Trade Deadline 2024 - Nov 5 - 4pm ET

[burgold]

I remember on cut day Carolina signed every single DB that hit the waiver wire. I wonder if there are some cheap options there that could upgrade our secondary?

 

[Voice_of_Reason]

Probably going to take at least a 4th to get anyone decent, even with Forbes etc thrown in

Yeah, 3rds have been changing hands for the receivers.

We do have an extra 3rd (though it was a pick swap) for Dotson. So, maybe that's the pick which gets traded?

 

[Solitary Man]

The Dotson pick from Philly is from Miami. Currently that pick is 8th highest in the 3rd round. But maybe with Tua back they start winning games? Whereas our regular 3rd is obviously towards the bottom of round 3

 

[Bulldog]

Jags, Raiders, Panthers, Browns, Dolphins, Saints, Titans are all teams whose seasons are over.

Given their cap difficulties going forward and veteran laden roster New Orleans might be a good trade partner.

If you are the Saints owner and GM you both have to be looking at taking a quarterback early.

They can get the top pick with a couple of subtractions like we did with Sweat and Young 😃

 

[Solitary Man]

We should be hearing something about the defensive tackle position relatively soon. Whether we elevate one or two players or trade for someone. Mathis had a concussion so we have to assume he is out for this week

 

[burgold]

I wonder if Bulldog left a team off his list. With another bad loss, his QB injured, and an insane salary cap… the Dallas Cowboys may be sellers.

Ego probably prevents them from it, but if they were to face reality they have a couple of DBs that Quinn knows how to get the most out of.

 

[Bulldog]

I didn’t count Dallas or NYG because they are loathe to be seen helping Washington

Should have kept 5 DTs and Rideway and cut Davis back in September.

Unserious Trade Proposal:

We know Dallas has no receiving corp. Their only wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has a bum shoulder. So, what we should do is get Howie on the phone and trade for Jahan Dotson for a conditional seventh rounder and then trade Dotson to Dallas for their third rounder.

Jones would do it. I'm sure of it.

 

[Chris]

Not that Jerry Jones is that type of guy 😉…but I seriously doubt that he would be willing to deal with Washington in any way.

Deadline quickly approaching. Feel like a trade would've been made by now if the talent level met the price of whomever AP was looking at. Maybe the seller(s) are holding out till the last minute hoping a GM will meet their asking price. After decades of not having a legitimate GM it is so refreshing have AP in control.

I totally agree

Another idea - they have (and have had) a plan, and none of the players they feel are available fit their plan.

if that's what they do, trust in GMAP. I'd like a CB and Edge, but not at the cost of the future. What teams have been paying for some guys already hasn't been insane yet.

 

[Boone]

I suspect we stand pat for a couple of reasons. First of all and most importantly, Adam Peters is really a draft guy. He is going to use the draft as the primary tool to rebuild this roster and he is very uninclined to give up draft picks for ANY reason. Secondly, in any trade discussion, he's not going to pull the trigger unless it's a great value for what we are giving up, and there are enough stupid GMs out there who will overpay for just about any player. That makes us winning a bidding war (or even participating in one) extremly unlikely. And then there is the 'fit' aspect that you guys have referenced. We let a very talented Curtis Samuel go with no adequate replacement behind him, and I think it's because they didn't like something about his fit.

The wildcard over the next 24 hours is if there are (as Adam Shefter hinted at yesterday) players who are absolutely adamant about wanting to be traded to Washington. That could create a situation where the only team an agent is interested in dealing with is us, and that could produce a surprise bargain signing.

I still think a significant trade is unlikely and that Peters stands pat.

 

[SkinsFTW]

It's just good to know that for the first time in a very very long time the guys in charge are going to make a strong qualified decision one way or the other.

I do hope they do something though I doubt it's going to be anybody like Miles Garrett, haha.

What if we could get Miles Garrett for the price Chicago payed for Sweat or San Francisco paid for Chase?

 

[Bulldog]

I don't think Cleveland would make that deal.

But I agree with the argument that teams are not getting #1 or #2 dratt picks for these trade deadline deals.

Most clubs are looking to acquire solid veterans that fill a hole and selling teams are looking to get some value for guys that are likely not be back in 2025.

When I see folks talk about not trading away the future, I don't think sending a #5 pick or similar for a veteran to help us in 2024 is mortgaging the future.

We can't be so cap obsessed that we basically cede the NFC East to the emerging Eagles given the season Daniels and the team have had.

If you hit on Daniels at quarterback and Coleman at left tackle, that takes TWO of the most expensive positions in the NFL off the table in re the cap for the next 2-3 years.

So, let's not freak about trading a middle round pick as if it somehow means we aren't going to be able to bring in talent in 2025.

Whether fans freak out or not isn't really the issue. The question is, will Adam Peters pull the trigger?

It would silly for me to pretend I know who is out there that would be available and for what price. I haven’t a clue.

But I’m in the same boat - in Peters I trust. If we make a move it’s because he thought it best, if not the reasoning is the same.

I get people are exited at the start. I also understand you don’t try to be too clever, you work with the situation you’re in at the moment. But I still think all this playoff contender talk is silly. I still don’t think we have a defense that can hold a legit offense to under 30. We still have a rookie qb - as magical as he is, playoffs are hard on rookies. So I personally don’t give two craps about the playoffs - I want us to get there and win, I won’t be upset if we don’t. So to me, it’s more important to stick with the plan than to suddenly think we’re 1 player away from a trophy.
