NFL trade rumors: Who are you stashing in case they are moved? ...Who would you pick up as they fill the void? (2 Viewers)

[JohnnyU]

I know a lot of people have given up on Anthony Richardson, but a fresh start may be helpful. I haven’t seen anything more than murmurs, but could see the Rams, Browns, Raiders, Steelers making enough sense to sniff around at pricing.

He is terrible.

He has been terrible, I agree. He is also 23 years old and physically gifted. He was over drafted, has not been able to stay healthy, and had minimal game experience in college. I believe with the right coaching and work ethic he still has a chance to improve and become a starter. Long shot maybe, but with his age and inexperience it is certainly possible.

Feels like a worse Trey Lance.

Certainly one of the possible outcomes.

Richardson is Hendon Hooker but drafted in the 1st. It was an awful pick.

If he can't do it with the coach who turned Daniel Jones into a first ballot HoFer, I doubt he will find much success elsewhere.

I'll push back on that a little bit. I don't think Richardson fits with Steichen in the type of offense he wants to run. That's not to say he couldn't have more success elsewhere. Probably low probability, but not out of the question. Albeit, never sustainable IMO (see Justin Fields).

Richardson will be a Steeler next year...

You didn’t learn anything from the Justin Fields experience?

Report: Dolphins will consider trade offers for Jaylen Waddle

The Dolphins parted ways with G.M. Chris Grier on Friday.

www.nbcsports.com

 

[OrganizedChaos]

I grabbed Jacobi Meyers in case he was traded but honestly if he is traded somewhere does his value really go up? He'll be a WR2 or 3 and learning a new system and getting on the same page with a new QB. Unless you are a WR a step above that or perhaps a RB that can get a lead role are there any trades where the player being traded gains value?

 

[The Frankman]

Grabbed Devin Neal just in case Kamara is dealt.

If Waddle is really available, I think a lot of teams would give a 1st round pick for him. Waddle is a true #1 WR, who has only not been that when playing 2nd fiddle to a HOF talent in Tyreek Hill. Waddle would be the #1 on half the teams in the league.

I doubt any team would give a 1st they don't like to give up 1st for guys that are getting paid a lot of money

 

[travdogg]

To me, New England is the team to watch. Most cap space in the NFL, rookie contract QB, likely 7-2 after Sunday.

I could see them making a BIG swing. Like 2026 1st rounder big. Maybe that's Jaylen Waddle if he's really available (I don't see Miami truly caring about trading in the division, Jaelen Phillips could be an option as well) more likely, maybe that's Chris Olave if they target WR. I know Jakobi Meyers is a rumored candidate, and has a history, but I don't really see how he's a real upgrade over what they have.

Beyond a much-rumored WR, pass rusher has been discussed. I highly dount Garrett or Crosby get moved for less than multiple 1sts+, but what about Trey Hendrickson if the Bengals lose to the Bears? Maybe Kayvon Thibodeaux? Depending on how RB performs Sunday, and how banged up Stevenson is, I could see a RB. Feels like Breece Hall would be a pipe dream, but I could see a guy like Tony Pollard or Jerome Ford.

That's the thing, Waddle isn't getting paid much of anything. His contract is structured as such that an acquiring team would only be on the hook for about 15 million dollars for the rest of 2025 and 2026. Not 15 million a year, 15 million total. It balloons up in 2027, but I'd imagine there'd be a restructure at that point anyway. The Dolphins would be on the hook for 47 million, but maybe they'd feel an extra #1 would be worth that.

ETA: A similar idea exists with Garrett Wilson. Though he just signed his extension. If a team say, gave up a 1st for Wilson, they'd only be on the hook for 36 million dollars until 2028. The Jets would be on the hook for 41.

I mean, yes, but also, there's a lot of competition for the top pick. If they want a new Franchise QB of their choosing, they may have to add capital somehow, and those 2 guys are about all they have that teams will likely give anything more than a 3rd rounder for. I think Achane is a lot less likely, but frankly wouldn't 100% rule out, as he'll probably want a new deal next season.

 

[King of the Jungle]

Waddle is a WR1 talent, but I question his ability to stay healthy. He has had a decent stretch as of late, but the last few seasons he seems like he is gimpy at some point after each game. I would be listening to offers if I was Miami.

 

[Buckna]

Hey if you’re gonna rebuild and draft a new QB, it certainly makes sense to trade away your only viable WR who’s 26 and signed an extension last year that you’d now get to eat

 

[Insein]

I don't see Achane and Waddle getting moved. Enticing a new coach, you're going to need some talent. It can't be a complete tear down.

 

[zamboni]

It was discussed either upthread or in another one, but in-season WRs trades are typically value killers in the short/medium term. Takes time to build chemistry with a new QB and learn a new playbook. RB is a different story.

