Trade candidates to replace Chandler Jones

[Gandhi]

There are almost three weeks until the trade deadline, so there is no rush in getting a replacement for Chandler Jones through those channels, and personally I could see them go with the ones they have on the roster now. However, here are three completely speculative, yet possibly realistic targets. I will say, though, that one thing that might make all three suggestions irrelevant is that Chandler Jones might soon be up for a big contract extension, and all three I have named here are free agents after the season – thus they would also require new contracts.

The Falcons are obviously a mess. Edge rusher Dante Fowler played well last year for the Rams, and in-division pickups are fairly normal in free agency. Fowler has an up-out clause in his contract ahead of next season, so they might want to get at least something for him while they can.

Marcus Golden is a free agent after this season, and I think it is safe to say that the Giants is in a rebuilding process, where they could use some late round draft picks. Keim obviously know Golden (and has a bigger need for him now than in this prior offseason).

Ryan Anderson has been flying under-the-radar in Washington, but has been playing fairly well. However, there are three first round picks in front of him, including two from the last two drafts, and he is a free agent after this season.

I think this year is still a rebuilding year. There isn't anyone out there that makes this defense a playoff caliber squad IMO.

I wouldn't make a trade unless it involves PP21.

Is VJ still going to castrate any Pass Rusher we bring in?

good analysis. appreciate the fact that there is a logical reason why their current team may give them up

bonus here is that he is cheap -- although he should be for 6 career sacks

 

[BigRedRage]

I would only trade 2021 draft picks

That implies CJ got 19 sacks last year with no sack.

 

[DVontel]

Dante Fowler is garbage. Hell no.


Golden is washed.


Anderson is intriguing.

 

[Jetstream Green]

There are none at this juncture of the season or they would be playing or a team would not want to trade them... but this is the point where you can do something really stupid in a trade of desperation when it's obvious we are not a Super Bowl team yet

Look at draft in offseason how is de prospects this yr?

Man just sucks jones was awesome to have on line unreal how meh 2020 this season is.....

The smart move is no move. Need to wait until the offseason. Too much uncertainty at this point. The league is so upside down that the 49ers got absolutely pounded by the Dolphins this weekend. Not even sure if the season will finish in entirety. One thing is for sure. Clean house in January. VJ and maybe even Keim

Don’t think a trade, especially a one-year rental, is worth it. Plus, CJ hasn’t been ruled out yet.

I'm with you guys.

Let's wait until the offseason.

Covid 19 will end up determining this season before it's supposed to be over

I am not going to throw in the towel now, TCF. If you are 2-11, 4-10, something like that, sure, I can see reasons to start playing for the future. But I will not accept it at 3-2.

Agreed. Not throwing in the towel but this is clearly not a team that would do damage in the playoffs this year. We are most likely an 8-8 team, which is a nice improvement from the last two years. I would expect 2021 to be the year we could be contenders. I am not interested in making a significant trade to replace Chandler Jones.

Edit - I hope to eat crow on this one.

You're right, but teams can get better (or worse). I still have hope Kyler can improve and that he gets better rhythm with the receivers.

We have Maxx Williams and Jalen to come back. We have Ward and Amukamara learning the system on the PS that could be elevated in coming weeks and add depth and other players that have a lot of room to personally improve (P2, Murphy, Drake, Philips, Simmons).

We also have low key trade and FA options that might improve areas.

So still room for growth. Sadly that needs good coaching which I have less faith in.

Kyler will improve - as will Kliff.

In fact it was very noticeable in one week how both improved dramatically.

I expect a lot more intermediate throws, and a lot more bombs to Hopkins in the coming weeks.

I also expect the run game to improve. I'm really not worried about our offense.

My concerns are primarily about our ability to defend the passing game.

 

[Jetstream Green]

I will say this, if we do make a trade, we have the right GM who more times than naught excels at this. He sucks at the draft, but is aces against the law of averages when trading

 

[THESMEL]

Thank you chandler for all you have done as a cardinal, get well soon. Young guns will get their moment to shine

 

[BritCard]

Keim should do this. Kamalei Correa is only on $2.25m on a 1 year deal but he already had most of that. He'd be a cheap pick up for a conditional 7th based on him extending.

Played outside linebacker in a 3-4 at the Ravens. Stayed there at the Titans but in a 4. Had 5 sacks last year and would be a good piece in a weak room. Would give us 11 games to try him out and if we sign him next year he'd add good experience to the OLB room.

I like Correa but how much of an impact will he make vs giving the youngsters some PT and why would an undefeated playoff team get rid of him with such a cheap contract?

There are no Youngsters. Gardeck is in his 3rd year and never played a D snap until Sunday. Reddick are in his 4th year and has been moved around to try make use of him. Neither are likely to be long term solutions.

Kennard on the Left with Reddick rotating and Correa on the Right with Gardeck rotating (and a bit of Zach Allen) seems like the best of both worlds to me. Neither Gardeck or Reddick can be a full time starter. Even Correa is a push as a starter, but at least he adds much needed experience.

Top of the list is Gregory Rousseau of U of Miami. Talk is he is top 3 pick.

Correa to the Jags
