 November 1st is the trade deadline so we wanted to cover five players that could be traded to other teams prior to that deadline. Now every year rumors pop up with these big name players but realistically a lot of these players don't get traded just because with cap space and the draft picks it just doesn't make a lot of sense for teams to trade for these players. So we want to focus in on five players that could realistically get traded. Player number one I mean it's already out there Christian McCaffrey the Panthers are already openly shopping I don't want to say shopping but like they're they're hearing they're listening to what other teams have to offer. Steve Wilkos I keep on saying Steve Wilkos it's Steve Wilk. Steve Wilkos is a good off boy Steve Steve guy but Steve Wilks as the interim head coach Matt Rule was fired like this is already a rebuilding season for them. They just want to look ahead to the future and if that means getting a lot of draft capital because by the way for the Panthers they only have a first a second a fourth and a fifth only four draft picks this year a team would only have to pay like a little bit over one million and then in future years yes you have to take on 20 million a year but they can figure that out for themselves but for the Panthers they would take an 8.7 million dollar cap hit which sounds like a lot and it is like a good chunk but it's not like the end of the world if they trade them so McCaffrey could get traded and some teams that could be interested I know that the Bills were openly trying to acquire Christian McCaffrey in the offseason they were shut down the Rams could be in line with Cam Acres being in the trade market the Arizona Cardinals the run game just hasn't looked great for them they need to step up Kansas City Chiefs as well what is the compensation I mean nothing less than two high draft picks I would say like if you want to throw in a player and just one draft pick sure but two high draft picks whether that be a first and a second to first I don't think you do it for two twos maybe they do but I'm thinking like a first and a second at least the Panthers would accept that for Christian McCaffrey so again throughout the duration of the segment leave your comments I'd love to hear your thoughts what do you think Christian McCaffrey would go and what do you think that compensation would look like the second player let's stick with that team let's stick with DJ Moore again the Panthers need more draft capital only four draft picks and Moore who has been looking the best because of the poor quarterback play could get traded I know that they just traded Robbie Anderson to the Arizona Cardinals so are they really like let's just shop our best receiver at this point I don't think the Panthers go all out and trade Christian McCaffrey and DJ Moore I think if anything they trade one or the other and get some draft capital out of that but I don't see them just getting rid of everyone at this point for DJ Moore I think the compensation that you could get out of him is maybe like a second rounder or a third rounder but anything less than that I don't think that's happening and anything more than that I don't think he's worth a first round pick at this point for the cap hit it's only six million dollars that the Panthers would have to take a hit on besides that it's a contract that he is getting paid a lot of money and the team that acquires him has to realistically pay that in future years but if they're willing to they're willing to really invest in a young receiver that has a talent that just needs a new opportunity and needs more targets DJ Moore would be the guy some teams that could trade for him would be the Baltimore Ravens I know that's a rumor that popped up like you need some help right and so the Baltimore Ravens could be a team that could invest the Green Bay Packers have been talked about getting a receiver for so long they might still be in the Odo Beckham market come mid-November but it's looking like so DJ Moore could be a player being talked about by the Green Bay Packers the Kansas Adachives could also use more receivers the New York Giants as well I know that their receiving core has been injured and as well it just hasn't been working out with Kateria Stoney and the unlimited amount of snap stays getting Kenny Galladay the four-year 72 million dollar contract just not working so the Giants with them being five in one honestly like they could be going after DJ Moore and then maybe even the Tennessee Titans I know the Julio Jones experiment didn't work out so maybe they're kind of hesitant to to pay a high draft pick for DJ Moore but it could be a possibility that Moore could go to the Tennessee Titans player number three that could be traded is Ro Kwan Smith I think this was kind of obvious in the preseason when he flat out came out on Twitter and put out a statement saying like hey I love the Bears organization I'm thankful for my time in the windy city but I am requesting a trade to get out of Chicago because they don't want to sign him to a long-term contract he's one of the better young outside linebackers even though technically he hasn't been voted as a second team first team all-pro went to a Pro Bowl he's still a very very good defensive piece for the Chicago Bears and he's so far proven it this season like he's playing like Ro Kwan Smith only 25 years old in the last year of his contract so if a team really wanted to trade for him kind of like what the Eagles did for AJ Brown where they couldn't get contracts working out with the Tennessee Titans so they said hey we will trade for AJ Brown and we will pay him as well if Ro Kwan Smith goes to a team that wants to do the same thing