I generally agree that trading picks is a bad idea but he's 22 and you get 4 years of control, that's different than trading for older guys.

Is adding a Ward or Lucas significantly different talent wise from what they have?

No way.

Minkah’s cap hits would be 1, 1.9, and 2 something for the next 3 years


Someone is gonna trade for him I bet

They’re not going to settle for that. They didn’t free up all that cap space for a Ward/Lucas level player dude. Even Terez seems convinced a move is coming.

i see where your coming from, but fuller was fair on the boundry some say even better last year. so that gives you breeland and fuller outside, minkah playing slot corner/ some safety like what HB has done in the past, then HB and thornhill. thats a much better looking group than what we have imo.

Not one. Last year they acquired 3 or 4 guys like that during the season.

He played much more often as a CB in either the slot or outside than he did at either traditional safety position.

Think of it less like traditional roles and more in terms of overall secondary talent.

Also, think of it less like this is THE move and more like it's A move.

He doesn't affect the cap all that much. THIS isn't what clearing space was about.

So because that’s what they did last year they’re going to do it again?

And they didn’t make most of those moves after the season had already started. What is the purpose of adding another Ward or Scandrick when they’ve already added Claiborne? If they make a move it will be for somebody better than him.

This is what I'm saying.

It's very useful to have four guys who can line up anywhere. It's confusing for an offense. You don't know before the play-call where which guys are going to be. You're not sure where your mismatches are.

I like this idea a lot.

I would imagine half the teams in the league are looking for a good deal on him...

I don’t think they’re going to make a move. I think you all should come to terms with what is already here. Said that already. ;)

Another way to look at it-

It's always said that successful NFL teams draft best player available and not for need. So; if according to the trade chart, next year's number one pick is equal to this year's number two pick...wouldn't you trade this year's number two pick for four years controlled of Minkah Fitzpatrick? I would.

You think they cleared that cap space for no reason?
