest were pretty meh if that. Sure he's been a good run stopper but didn't generate enough pressure up the middle IMO. Buckner was also 1st team all-pro in 2020.

Sell. Sell. Sell. Lets build draft capital. Gibson, Samuel and Fuller on their last years. Trade em all. Trade Sweat or Young. Certainly not for a third like the Falcons offered for Sweat. Trade em but do not get fleeced.
