But, if he is there... I think he'd remind Andy Reid an awful lot of a former FA he signed in Jon Runyan, so there's that.
Then there is the curious issue of the Jets. Obviously, they have Mekhi Becton and I don't think there'd be much discussion if he hadn't been injured last year. He looked just fine at LT in 2020 as a rookie. George Fant played really solid in relief of him last year, so there has been chatter that maybe they'd start Fant at LT and move Becton to RT. I don't see it happening though. So, then what about OBJ going there? At that point, the Jets would have to be thinking that they'd be moving Becton to RT and OBJ is a longer-term solution at LT than Fant can be (he's in his 30s). Are the Jets actually improving their situation? I don't know that they are.
Would I do it if I knew all things could and would go down as you have outlined? Yes, I would. I think Penning would be much better at LT than OBJ in this offense. By doing the deal, you're really not substantially affecting your draft, and if you can get that OBJ trade down before pick 20/21 you have the potential to still have Karlaftis there and move 30 and 62 for him and a 5th. 35 is probably a spot you could grab Pickens.
All told though, its probably a bit far-fetched to think this would all happen. I'm not saying it won't or can't but I'm not so sure the NYJ would be your trade partner for OBJ. If SEA doesn't take a tackle at 9, I think you could send OBJ to them for 40, 109, and 152.

One BIG nugget you left out, Orlando is not signed. He has not signed his tag and therefor can NOT be traded.
I dont believe they are even considering trading him but also IT ISNT POSSIBLE right now.
