Yeldon may yield some trade value to a team like the Giants or Packers at some point during the pre-season. We might be able to swing him for a 5th or 6th. Nothing more or less than that though. Which is why I don't see him being traded. He's better off where he's at on the roster. 

 

As far as the Raiders needing an ILB. Paul fits the mold that Jack Del Rio looks for. But then that leaves us with lack of experience, leadership and a SAM LB on our roster.

 

Unless Blair Brown just comes into training camp and pre season lighting everybody up over the middle, not blowing assignments and misses only one or two tackles I don't see a trade happening.

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king."

Just read on PFT that the Raiders need a middle linebacker. The Jags just happen to have a good one in Poz who would otherwise be shifted to a part time role at SAM. Blair Brown could fill that role. JDR probably likes Poz very much. Trades of aging veterans rarely reap much, but maybe this is an outler.

 

The other player who might bring more than he's worth to the Jags is Yeldon. Barring injury he is the 3rd string running back on the Jags. Are there any teams that still need a RB?

 

Given the fact that you started this topic and realistically speaking, what exactly do YOU think we could get in return for Poz and Yeldon?

Thank goodness you've been considering it.


Unfortunately, I doubt very seriously that the team is..


In fact, I would be really surprised to see this team making any sort of trade moves from this point forward to opening day.

I can see the Chargers perhaps giving up a 5th round pick for Yeldon. He's a young, ascending player with some very impressive highlights.

This is the only highlights collection he's got...

"You do your own thing in your own time. You should be proud."

people need to understand that, given the fact that we averaged winning 3.6 games per season over the past 5 years, there's really not a huge market out there of teams looking to obtain the Jags players that are aging or listed as 3rd team on our depth chart.

Melvin and Danny. No need for them to waste any picks on Yeldon.

Did you even bother to look at his stats before calling him an ascending player with some very impressive highlights?

 

Ascending would at least imply that he improved statistically from year 1 to year 2.  He actually went down in every rushing category except games played, where he actually went up 3 games from 12 to 15.  Maybe ascending means something different on the left coast kind of like toilet water spinning counterclockwise south of the equator.  Can you enlighten us all on how statistics trending downward can be considered ascending?

 

Yeldon and I have about the same trade value.  Nobody is out there trying to craft a trade deal for our third string running back.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Yeldon is a bust. He is too slow to be an NFL running back. Unfortunately, that has been obvious since nearly the minute he stepped on the field.

LOL.  The Madden force is high in this thread.

Woodhead plays for the Ravens. Either way, I still can't see the Chargers ever wanting Yeldon.

Sorry dude but Caldwell traded Gabbert.

Poz will not be traded.  You don't trade our best MLB when don't know what we have in Jack.

Man I was rooting for you to form a sentence. Oh well...

Yeldon...ascending? Are you trolling?

well the coriolis effect doesn't effect masses as small as toilet water. That's a myth. Moral of the story is; ascending means the same everywhere on the planet and Yeldon fails to fall into that category. However I do think some teams would pick him up... if we cut him. That's about it.

Neither Yeldon or Posluszny are going anywhere. Yeldon will provide rb depth and help on 3rd down. Posluszny is still a good lb against the run and there would be a significant drop off at sam lb. Who would play Sam if Posluszny were to be traded or injured? Dave Caldwell
already said Blair Brown doesn't have the length to play Sam

I'd say at least a 5th for Poz. Didn't we trade a 5th for Morrison?* Most people here considered it a good deal at the time. Poz is much better, albeit older. Trading Poz would leave a hole at SAM, but most of the time he'd be replaced by an extra DB and he's probably gone next year anyway.


 

I'm not sure if Yeldon has much trade value, but there are teams needing a RB and he was a high 2nd round pick who hasn't completely stunk it up. Some GM might see him as a good player who has been limited by the Jags OL and offensive scheme. Maybe that's even true, but he's stuck at 3rd on the depth chart here.


 

 

 

*I looked it up. We traded a 4th for Morrison and a 5th.

5th Rounder for Poz is reasonable for a contending team.  With 133 tackles in each of the past 2 seasons he could definitely benefit a team with playmakers at OLB. 

 

Yeldon was drafted too high so I'd ignore the 2nd round tag that he has on him.  He kind of fits the Steelers style with being patient as the blocks develop and could serve as a very poor man's Le'Veon Bell. 

 

Geez -- perhaps they could package both to the Steelers (POZ returns home to Pittsburgh) for a late 4th rounder.  Probably not worth it to us and they'd never give up a late 3rd rounder for them.  Oh well ....

Thats basically what i said. But fans seem to think its all good.

Dante Fowler?


 

Maybe Audie Cole? I don't see much in the way of pass rushing on his resume, but he's certainly got the length for it.


 

Also, there's a young LB names Marcus Rush on the roster who may just fit at SLB. Word of of San Francisco is that we stole him off the 49ers PS. Apparently he was a Preseason hit with his ability to get after the QB as a LB.


 

I'm even wondering about Jonathan Woodard who can certainly rush out of the spot although I'm not sure he's done much in the way of coverage.
