<p style="color:rgb(41,47,51);font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">The most active market is at DE. Names teams are interested in: Vinny Curry, Willie Young, Jeremy Mincey. Will their teams let them go?
Willie Young plz, we know Caldwell brought him in for a visit when he was a FA

Any players on our roster that would deem worthy for a player for player trade? I'm not sure what the Bears weaknesses are.
Quote:Mincey would be an upgrade.
No he wouldn't. Now go away while the grown ups discuss football.

The only player I would say that is tradeable that the Bears may want is D.McCray but I doubt we give him up

They could use a RB with Forte injured, but Pierce/Gerhart don't have enough value for a 1:1 swap.

I would rather have Mincey than Branch.

Gerhart and a 6th for Willie
Kruger from the brownies probably could be had for a 6th straight up. Brownies even willing to eat some contract.
Quote:I don't see any logical reasons we should make a trade. Caldwell is committed to building through the draft. As Vic used to say, picks not players. It's not like we are one player away from competing for the Super Bowl.
I get that "concept", but next season is DC's 4th year. 6th and 7th rounders *shouldn't* be making this roster at that point, especially if we continue to add more players through FA (like he claimed was the plan before). One of our 7th rounders was on PS all season long and the other was cut. Bennett has barely played as a 6th rounder. Storm Johnson, our 7th rounder last season has been cut. Jeremy Harris is gone, and McCray is buried in the depth chart.
We got a 6th rounder from Pittsburgh in addition to our own.
I wouldn't part ways for a rental, but if a guy that still has promise and is productive can be had especially at pass rush where we are in dire dire needs, you make the deal.
Not looking like we will see any last minute trades...but I could be wrong :-p
Quote:So you really really must value 5th round picks with this comment. Haha.
Just caught that. I don't feel too bad considering you went along with it.
Your logic of Dave Caldwell having a 1/3 chance of hitting a Telvin Smith type player in the 5th is complete nonsense. Saying those are "just facts" is just silly. Thats like saying if that had been Caldwell's first draft, he would have a 100% chance of selecting a Telvin Smith type player in the 5th.
I walked to my mailbox this morning. I was on pace to circumnavigate the planet. Just stating facts.
Are there any CFL pass rushers that we can sign or trade for?
Quote:Not sure about the CFL, but how about Trumaine Sykes from the Jacksonville Sharks?
He's in his mid 30s already, so that ship has sailed. Nice guy though.

6'4" 275 lbs, defense lineman of the year a couple of times. Sign him Caldwell.
This thread is pretty funny. I'm not even going to keep track of rumors.
Less than 5% chance we make a trade.

You're being generous by going that high.
Quote:Just heard Jason Mccourty is available. Would definitely do this.
lol. Anybody you don't want?

I'm pretty sure he wouldn't trade anything for Chad Henne.
Oh, wait.
Now that LeVeon is out for the year, I thought we could get a 6th rounder from the Steelers for Gerhert.
Oh wait, we already have that pick from the Scobee deal.
7th rounder (??) for a dude that most likely has at least another 60 yards to give this season (if he can get a minimum of 30 carries) ?
