Could/Should OBJ be available for trade this week?

I'd categorize this as a pretty terrible idea. The one way which you can **** up this superbowl window is by playing a kid at left tackle and getting Mahomes killed. Even the top end tackle talent this draft that will go top 5/10 is not as good as the 1st rounders from the last couple of drafts, so you're taking a massive risk assuming Penning can start week 1.

Left tackle is just not the spot to go cheap. You can give OBJ a 4-5 year deal now, and if you factor in that the first year of a new deal is normally cheap cap wise, the money between an OBJ deal and deals for Humphrey and Smith won't even overlap. Thuney's deal will be off the books by then too.
