2019 NFL Trade Deadline


Point Beer Is Best

The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday, October 29th at 4pm. While the NFL action pales in comparison to what we see in MLB, and the Packers have tended to not do deadline trades in recent years, what are some targets that could entice the team to pull the trigger on?

 

One name that's been mentioned a few times has been Emmanuel Sanders. With Denver starting out 0-4 and Sanders in the final year of his contract, he's a guy that may make some sense for a late round pick with the depth issues at the position in Green Bay.

They should try to nab AJ Green if he's healthy. What a huge piece that could be for this offense.
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

They need a slot WR if anything. Watching the Cowboys it sucks not having a reliable/good slot receiver (Cobb). I don't hate the current group of guys, but none really excel in the slot. Not saying they should have brought Cobb back, but I think they lack a dimension on offense without a guy in that form. Allison, to me, is not a slot guy.

I think they were kind of banking on Kumerow being that guy, but he's been hurt.

What has Cobb done to make you miss him?

 

He plays the slot, something we don't really have. I don't really miss him specifically per say...I usually don't miss injury prone players too much. He has been big for the Cowboys as a slot receiver though.

 

Middle of the field just feels like it is missing someone. Graham is fine, but he is a TE and doesn't move off the line too fast. Allison was touted as a guy perfect for the LaFleur offense as a slot...can't say that has happened.

He is a nice target if healthy & I like the idea of AJ Green playing in a division other than the AFC North.

But how much are the Packers willing to give up and why is Cinci looking to deal Green??

Green is basically a rental, and the Bengals are terrible. It makes perfect sense to sell him to the highest bidder.

They’ll likely get a 3rd rounder as compensation if he leaves, so I assume the asking price would be at least a 3rd rounder (which converts the uncertainty of a compensatory to a known commodity).

The draft pick for losing Green would be a 2021 pick, while a trade now would almost certainly be for a 2020 pick (plus you remove him from the comp pick formula equation if Cincy went wild in free agency). They are definitely better off right now moving him. But I'm sure it'll take a 4th from New England and it'll get done because teams absolutely love to help the Pats get better for some reason.

Just a few hours left to go. There seems to have been more activity this year than in recent memory, but so far no action that includes the Packers.

 

I think if they make a move today, the name will be an underwhelming sort like ILBs Preston Brown (Bengals) or Alec Ogletree (Giants). Those hoping for a big name WR I think are going to be disappointed. Of course, Gute is much more unpredictable than TT.

I'd be cool with an MLB and a return guy.

I never quite understand why NFL teams don't just unload their players at the trade deadline when they have no chance in competing. I mean, why not grab as many picks and such as you can for players that have no future with you?

NFL GMs are playing checkers for the most part, while smart MLB GMs are playing chess.

I think the salary cap plays a big role in how many trades can take place.

A lot of times you'll get comp picks for these guys who leave. Makes it not really worth unloading guys for mid to late round picks unless you think you're getting back more than what you would otherwise.

I think bad teams also tend to overvalue their own assets ... hence why they are bad.

Kinda makes the Packers' decision to deal Clinton-Dix for a 4th at least year's deadline look like a great move. Of course that 4th was used as part of the package to move up for Savage, which is looking like a very solid move.
