But it's what it is, we shall see what we could savage on Wilson's trade value. We can help his trade value by sitting him right now.GemCity":3uey6ic5 said:Prior to this season, I’ve never been an advocate of trading Wilson. I have thought that we need a shakeup in coaches and staff.
However, I think if you’re going to ever trade Wilson, now is the time to do it. I can see some things have diminished such as mobility, decision making, etc. I do believe that if he went to a team like the Saints, they’re instant contenders and he could even get another SB win. Long story short…I believe he has several years left in the tank.
But, if ever, now would be the time while you can still picture getting at least 2 firsts (I said at least), a third, and a role player or two.
With that line of thinking, you also need to consider unloading Wagz, Lockett, and pray DK would want to stay. This all would’ve sounded crazy just a few weeks back but the reality is that this team needs a serious rebuild. We’re talking a few years at minimum with the hopes that you’re not stuck in a Miami Dolphins type rebuild.
I’d unload veteran talent (pains me to say that as folks like Lockett haven’t been anything short than incredible).
I’d build from both sides of the lines first and go defense from there. Due to wear and tear, RB would be last on my list in whatever draft we could manage to snag a good one. Not Penny good but you know, Chubb good.
It’s time.
Oh…need some LBs too. This Brooks kid shows flashes but, I’m not convinced.

Appreciate the response. There’s zero chance I would’ve traded him after last season. Everything is clearer in hindsight but, there’s no way I would’ve done that. Everyone thought this team still had potential. Now, the reality is that we’re very far off. A trade now makes sense…it absolutely did not before.