with him that's a high possibility now the team that he goes to though you got to keep in mind they have to have a good amount of cap space so it's kind of hard to tell at this point in 2023 who's gonna have a lot of cap space moving forward just because a lot of these teams haven't really re-signed their big-name players so it's really hard to grasp but just looking at the perspective of team fits and teams that are competing that need a young linebacker to really step up their game the Baltimore Ravens have been talked about a lot the Miami Dolphins I'll say I'll throw them out there then New York Jets could use more pieces on that elite defense that they have and the Atlanta Falcons I mean don't count them out everybody expected them to be what one and five at this point and now they're three and three could have been four and two if that play against Brady whatever that Grady Jarrett call but still like the Atlanta Falcons could be in the running for Ro Kwan Smith who played at Georgia so you know born and raised in Georgia so the cap hit that the Bears would take by trading away Ro Kwan Smith would be nine point seven million dollars again sounds like a lot of money but in the grand scheme of things it's not like the Falcons eating up the cap space for Matt Ryan kind of money like it's a little bit less so he's gonna be a free agent at this point might as well just get some draft capital for him I don't think that you get anything more than a second rounder for Ro Kwan Smith so first rounder out of the table but a second rounder maybe like third rounder yeah I could realistically see that happening so kind of like DJ Moore second or third rounder for Ro Kwan Smith player number four news that just broke out Sean McVeigh actually just came out and said hey yeah we are actively shopping came acres we were listening to offers we wanted him to get a fresh start somewhere else just didn't work out I don't know whether it's like the Achilles or he's just frustrated with his role in the offense whatever it is they are looking for another running back and want to get rid of cam acres since he's only on his rookie deal that's only a 1.6 million dollar hit so not bad not bad at all and what makes cam acres a little bit more attractive is that he has two years left on his contract so he's not going to be free agent in 2023 2024 is when he's going to become a free agent so that kind of gives some teams a little bit more room to kind of see like a trial and error kind of thing hey is cam acres going to really work out I can trade like a low draft pick I think I'll honestly at this point the Rams with the way that acres has played I honestly think they'd be okay with like a fourth rounder at best and realistically he might be like a fifth or sixth rounder that you get for cam acres and some teams that could trade for cam acres would be the Atlanta Falcons I mean I know that they have Cordero Patterson he's on IR though if you want to do like a running back by committee approach I mean like the backup running backs for the Falcons cable Huntley Tyler out of gear sometimes they have their moments but it just really hasn't been working out for them so I mean you could pair Cordero Patterson with cam acres and that actually might be a good one to punch and then I'll also say the Raiders just because Josh Jacobs is on his last year with his contract already declined the 50 year option the way that they're playing them is like hey we don't really we're not playing you to preserve you for your future because we know that we're not going to resign you so we need a new running back and with two years on cam makers contract it could be again in 2023 as a workhorse or first string running back just play just see what he has and then let's see if we want to resign cam acres the last team I want to mention that could be interested in cam acres maybe this is a little bit of a stretch but could the Rams and the Panthers do a Christian McCaffrey cam acres kind of deal where the Rams are showing interest in Christian McCaffrey the Panthers need a running back replacement if they do trade away McCaffrey get cam acres and I know that you can't just do straight up McCaffrey for acres who would have to be hey I will trade cam acres and a second round pick for a Christian McCaffrey cam acres in a third round or whatever it may be like a package deal for McCaffrey and then the last player we want to talk about is another running back and that is Josh Jacobs we talked about him being declined his 50 year option on the last year of his contract I only see this happening though with the way that Jacobs is playing I only see this happening if the Raiders continue to lose they're one and four at this point if they drop to one and five do you think to yourself hey maybe we should trade away Josh Jacobs with the way that he's playing we don't have any intention of resigning him his contract is going to be too expensive with the way that he's playing let's shop him to a team that is willing to pay him a long-term contract extension and let's just get our hands rid of it and let's get a high draft pick out of it so I think the compensation you could get for Josh Jacobs if he continues to play the way that he is you could get a second round pick out of Jacobs I mean it's really friendly as far as the cap hit goes because he's again just like cam acres he's on his rookie contract so it's not that big of a hit but those are five players that could be traded realistically McCaffrey Moore Rokon Smith cam acres and Josh Jacobs if you have any other players and any other team destinations you guys want to mention down below I would love to hear your thoughts on where you think those players would go
