3 potential trades before deadline

[Colt Classic]

Ignoring that Vontae has been less than stellar this year, which of the other two would be considered talent that must be kept? Neither figures into the team's long-term plans. Never mind the fact that Vontae is loaded up on "don't give a shit" pills this year. I'd take a sixth for either Donte or Gore and a third for VD, not because they "suck" or are "worthless" per se, but moreso just to go full-on with new blood that gives a damn consistently.

I am glad that you are not our GM. Getting rid of Gore would leave us with a rookie and Ferguson. Giving up Davis would leave us even thinner at CB and our backups are atrocious. Moncrief would not net us anything in a trade that would cover his potential value to this team. Yes, this is a lost season, but no way those guys should be traded, especially for 6th round picks.

I would not trade davis for a 6th round pick, but if we can get a #2 for Davis or Moncrief, I would take it.

And so what if we just have a rookie and Ferguson in the backfield? At least Mack could get some playing time this way and sign a vet from somewhere as well.

If we trade Vontae for a 6th round pick then I promise to donate to whatever GoFundMe gets created in order to collect funds to organize a riot to burn Lucas Oil Stadium.

Nobody is offering a #2 for either. That is my point.

I don't think that Voante's less than stellar play can be totally placed on him.

Monachino is a terrible coach, and plays far too much zone. Even playing 20% zone is too much for this team.

A lot of times players are traded more to unload their salary than what they can fetch in return.

Yet, we have those three as expiring contracts, so that is another reason why it is a dumb idea. The "journalist" didn't do his due diligence with this one.
