Trade ideas for today

[Stash]

Jackson Powers Johnson has fallen out of favor in Las Vegas.

He’s a player I coveted in the draft and he’s lost in the shuffle with the Raiders resetting the center wage scale by signing Tyler Linderbaum.

I’d like to capitalize on that decision by trading for him.

It would give us a solid option inside at either guard or center and protect the team should they have issues at left tackle. You could shift Tyler Smith out there full time and play either Beebe or Powers Johnson at left guard.

I’d go as high as offering a 2027 3rd round pick.

So, with today being June 1 and with the Myles Garrett trade happening, this is a good time for some trade ideas for today. I think the first challenge is to find players that have trade value. YES, this will be a lot of fishing for options and YES, there will be some fishing attempts for scraps we have. But, worst thing that can happen is that another team would say no, so let's have some fun with this. Let's be honest, we are in THAT part of the offseason.

• Try to trade Bell for a 6 or 7 round pick - he probably won't make the team. Especially since we have a rare surplus and bottleneck in talent at safety. We got him undrafted anyway. So, a 6 or 7 round pick would be a good return for him.
• Overshown - let's be honest, that was a devastating injury he had. Maybe we could trade him for a mid round pick? We actually might have some decent talent around him to where it wouldn't hurt that much to trade him away.
• Using a 6th round pick for a player like Kiko Mauigoa - if we have a late round pick like a 6th round pick (perhaps possibly if we get one from Overshown or Bell), maybe we can use one for Kiko Mauigoa. I remember when we used one in 2019 for Robert Quinn, and maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to do that again? Chances are, it nets us a higher comp pick should Mauigoa leave in FA.
• Bland for a pick? - while I think Bland can be a pick 6 magnet again with the dline I think we are developing, id be curious what we could get for him. If we can get a 2 or 3 for him, perhaps we could move him, especially with Durant, Revel, and Moore on the roster? And maybe we can flip that pick for a top LB as well? Either way, might be worth exploring.
• Sam Williams - let's be honest, this is another fishing expedition for me. But, hey, maybe a team bites for a 6 for him? While he is good for an idiotic play or two in a season, he's also good for a few good plays in a season. And he's cheap. So, maybe we can get a 6 for him?
• Spann-Ford for a player?- this is a definite fishing expedition, but maybe we could flip Spann-Ford for a player like Mauigoa? They could use a TE, and we could use Mauigoa at LB. Plus, between Gant, Ferguson, and Schoonmaker, maybe we have sufficient at TE. Plus, I'm intrigued by Trigg at TE. Maybe moving Spann-Ford would open up space for Trigg.

Please feel free to share any fishing expeditions you might think of?

Good post Rusty, I would trade Schoonmaker for a 6th and keep Spann Ford though. This will probably be Overshown's last year in Dallas because of the agent he signed with, so you may be on to something, but another good linebacker would be needed to replace Overshown. Trading Bell for a 6th would be a good move, I doubt he makes the team unless he plays good on special teams. Dallas needs to add some draft capital for next year's draft that's for sure, if the Cowboys trade for Jordyn Brooks, a 4th for Overshown might be a good move. Brooks led the league in tackles last year. Trigg should be a beast at tight end / slot receiver the way he can high point the ball, he's got great hands.

I'd be happy with this
