Re: 2024 Trade Deadline - Who Goes?
Alex Anzalone is 30 y/o, injury prone his entire time here, and overrated. Kaden Ellis is playing well, but nowhere near the level Davis has played over the last three years. Cam Jordan fell off a good minute ago. Shy Tuttle isn’t good. Ravens fans complain about Marcus Williams just as much as ours did while he was here. Baun should have never been drafted into this scheme. Loomis special there. Trey was always hurt just like Davenport. I can let that slide as an honest mistake. He’s the biggest loss imo.

Re: 2024 Trade Deadline - Who Goes?
One I keep "hearing" is Chase Young. Another is Granderson.

Re: 2024 Trade Deadline - Who Goes?
Only a couple of men I'd like to build around ...
Alontae Taylor and Granderson. Everyone else can go. I think Latt is gone before today's trade deadline. |

Re: 2024 Trade Deadline - Who Goes?
If the next coach will want to bring his guys, who are some good coaching candidates out of the CFL, USFL, or FCS? Because thats who we can afford to bring in during a rebuild. One big problem with the startegy of trying to cheat the salary cap is that your roster becomes inflexible, you either keep the guys you have or you eat massive dead cap to rebuild. We cant cut a bunch of vets and sign a bunch of free agents who better fit a new system first year. That is part of why Kubiak failed. He had to use fragile finesse Payton players in a smash mouth shannahan offense and although it worked for two weeks, they all broke their ribs and it was not sustainable.

Re: 2024 Trade Deadline - Who Goes?
I dont think we will trade Lattimore because the cap savings will be minimal, the return will be minimal, and designating him a post-june-1 cut in march or extending him (which I hope we dont do) could offer more cap flexibility. He could be traded but we have not often seen Loomis make a move to take the heat and criticism to do the right thing and move on.
Chase Young is on a 1 year deal anyway so i hope we trade him. But if we dont, we may get comp picks when he moves on in the offseason anyway. Juwon Johnsons contract voids also. We could trade him or get comp picks if he moves on. Foster Moreau is very tradable. His contract has never been reatructured and actually offers the most cap relief to trade. I like him, but a trade could be a smart move. If David, Jordan, or Mathieu would want to play for a contender we owe it to them but I doubt it happens. Not sure anyone would want Jordan. Mathieu and Davis are no longer great but could be useful pieces to a contender with a need. I would not mind moving Bresee but I doubt they will because it wouod admit failure. He is a bust who turns every opposing RB into prime AP. I do think another team would take a chance on Olave for a 4th or 5th if they believe their offense and QB could avoid hospital balls. But it would be admitting failure. I think its more likely we make the horrible mistake of paying him than the wise choice to move on. If his career can recover its not in this offense with this QB. |

Re: 2024 Trade Deadline - Who Goes?
That's it. Our lone trade was one that has essentially been in the works since last December. No mid-season sell-off as some may have hoped. We have exactly the same roster given Lattimore's inability to get onto the field that we had a week ago. Minus a head coach, of course.
