Quote:They can trade Joekel now if they wanted to for......?

I don't think Joeckel gets traded before the start of the season. 

 

If he gets traded, it will be a Monroe type trade once Beachum is healthy enough to take the starting role, assuming he beats Joeckel out (not really a stretch, but maybe our LT of the future suddenly feels motivated?).

 

What the team should be hoping for is that Joeckel comes in and makes a real competition of it, but at the end of the day still loses the starting gig.  They'll have good film of him that other teams can use to offer up something...anything in trade.  Will a deal get done?  Probably not, in which case, you've got experienced depth on the bench.
