Trades for players buried in Depth Chart

[h0llywood]

I guess the first question is, will GMan be active in trades or is he going to rely on the draft and bargain FA's?

If he does decide to make trades, which player(s) buried on another team's depth chart would you like to see Gman make a trade for? 

Players who I like sitting on someone else's bench.

1) Devin Smith - NYJ He is currently 5th on the depth chart. This guy can flat out ball if put in the right position. Last year he signed a 4 year, $5,872,419 contract with the New York Jets, including a $2,530,850 signing bonus, $3,232,779 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $1,468,105. In 2016, Smith will earn a base salary of $701,929. Smith has a cap hit of $1,334,641 while his dead money value is $2,600,065.

2) Matt Elam - BAL - 2nd on the Strong Safety depth chart. Would be able to slide over to FS or move Coleman over to FS. In 2013 he signed a 4 year, $6,767,002 contract with the Baltimore Ravens, including a $3,301,456 signing bonus, $5,439,229 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $1,691,751. In 2016, Elam will earn a base salary of $1,327,773.Elam has a cap hit of $2,140,997

3) Marqise Lee - JAX - He is currently 3rd on the depth chart but the team also has Julius Thomas and Marcedes Lewis to limit his targets. Would be an instant threat (if healthy). In 2014 he signed a 4 year, $5,174,022 contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars, including a $2,082,924 signing bonus, $3,158,107 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $1,293,506. In 2016, Lee will earn a base salary of $890,366. Lee has a cap hit of $1,411,097 while his dead money value is $1,041,462.

4) Margus Hunt - CIN - The 6'8" behemoth is 3rd on the RDE spot. Would love to see him play his potential with us. In 2013 he signed a 4 year, $3,671,102 contract with the Cincinnati Bengals, including a $1,049,892 signing bonus, $1,049,892 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $917,776. In 2016, Hunt will earn a base salary of $855,604 and a workout bonus of $50,000. Hunt has a cap hit of $1,168,077 while his dead money value is $262,473.

Devin Smith was a rookie this past year, no way do I see the Jets trading him as much as we'd all like for it to happen. 

[SOJA]

I'd love Devin Smith but I don't think the Jets would even consider moving him

Out of all these guys I would love to have Marqise Lee and Margus Hunt. Lee is a game breaker if he can stay healthy.

Need to get a QB that can get the deep ball to him or he is a waste of space!

[Ricky Spanish]

I don't trust backup Ravens safeties. PTSD in that regard.

As far as the other guys go, I trust Gettleman's scouting expertise in that area. He made two trades last year in Allen and Norwood. Both were had for peanuts without mortgaging the future, and the Allen trade proved to be well  worth it in the fact that we got a consistent starter for cheap even if his stats weren't out of this world.

good ass list op

I think the Jets would get rid of Enunwa, Kerley, or Shaq Evans before Smith.  They've actually established a decent group behind Decker and Marshall. 

[CWORS]

I would want Marquis Lee from that list.

I believe Shaq went to Jacksonville last year

With Pittsburgh's embarrassment of riches at WR, how about knocking on their door for Markus Wheaton?

Or their 3rd round pick from last year, Sammie Coates?

(Frankly, I don't see Gettleman dipping into the trade market personally.)

[Ken]

Don't like Marquis Lee. Philly Brown can give us the same thing.

During the NFL combine, the player that Markus Wheaton was being compared to was Antonio Brown. They don't need two of them on the same team! I would drool over having him.
