Hypothetical on trading T.J. Bass

[Cowboys5217]

The question isn't are you just willing though. It's are you taking the initiative and calling around the league looking to move Bass for a DT?

Yes. Putting my GM Hat on, I would have assistants calling around all the time to see what I could get for just about any scenario.

Broaddus attempting to use logic has

I learned it from Jimmy Johnson and the Walker trade among others.

 

[Ring6]

like my old F250, worth more to us than what we'd get for him

 

[Denim Chicken]

Bass isn't going to net you anymore than a 6th or 7th. Id rather have the depth & potential Martin replacement.

 

[Coogiguy03]

This was a Broaddus question that I think is interesting.

If you're weeks into camp and you feel good about the rookie OL are you willing to trade T.J. Bass (who Broaddus believes the league missed on and should have been drafted) for DL depth and DT in particular?

I guess the obvious answer is it depends on who that DL is, so let me tweak it. If you feel good about those rookies weeks into camp are you looking to trade Bass for a comparable DT?

absolutely not, guys are getting older (Martin) an injury can take place instantly, keep him!

 

[Teague31]

Hard pass. He’s the heir apparent at RG.

Wow, I’m in a state of shock. I’ve never seen you post anything substantive before. Speechless.

 

[Creeper]

What could we possibly get for a back for an undrafted backup OG? Also, keep in mind Martin is in the last year of his contract. Bass could be the guy that takes over for him if he leaves or retires. Considering they let Tyron go, I can see where they could let Martin go as well rather than sign him to a big contract.

I'd rather trade Zach Martin and start Bass.
The old Niners were masters at letting go of stars
a year or two early.

 

[Gambit]

No! His value to our OLine is worth way more than a couple of tackles ( per game ) from a 3rd or 4th string DT/DE.

He said comparable, so I'd say a reserve DT.

Answer for me is still no. OL is too valuable and if you have a guy who can play you keep em.

 

[CATCH17]

Depends on what you can get but to me TJ Bass can start for a lot of teams.

 

[TheDank]

Trading Bass feels like Chavarious Ward 2.0. Bass is an excellent backup and probably an average starter at least right now. Keep that depth at the very least and let him keep getting stronger to become one of our starters. OL always has some injuries throughout the year.

Highly unlikely to get a depth piece with his upside in a player for player trade.

 

[Flamma]

The question isn't are you just willing though. It's are you taking the initiative and calling around the league looking to move Bass for a DT?

Yes. Bass for Chris Jones.

 

[Jarv]

This, you beat me too it. Can we get a good DT for Martin, one would think!

 

[KingintheNorth]

He's cheap and under team control for three more seasons. I would not actively try to trade him.

Now if someone called, I would listen.

Don't forget, this franchise greatly overestimates their own roster. They tried to trade a 1st and Anthony Brown for Jamal Adams and the Jets laughed. Now, you could argue that Seattle greatly overpaid for Adams, but the going rate was two 1sts and a 3rd. Pretending Anthony Brown, who was picked up and cut by 3 NFL teams last year and is now out of the league, is equivalent to a 1st and 3rd is high-level delusion.

 

[Bobhaze]

There‘s not an untouchable player on this team for the right price. Key being the right price.

 

[noshame]

No not this year
If Bass seems to be solid as many think do you trade Martin for a kings ransom and keep adding draft picks in 2025.

 

[RodeoJake]

I'd rather hypothetically contemplate trading Steele

 

[ElGatoGrande]

It would have to be a helluva lopsided trade, good OL are just too hard to come by(and keep) and this team needs an above average OL to compete.

 

[Nova]

Yes. But Player for player trades rarely happen, and I don’t think Bass’ name carries enough weight to fetch something worthwhile… yet
