Just Want A Title Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 After watching the Jonathan Allen/Daron Payne Sideline fight and the fact that the Commanders drafted Phidarian Mathis in the second round, could one of their DTs become available in a trade? After using first round picks on Chase Young, Montez Sweat, Daron Payne and Jonathan Allen, I don't see how they can sign all of them to extensions. Personally, I would prefer Jonathan Allen because of his consistent pass-rush production but I suspect if the Commanders were going to trade one of them it would be Daron Payne. Is there a realistic trade scenario for one of them at this point? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superduperman Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 We have too many 3-4 OLBs now but I doubt any of them would fetch very much, certainly not to Washington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehardlionfan Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 At what cost? The Lions need their draft picks next year so it would be unwise to trade any at this point. I don’t see any players that would interest another team that they can afford to give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add to this, I do not see a scenario where we would trade for either player. Sideline fights do not really fit in with the culture we are building.

Just Want A Title Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) Most of the fight was on Daron Payne. He jabbed his finger into Allen's forehead. I don't see how they keep that line intact for much longer even if they didn't have potential locker room issues. I will say this: having an interior D-lineman who commands a double-team and/or can generate consistent QB pressures would be a huge help to our rookie DE/Edge players.

Millenhater Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 There was talk that Payne might be available for trade before the draft. As much as I'd like him I don't know if we can spend the money on him with Brockers on the roster and the buy in with the players could be eroded if we just cut him. I think we are going to roll with what we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No argument about the value of a penetrating DT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
