Players GB Could Trade Away

[Firethorn1001]

How old is Parsons? What is he making now?

Will be 26. 5th year option is around $24M, but he is going to want to be paid and the price is probably going to be $30M+

Pass. They are going to need DBs.

Only 26, wow. I agree he is going to be looking for $30 mil/year. He's not a match for GB because 1) the current LB group is playing well and isn't a cap problem, 2) it would take draft picks to get Parsons and that almost never works out, and 3) to your point, offseason effort by Gluten needs to be rebuilding the CB group. He did it with the safeties. Get a solid FA and draft well, again.

CB is the weakest link on the D. There's JA and then everyone else, just guys. And JA doesn't suit up much. It's time for a rework. Some guys will come back, but everyone in that group is expendable.

In fact JA could be trade material but who would pay him? Maybe the Raiders, Jets, or Bears?

Jaire would cost any team getting him less than $20M a year as essentially his base plus some other things are all they'd be paying and he is well worth that. Shoot Jaire is worth his $25.8M (2025) and $27.8M (2026) when it comes to caliber of CB he is. Issue with Jaire is solely availability.

The issue Green Bay has with the mindset of trading Jaire - which to be fair perhaps a new scene for both sides would be a good thing, is we have arguably no CB2 let alone anyone to take over CB1.

Everyone knows I am not against the thought of trading Jaire...but only to the AFC as I want to never face him or very rarely because this dude is one of the best and still couple years from being 30.

How much longer does JA have on his contract? He is very good when he plays, but he doesn't play. And because he's been hurt so much, when he does play he's afraid to wrap up a ball carrier.

Gluten needs to remake the CB group as he did with the Safeties last year. If someone will take on JA's cap hit, that and any draft pick would be worth the trade imo. Just like when P. Smith was traded to the Steelers.

You're right on all accounts re: JA. As far as I'm concerned, there's JA and just a bunch of guys. Gluten will address that in the offseason.

 

[El Guapo]

The best thing about what Gutekunst has done recently is that he has continually worked to get us to the point this coming offseason where our cap will be able to afford getting some players. Good bye Aaron Rodgers and David Bahktiari contracts.

Like I said there are always a few teams economically foolish enough to make the trade. The GM just has to watch when teams are vulnerable. Remember the Herschel Walker trade. I honestly think JA may have a short career. Physically, he cannot hold up play after play, game after game. When he got hurt against the Steelers in 2021 he did not come back until January and was useless in that playoff game.

Honestly in this day and age less than twenty million for half a season and playoffs for a CB1 is arguably a deal.

I don’t want to make that case but legit case the way the league is

Dissagree with that statement. Our Corners even sans Jaire look pretty damn passable when our pass rush doesn't suck. And it's sucked for long stretches this year

Edge rusher is the weak link on the D. Get a legit stud rusher and alot of the concerns about the CB room fade

 

[OldSchool101]

As for Watson as trade bait, I just don't think he's worth much - not now anyway. Then again, if Jerry would take the deal you proposed, I'd be ecstatic.

I have Watson a tick above MVS. Several seasons ago MVS got a 3X30M

So lets just guess he’s in that
3X40+ Which means he’s going to play which = he’s going to get us a 4th/5th rounder. Could also just wait for that Comp pick

Gluten has traded players but mostly for draft picks or because they were problem children Randall trade.
He generally doesn’t trade player for player he likes those draft picks.

Do lets just guess he’s in that
3X40-50Mil.

His production is insanely high. Had he not had the health issues his production defends the fact he is in that group of his class that people are saying will get the bag. He is not a WR3 or depth guy level guy like MVS

Yeah and even trading P Smith this year added some significant future cap room. My guess is that he spends big on a FA CB in the offseason and then focuses CB in the draft. A solid Edge guy would be welcome as well. Depends on how much he wants to spend, who is available, and the price.

Yeah even at his current level of play - promising but inconsistent - he's way above MVS. I'd like to see MLF draw up some plays that get Watson open on routes in the middle of the field. He's proven he can get separation on long routes, and he can work the sideline very well. Getting him the ball in stride where he can get some serious YAC is next. That's also his path to becoming a #1 WR. He's not there yet.
