Could/Should OBJ be available for trade this week?

This is all about money going forward.

Theney is on the books for at least 3 more years, and isn't coming off the books cheep in year 4.

In another year or two, we are going to have to look at re signing both Humphrey and Smith to extentions/new contracts, and I assume neither of those 2 are going to come cheap, and it looks as if both need to be keepers.

OBJ is not going to be cheap either. Probably $20 million, give or take a bit going forward.

That's a lot of money invested in the O-line in the very near future.

If Trevor Penning is still on the board in the late teens, and the Chiefs could move up and grab him, and then say trade OBJ to a team like the Jets for an early 2nd and early 4th (which is a late 1st round value) would you consider it?

That would put our cap space this year at about $34 million before rookies are paid. So high $20 millions to play with during and after the draft to fill in spots that we were unable to fill in during the draft. And an additional $20 million for the next 2 or 3 years just like we recouped from moving Hill.

Say 29 and 50 to Philly for Pick 15. (Thats 318 trade points for 29 and 50, vs 315 for pick 15)

Get picks 35 and 111 from the Jets for OBJ. (Thats 201 trade points which is valued right inbetween picks 29 and 30 in the 1st round).

So essentially move OBJ and pick 50 for massive cap space going forward.

Picks left:

30
35
62
94
103
111
121
135

Still 8 picks and Penning for OBJ and cap space.

Nah.

Trading obj gets interesting if LT cross falls. I’d do it! If cross falls to 15ish, pull the trigger and go get him if you can get adequate value for obj.
