Interesting thread, Ruhskins. I'll try to be realistic in terms of which players we can live without, actually have value, and wouldnt create an enormous cap hit.

Santana Moss - He only has one or two productive years left and could be enticing to teams who feel they are contenders in 2009 and 2010. We are probably 3 years away at best, so i'd attempt to trade him.
Required Compensation: 2nd OR a 3rd and 4th.

Jason Campbell - The only way would consider trading Campbell is if we draft Sanchez. Even then, the compensation would need to be good. If not, i'd rather keep Campbell and have he and Sanchez compete for the job. Its possible Campbell would win the job, play well and increase his trade value in 2010. We could then trade franchise and Campbell or trade Sanchez for a 1st round pick (or more) in 2010.
Required Compensation: 2nd OR a 3rd and 4th

Chris Horton - Yes, i made this argument earlier, and no one agreed with me, but I stand by it now. Horton and Landry are both Strong Safeties and starting Horton at SS means were forced to play Landry at SS. We have good safety depth now, but i'd consider offers for Horton if we used those picks to upgrade our lines. Kareem Moore (FS) and Landry (SS) is a better safety tandem than Landry (FS) and Horton (SS). Also, Horton and Doughty are very similar players, except Horton has trade value and Doughty doesnt. Yes, i know Horton was THE highlight of last years draft class, but i'm confident we could turn that 7th round pick into a 3rd rounder this year.
Required Compensation High 3rd rounder or no deal.

Golston, Montgommery, or Alexander Its nice to have all three of these guys, but i don't see all three resigning with us when their contracts expire over the next couple years. All three are potential rotational starters, but now that we have Haynesworth, they will each see far more limited duty. It would be wise to move one of them now. Compensation would vary depending on the player, but I wouldnt let any of them go for a 5th or 6th round pick.
Required Compensation: 3rd for Golston, 4th for the other two.
