He ranked somewhere around 27th out of 67 DT's that played. He had a few injuries that he had to over come but seems to be going the right direction. DT in most schemes does not get the glory the edge rushers do he does the dirty work. I think he would help the D if you are gonna move Hopkins for a 3rd. He is gonna break out and like I said a 3rd or Oliver give me Oliver everytime. 27 out 67 is mediocre and over $10M is top tier pay and last year of contract means it is better to sign such a player in FA at a reasonable price. If he had a couple of years on rookie contract and production was better he would have trade value. Another Strong signing is better at least both parties are in agreement instead of getting a team’s player who is over paid and going into FA in 2024 They won't do a trade unless they agree on a salary.

No they won't do the trade unless there is a new contract in place.

I would be all over Ed Oliver for Nuk if Ed Agreed in principle to a 3 year contract extension, that Monti and him were agreeable with. He has been available and missed almost no games so far in his career and more productive than Z Allen. He would have to want to be in AZ. Yes, but it would have to be a contract in line with his performance the last four years, not some imagined potential. He’s a decent Dlineman who should not have been picked #9 when the hype was that Aaron Donald store guys could be repeated. Yeah the guy has upside and no one is gonna over pay him because he has not lived up to where he was drafted. I think that ankle injury and missing four games kinda hurt him so he will not be over paid. Right now it's just talk but I think the guy could be a good young anchor for the Dline and someone who could actually help us. Heck we might not even get offered a third for Hopkins but at this point I am ok with Hopkins staying and I would rather have a trade similar to this over a 3rd or 4th pick for Hopkins.
