Trade deadline is next sim and I've got a few guys we can do without. No old and busted here, just young guys and low prices. I'd probably only want to trade one or two of the defensive ends, but I'ma listing all three just to see if I get any bites at all.
C - Kyle Gardner, 4th year, 47/47 (53/53 league scout) - asking for a 6th
Drafting Poff in the first round means I have one more center than I need, and I'd lose too much in dead cap moving the rookie (also, he still has that affinity). Gardner meanwhile is the last year of his deal and asking for 3 years/$25.7 million to resign.
DE - Sam Brewer, rookie, 33/56 (32/59 league scout) - asking for a 4th
Our 2nd round pick in this years draft and, depending on how much Poff keeps dropping, potentially our best pick of the draft. Brewer saw a big bump after TC (+8 by my scout, +15 by the league scout) but some of that may have been from the move to DE. He was undersized at DT and unable to bulk up. He also converts to linebacker at 90-93% depending on which position, but should probably slim down first.
DE - Bucky Stoole, rookie, 27/45 (25/53 league scout) - asking for a 5th
Another rookie DE who saw a big bump after TC (or week 2 of the preseason or whenever it happens now) only without an accompanying position move. I've just got too many young players at this position to keep them all. I'd quit drafting them, but they always come up as best player available.
DE - Harry Walton, 2nd year, 40/45 (37/41 league scout) - asking for a 7th
Walton was one of last year's big bump rookies, +9 by my staff, +18 by the league scout. He started for us last year, then this year saw a big drop after TC. Double dose of volatility? Funky FoF7 unmasking? Hell if I know. He is still starting for us, but for pretty much any other team he looks like cheap, young backup material.
