Trade Block Talk

TRADE BLOCK TALK 

It is that time of year RedZone, every one is throwing out their savvy vets and expiring contracts out on the trade block in an effort to rake in assets to reload for next season. 

There are some big name players that have been listed so far, and the RZBowl for season 83 is yet to be played. Let's unpack some of these big names and see a potential fit for a suitor.

DE Nick "MAGA" Bosa

Nick Bosa is one of the most feared pass rushers in all of the RedZone. Last season, he totaled only 8 sacks, but forced 3 fumbles for the 49ers. This was in large part, due to his injury history. This defense was loaded, with the likes of Arik Armstead who led in sacks and Fred Warner, an elite LB. Media personalaties have weighed in on the influx of trade offers, but it is hard to pinpoint who it could be. With 1 year left on his deal, it needs to be a team with the cap space to accomadate his salary. It is likely he heads to the AFC, so time will tell once the confetti falls where the hottest trade block commodity ends up. 

DESTINATON: HOUSTON TEXANS

RB Derrick Henry

The king of tailbacks is reaching the ripe age of 29, and regression is looming. Not to mention, he is reaching the last year of his deal. Coach Moj and the Titans are searching for a team that needs that extra push offensively, and who better to be that spark than the bowling bowl that is Henry. In season 83, he posted over 1600 yards on the ground, and 17 TDs. Henry would be a nice fit for a team that is on the fringe of making the playoffs in their respective conference. I like Henry to end up in Philly, even though they have invested heavily into De'Andre Swift.

DESTINATION: PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

DE Aaron Donald

Aaron Donald is being shopped by Los Angeles, despite his 30m cap penalty. Los Angeles is tearing it down after their 2-15 season. Aaron Donald tallied just 7 sacks, so it makes sense to see some frustration because the production isn't matching the cap hit. Donald is going to be a next level addition for a team that can afford him. But, the question still lingers, what will regression look like? 

DESTINATION: WASHINGTON COMMANDERS

FS Justin Simmons

After being one of the league's most underperforming defenses, the Broncos are shipping off Justin Simmons to anyone willing to pay. Simmons is 29, but is performing at a very high level. He is coming off of a 16 INT season, and teams will pay top dollar for someone who can track down the football in a pass-first league. Simmons will NOT be cheap, but there will be an organization that pays the premium to bring him in. 

DESTINATION: CAROLINA PANTHERS

WR Amari Cooper

Coach Kelly is shopping SS WR Amari Cooper in hopes of a 1st or 2nd round pick in return. If he has not been snatched off the block already, there is no doubt that he will quickly find a home this offseason outside of Cleveland. He was Cleveland's 4th option this season, only tallying 840 yards. While he did get injured mid-season, Cleveland is finding production elsewhere, so this move makes sense for the Browns.

DESTINATION: GREEN BAY PACKERS
