What would you like to see happen, if anything, before the week 6 trade deadline?

Bosko · Sep 25, 2008

Sorry, but you sound like one of those losers who are always calling Mike Francesca on WFAN/YES with your "great trades" that make the rest of us go to sleep.

But I am wonderin'.. How's your fantasy team doing this season?

The GM said: ↑

I'm a big fan of last minute moves to correct problems before the the final 2/3rds of the season plays out. There are not many things as of now that I would do, say, if I were GM, but there are a few, and one big one (albeit unlikely) that I would love to see go down.

1) Trade: Brad Smith and a 6th round pick to the Seahawks for a 3rd/4th rounder (conditional).
Reasoning: The Jets have Coles, Cotchery, Stuckey, and Clowney (when he gets back from being hurt) as 4 better receivers than Brad Smith. Smith is a tremendous athlete but he has not produced as a Jet WR even though he has looked better this season. However, the Seahawks, whose WRs are all basically dead men walking (if they can even walk), are in need of receivers. I mean they traded for Keary Colbert. Keary Colbert. Nuff said. If Smith has 5 or more TDs in the season, then the pick becomes a 1st rounder. If not, the draft pick is a 4th. It's not like we wouldn't mind having another 4th rounder anyways. The 3rd/4th rounds are rounds when you can still draft talented players for cheap (Cotchery, Harris, Lowery, Washington) while the 6th is more for depth.

2) *Blockbuster alert* Trade: Thomas Jones, Justin Miller, 2nd round pick to the Chiefs for Larry Johnson.
Reasoning: Johnson is incredibly unhappy in Kansas City. He's been grumbling about his carries and the Chiefs plain suck. Johnson is one of the top (top paid as well) RBs in the league and does not fit into the youth and rebuilding scheme in KC. The Chiefs CS don't use LJ on passing downs because he apparently isn't a great blocker or receiver but I think he is better than he is given credit for. Thomas Jones can be used out of the backfield as a receiver and fits the all-around type of back KC would implement best. The Chiefs are also starting 2 rookie CBs, one of which is a 6th round draft pick, the other a 2nd. The Chiefs can use Miller, who has become expendable with the solid showings of Lowery, a lot more than the Jets can. Miller also adds a good KR to the Chiefs, and the Jets already have a better KR in Washington. This also now depends on Miller's health status, but by week 6 he should be healthy from what I've read. The 2nd is obviously to make this trade go through. If the 2nd is unavailable because of the Favre trade then the Jets would give a 3rd and a 5th and get a 6th. Imagine LJ in the backfield. This would give the Jets the premier RB they have lacked since Curtis Martin retired, and a RB who would surely not get stopped on the goal line if he had been given 3 tries to get in. LJ/LW is a better combination in my mind than TJ/LW. The Jets FO have shown they aren't afraid of going out and getting talent and I think he could be the missing piece of the Jets offensive puzzle. Plus the Chiefs could greatly use a 2nd round pick which will help add talented youth to their rebuilding squad.

3) Trade for an NT. I don't know what Jenkins deal is and how long he will be out for but we found out rather quickly that without a solid NT our run D is nonexistent. I can't think of and haven't looked into possible NT pick ups or trades, but I will over the next few days. Jason Shirley is a possibility even though he is a thug on Cincy which is a terrible combination, but he is a rookie, he is huge (6'5, 330 lbs), has brute strength and clogs up the middle. He was a 5th rounder so compensation won't be big. A better prospect is probably Alan Branch on the Cardinals who is big enough (6'6, 330 lbs) to dominate the inside as he did back when he was at Michigan. He is not a rookie but he hasn't played much yet and with Watson sticking around he could possibly be expendable.

Anything you would like to see you can post here as well.

Is this even possible? LJ signed a big contract last year and I don't know how the Jets could afford him and Favre, et al.
