Let's trade Moton

[scratched]

What could we get in a trade of Moton? He has a little age on him, and is starting to get a little nicked up... And we can draft Membou. We get younger at a position of need and gather a few picks in the trade? We are building for the future, and this guy Membou would be a good addition up front.

Oh boy........

No

We are returning the same starting OL for the first time in like 10 years, and our offense has struggled to do anything well ever since Cam's shoulder went to poo, but yeah lets trade our most consistent offensive lineman.

I would prioritize protecting Bryce and giving him stability. I’m in favor of drafting a tackle early but doubt a rookie will be much better this year than Moton and I don’t think the picks we’d get in return would be worth it. I say keep moton and keep an eye on BPA. If we see really good value at ot in rounds 2 or 3, grab them, but I wouldn’t trade Moton.

So are we going to the playoffs this year? The answer is NO! We are in a rebuild, and right now we can get something for Moton. I guess we can just go 6-11 and do this again next year? So what do you guys suggest? Sign him to a new contract at the end of the year or let him walk after the season? Both of those options are terrible. Signing him to a new contract is crazy, and letting him walk for nothing is craZier!

What can we get for him?   A 6th?

You don't get rid of a player you know plays well and is a locker room leader, unless your hand is forced, on the hope that his replacement works out. You can still draft Membou and let him learn a year and get up to speed so he can hit the ground running, but you don't take a cornerstone linemen and off load him when he still plays well and isn't causing your team fits with their cap hit. 

 

The whole "How many games will we win this season?" question is also based in fantasy. You have to build a culture and keep improving. You don't throw in the towel at the start of the season and jettison good players for the future when we are not even close to a point where we have to blow the roster up and start over. They set the foundation last year, you let them build on it.

Finally have a decent Oline and yet, let’s blow it up.

This isn’t madden 

[Donald LaFell]

Let Moton play out his contract and enjoy that salary. We can hopefully extend or resign him to something friendlier next year

If this was a year from now and we had already addressed the defense then I could see the reasoning for this. 

But thats not this year. 

Also, he has been the best player on the team the last 10 years. Lets respect that he wants to retire here..
