CB Xavien Howard... should we?

Seems like it’s a rare Occurrence when a team can afford to have two shut down corners being paid accordingly on the roster. While it would certainly help for this season, it would certainly set a course of not having Lattimore and Williams in the future. That, along with the picks/players needed makes it iffy.

The time to win should always be NOW. There's no way to read the future. We could be decimated by injuries in the coming years. There's no telling.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

True, but I’m not sure making that trade puts the team over the top to win this season more so than a trade for a dominant DT, or WR say. If you are Taking on that contract and draft capital commitment then I would look around a bit first.

And this player you want to trade for sounds like the “two in the bush” to me as it will take multiple draft picks/players to get the bird.

Not saying I want to trade for him specifically. I'm just saying I'm all in on trading picks now for whomever will help. And if we make the right moves that pick will be later in the round and worth far less.
