With the NFL trade deadline around the corner, we’ll begin to see more and more players shipped off to new teams over the coming days. Tuesday brought with it two massive trades as the Colts sent All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks and Pro Bowl defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the 49ers.
Pass rusher Khalil Mack has been the biggest name floated out there for the Chargers to move amid their 0-6 start. However, the Bolts could feasibly move on from other players as well in preparation for a larger
overhaul this upcoming offseason. Names such as Quentin Johnston, Donte Jackson, and even Kimani Vidal have been amongst the possible trade candidates tossed around over the past week.
Now that the deadline is roughly two weeks away, I wanted to check in with the community and see where you all stood on which players you believe the Bolts need to move on from at this point.
Do you try and avoid paying Johnston his fifth-year option? Has the defense been fine enough without Jackson?
Who else do you think could be a sneaky trade candidate? Let me know all of your thoughts below!
And now for today’s links.
