Trade Deadline Targets

[Pokerbrat2000]

Nahhhhh...I keep reading this as a trade rumor...makes no sense, the Packers don't have the cap space this year or next year to pay him.

 

[Pkrjones]

Pass x 1,000!!!!! Cost/yds of production makes him a super-bust, no thanks!

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

So we have all been talking about players we would like for the Packers to trade for. What if a deal came along for a solid TE, WR or DT that required us to trade a young player. Obviously the details of player and money are important, but are there Packers you would part with if the right deal came along?

First rule: Nobody can say Kevin King.

I'm thinking possibly Lazard or MVS if it's a WR we are getting in trade.

A young OLineman?

Lazard is a RFA in '22 so would probably have a bit more value than UFA MVS...but Lazard is a really, REALLY good blocker which the Packers like.
Since the front office can find good interior OL's could see possibly parting with Newman, Runyan or even Patrick if we get a good #2 WR in return.

I think between now and 3 PM tomorrow, there is actually a good chance the Packers make a trade.

I would imagine the only thing we do is maybe a 4th or higher pick for some TE. I don’t see a trade for a high end WR, maybe a better DL but I doubt it.

I think a new thread on who we sit if and when some of the IR guys come back will be interesting soon.

I think we could spend a pick, even a high one. The Packers limitation is worse, it's cap space, this season and next. If there is a trade, it's going to have to be very cap friendly.

As far as who sits, 2 spots have already been cleared with Tonyan and Hill's season ending injuries. Taylor or Winfree, or both back down to PS.

I know it’s probably a stupid thought, but we could probably get Sternburger back cheap and he would be the one guy that MIGHT be able to step in and help a bit. Yeah, I’m ready for the comments

The thought crossed my mind too, but I think there were good reasons why they kept Dafney and Kafusi on the team and cut Jace. Those 2 guys are still options, so it wouldn't make much sense, especially since he hasn't even seen the field as a member of that team formerly known as a football team.

Evan Engram or bust. Although, I noticed he played tonight, so I doubt a trade for him is on the table or at least not close to being worked out.

Matt LeFleur says they are trying desperately to make a trade. We'll see. However, he's probably not aware that tynimiller says the Packers do not have the cap money available to make a trade.

The team has been fairly active in all avenues the past season or 2, so we could see something, but I read that article and it's read like an answer I'd hear any time of the year. Basically said "they're working hard" so I don't think it means anything more than any other time they ask the question. They always "working hard"

 

[milani]

Thats exactly what I was thinking. I like all the positions mentioned. But by far TE has become an instant priority and I’d offer that it’s not even a close debate right now.
It’s become such an important position in this league and nearly all the top contenders have a really good pass catching TE (or 2). If you think about it, Our Offense operated near its peak when Tonyan elevated his game. When Tonyan dropped off some, so did our propensity to be efficient near the end zone.

The second option for me is another bonafide WR that would demand attention from our opponent. That’s a 180 change from me wanting a Defender. Rodgers has earned the right to get a weapon without asking. That’s also a 180 change for me.

I think Gute will stand pat this time. Could be reasons for it.

a lack of tap room and not as much ammo as many other teams with draft picks will probably prevent them from doing anything major.

Agreed on the "anything major" part. I have to laugh at some of the "articles" out there that speculate trades. Many of them forget the fact that the Packers are a cap strapped team and play out scenarios of the Packers trading for guys they can't even come close to affording.

At least we all aren't sitting around talking about a 3-5 Packers team and if this is the time to trade Rodgers.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

The Rams are trying to dump DeSean Jackson on anyone who will take him. Although I can't see them giving him away to an NFC rival like GB. He would be affordable and probably a 6th or 7th rounder gets him, but his attitude might be a no sale for the Packers.

What's so frustrating about players in their second year and older, is not knowing the plays or where to line up. That tells me that they are either dense or not studying their playbook well enough. DeGuara had almost the entire 2020 season on IR to study and watch film. Considering what these guys are paid, if they don't do that part of their job, I have no sympathy.

According to Rodgers, Deguara was the cause of that delay of game at the goal line in Arizona.

Yes and that is not a good way to get on AR's good side. I kind of understood Winfree's confusion at times, but come on Deguara? They do say that TE is one of the most difficult positions in the type of offense that MLF runs, but he needs to be better.

Evan Engram would be a welcome surprise in a trade. Anyone know why Burton and Eifert have been sitting as FA's all year?

Anyone know why Burton and Eifert have been sitting as FA's all year?

"Former Jags Offensive Coordinator Jay Gruden coached Eifert as a rookie, when both were with the Bengals. As the tight end evolved, Gruden saw a guy who can change a game…but one also hampered by injuries that had affected his career.

“He makes some flashes,” Gruden said of Eifert in early December.

“He’s done some good things for us. Like I said, he’s kind of been beat up his whole career, unfortunately. He’s had a lot of different nagging injuries. When I saw him as a rookie right out of college, he’s a little bit different than he is now. He’s older obviously. He’s had those injuries, the back, the foot, the knee.

“All these injuries kind of had a little bit wear and tear on him, but he definitely still can come in and out of cuts. He’s got great hands. He’s got a great feel for the game, so yeah, I think there’s still a lot of good football left in Tyler.”

Grading the Jaguars 2020 Free Agents: Tight End Tyler Eifert

As the Jacksonville Jaguars gear up for 2021 NFL free agency, we look back on the FA's signed before the 2020 season and grade their impact on the Jaguars. First up, tight end Tyler Eifert.

Eifert might be a great 12-game pickup if used for 30-40% of snaps when needed.

Melvin Ingram to Chiefs for a 6th rounder

Melvin Ingram to Chiefs for a 6th rounder

We can only hope his plane is delayed until next Monday. He may not be up to speed by Sunday and it isn't nearly as big as what the Rams did yesterday with getting Von Miller.

i'm sure they can put him in on 3rd down passing situations just to put pressure on rodgers. he wouldn't necessarily need to be "up to speed" if his only job is to try to sack rodgers.

Seems to be the most logical need right now. I wouldn't trade much for any of those options, but Engram would be my first choice. Hollister for a 7th round, might make more sense. He would be cheap ($425 K'ish) and he wasn't too bad when given an opportunity in Seattle.

 

[jetfixer]

If healthy I could see us picking up Eifert, but the front office may see our backups better. If we stand pat at CB I will feel good about Alexander's health.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Texans trade DE Charles Omenihu to the #49ers in exchange for a future late-rounder. Sounds like the Chiefs had been interested in him as well. Loved him coming out of college (Texas), but he didn't do much in the NFL.
