NEXT offseason is much more likely since we'd save $8m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying I agree with moving him,. just saying I'm sure it's about his cost, especially is they think Seumalu, Herbig and a draft pick is better value.

I don’t think it makes sense to move on from a very solid younger player unless there’s something going on behind the scenes we as fans are not aware of 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rivers Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 we are just starting to get the OL legit, lets not even think if cutting or trading good players. This isn't the colbert era with ben occupying high % of the cap. hopefully they sign Highsmith before this season starts and keep getting the trenches improved. and of course 2 CB's that are good early in the draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFF Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Trading Daniels nets only $5.3 mill in cap room this year and $8 mill for 2024. Trading him for a pick only makes sense if it’s at least in that early 2nd area and even then I’m probably not doing it. There has been a lot of smoke on Interior OL already with pre draft visits etc etc so maybe something is there. You would’ve thought though they woulda done this before the main waves of FA if it was for redistribution of cap space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOSteelers56 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Mark me into the "we shouldn't trade Daniels" camp. I agree that unless we get a Claypool+ haul, we should not do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rivers Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 if they draft a OT, is there a chance they trade Chuks this year or wait until next? I would rather keep lots of good OL, but if trades are going to be happening, this could be one considering the cap situation and direction of the offence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