 

[JohnnyU]

New York Jets running back Breece Hall has been the subject of trade rumors over the last few weeks. Given the state of the Jets team, it's not shocking to see them considering trading Hall. The Jets are sitting with one win, and Hall is in the final year of his rookie deal. Despite that, Hall is unlikely to be traded unless the Jets get blown away with an offer. The 24-year-old has rushed for 581 yards with two touchdowns on the ground. If he's traded, Isaiah Davis figures to handle the bulk of the Jets for the rest of the season. However, most organizations are unlikely to give up a ton for a soon-to-be free agent.--Andy Webb

 

[Donnybrook]

Does Atlanta (3-5) shop Kyle Pitts? Final year of his contract.

 

[JohnnyU]

ESPN Senior NFL Insider, Adam Schefter, reports that the Miami Dolphins are trading edge rusher Jaelan Phillips to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick. This is the third trade the Eagles have made in the past week. They have now added Phillips, as well as cornerbacks Jaire Alexander and Michael Carter II. Phillips was selected by the Dolphins with the 18th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and is known to have high-motor, strong pass-rushing skills and high potential. Unfortunately, he has been limited by season-ending injuries, including a torn Achilles tendon in 2023 and an ACL injury in 2024; however, when he has been on the field, he has been effective. Phillips has 26 career sacks and 177 career tackles. In his first two seasons in the NFL (2021 and 2022), he played all 17 games each season and had seven-plus sacks in each year. This move should help the Eagles strengthen their front line and enable them to compete defensively for another NFC East title.--Nicho Roessler

Does Atlanta (3-5) shop Kyle Pitts? Final year of his contract.

Not impossible but I think that staff might be fighting for their jobs and they need all the help they can get. Not sure they got enough in the passing game to make that move.

I was thinking to myself we could see GB get in the TE trade market now but it’s IMO most likely for Chig or Njoku.

Musgrave was selected before Kraft and considered a very athletic pass catching TE. I wouldn't trade for Chig to start.

I was a big Musgrave fan and mentioned even rostered him some this year as Kraft insurance so still like him and think he can do well.

But, he’s also dealt with his share of injuries and the other 2 TE’s might offer more of the YAC role they lose with Kraft. Musgrave is more of the classic seam stretching TE.

Think NE is going pass rusher first. Their run D is crazy good. They have Gonzo as a lockdown. If they can get more heat on the passer I think that D improves quite a bit.

Have a feeling they are standing pat on WR. I'd only go there if they can get a legit alpha (like AJ Brown).

Agreed...adding to the pass rush is their biggest need...they need another edge guy to go with Landry and Chiasson...overall Vrabel has been pretty vocal lately about the long-term vision...the only way I see them taking a big swing (regardless of the position) is if it is for a player who is relatively young and has a few years left on their deal...while they are 7-2 the roster really isn't at a point where they can give up a legit asset for a short-term rental...if I had to guess they add some depth using those sixth round picks but hold off on any big moves until this offseason.

From Giardi's article on BSJ today:

The Pats now have 19 sacks in 9 games. Don't forget, they led the league after two weeks (8 total). Since then, they've been like the guy who forgot to put his dentures in - toothless far too often. That's why Vrabel and company had talked to the Dolphins about Jaelen Phillips (traded this morning to Philadelphia for a 3rd round pick), and, per league sources, continue to make calls around the league assessing what it would take to make a deal. Other names that could make sense/be on their radar include Arden Key in Tennessee (who played under Vrabel for one season), Malcolm Koonce in Vegas, and, if Miami really wanted to strip it down to the studs, Bradley Chubb. However, his contract is a little more onerous. Cincinnati's ask for Trey Hendrickson remains exorbitant (a 1st). There have also been rumblings about Arnold Ebiketie, who you just saw make a couple of plays for Atlanta on Sunday, and Seattle's Boye Mafe (15 sacks over the last two seasons but zero this year as a reserve).

Agreed...plus he will be 31 in December...excellent player and short-term would be a huge addition but they just aren't in a position to use a #1 on that type of player right now...this team had debatable the worse roster in the NFL last year and while they have made huge strides they still have more holes to fill if they are going to sustain a high-level of play for a long period of time.

Just saw a Sleeper update that Jerry Jones said they made a trade but refused to say who was involved.

He’s a putz.

 

[JohnnyU]

I'd give a 3rd for Hendrickson and nothing more. I think the Bengals probaby think they can get a 1st, but that is insane. So he probably won't get traded unless the Bengals come to their senses.

Isn't he injured? He wasn't moving around too well the last time he played. Hip or groin or something like that.

Yes on the hip. I hear the Bengals are wanting too much for Hendrickson. Thus the reason why he may not be traded.

If we’ve learned anything, it’s that NFL trades are rather rare - much less than the highly active deadline days of the MLB, NBA, NHL.

But we’ll still have this thread anyway for conjecture.
