On Doug and Wolfe this morning Keim indicated that he has fielded multiple inquiries regarding out WRs. Keim flat out said that we will most likely be keeping 6 WRs. I think it is clear who the top 5 are and that leaves:

Brittan Golden
Walt Powell

IMO I'd keep Powell over Golden as the 6th WR. Although if we can get a team to give us something decent for one of them I'd set the hook and reel in the trade.

No, the Cardinals aren't trading Larry Fitzgerald. :D

If we can get that 7th rounder back on Walt Powell, I'm going to be pretty stoked.

Didn't the Cardinals trade Thmoas Jones away for 7th string WR?

He also said they would be looking at the waiver wire. I can imagine that any quality at ILB would be a priority with Minter's injury.

I'm not sure I would believe a team would trade for Golden or Powell. If Keim gets ANYTHING for either one he is one heck of a GM :)

My guess is that Jaron Brown was the one that teams inquired about.

Fitz, Floyd and John Brown are probably off the table.

I'm guessing everyone else is fair game if the trade is right.

powell can be traded for at least a fifth round draft pick
and jaron brown for a 4th
this is the right price for them

You could also trade them straight up for a player where the Cardinals are thin at a position.

I think this team has shown the ability to identify down roster WR talent enough that we can afford to discount these prices. If a team offered a 5th round pick for an undrafted free agent who might play 40 snaps within the offense during the season, would you really say no?

Powell is the guy whom I'd be happy to give up for a 5th-7th round pick. Won't beat out the guys ahead of him, we have some roster certainty at the position, wouldn't get anything for him otherwise.

i dont know how is kansas city with their wrs,.but a trade for justin houston could be ideal.
even with texans for mercilus.

If our WR depth shows up in season it will make for a very interesting off-season for Fitz. Clearly he has to take a huge paycut from his pending number but now you wonder how much he would play for with us and how much he can get in the open market. Is he a Labron type homer who wants to play in Minnesota now that they may have a QB and might give them a discount or would he go after the money elsewhere one last time? Will having Floyd, Ginn, John Brown, Jaron Brown and Walt Powell and future face of the franchise PP under contract make it easier to let Fitz go?

Powell and Golden are the only possible WR's that we'd trade. Since,Jauron Brown is the only non starter with any size, John Brown is off the table. With Minter being a question mark a trade for an ILB makes sense.

With all the injuries on D, we may now need to trade for defensive help. Either that or we keep them because we'll need to score 40 pts in order to win.

i'm thinking the latter is our best shot. trading a 6th WR isn't going to do too much to help this D at this point.

I believe Floyd would be worth the most at a trade circle, valuable enough to maybe get some real help but he's just too valuable to us with Arian's style of play and all.

We would only get something significant back for Floyd or Fitz. The rest will be nothing more than a 4th round pick or later next year. Hell, a 4th round pick for any of the rest would be a surprise to me.

Not as is.

But teams would line up to trade for him with a new, renegotiated deal fo sho, ala when we traded Aeneas Williams. A Fitz trade would take Fitz' blessing.

On the other hand, I guess the accelerated cap hit we would take makes him untradable for us.

Never mind.
