The same reason why most guys are traded for: there may be competition for him and you want to wrap him up for yourself.

You could also re-sign LDT when you trade for him. That's typical with many trades; it's what we did with Clark.

This! He has been posting this stupid Pats shit since Training camp. :doh!:

I think the Chiefs should just ride that last cheap Pat year as is and worry about an extension come the option year.

I think Watkins can be moved for a 3rd, Jones should get an extension if he can continue to show he can play DE and Ldt should come back on a paycut.

Ogbah can hit the free market and I really don't like any of those picks or FA signings tbh.

I’m curious about what Watkins can bring with his cap number.

If he finishes strong and contributes to a championship team, I would think some team flush with cap space will pay up for his rights in the form of a day 2 draft pick.

I would anticipate any deal involving him would include an extension to lower that 2020 cap charge.

Carolina, Tampa Bay, Miami are 3 spots that I could see him landing.

Yup.

Same, in my opinion, with LDT.
