If I am Steve Keim and I want to be in the playoffs I am out looking to trade for inside offensive linemen Centers, and both guards especially right guard. I am still looking for a serviceable cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick 38.2 rating doesn't cut it Alex Mack is a free agent next year. Could be a win for Falcons too if they garner a pick

One player from each team to trade. Link, below. bleacherreport.com/articles/2913540-one-player-who-should-be-traded-from-every-nfl-teamAlways a good read these type of articles and gives you an opportunity to pick a personal favorite. A 'swap' deal would be nice. From what Steve Keim has recently stated then we are going to be very reluctant to give up any significant draft capital. Concerns around the reduction in the Salary Cap would make doing so a big gamble. We need cheaper younger talent coming onto the roster (via the draft) in preference of older proven (and expensive) vets. However, there is always the possibility and temptation out there...

Hi Devongent, I posted last week that an interior lineman is a player to trade for a center/guard. I said especially right guard. Well right after that what happens JR Sweezy goes on injured reserve. He had his weaknesses and now we could use some depth at that position. Hassan Reddick seems to be the trade bait of all of our starters. Because of the salary cap circumstances, youth is going to be the way to go for many teams including our own Cardinals.

Hello FL; Unfortunately, decent Centers/ Guards at this juncture are as rare as hen's teeth. I am resigned to 'running with what we have got' for the remainder of the season.
I am keen to get in a real good guard in the 2021 draft. - Those top 3 round picks are especially critical and as posted on the draft thread I would like a CB, IOL and an 'offensive weapon' with this trio. - All things being equal (unfortunately, things never are) I would go CB in Round one, but if our specific targets are gone then I would certainly be minded to take a Wyatt Davis (true RG), or your suggestion, Creed Humphrey, especially if Mason Cole is struggling at season's end (hopefully not), if available. - Anyway, I digress...
I don't believe we have a 4th round pick. - Going back to a trade now then I would be willing to use a late rounder, particularly as a makeweight in a possible swap deal (say Reddick + 5th, 6th or 7th for 'player X'). - I'm not set on any one position as long as the incomer is a genuine upgrade on what we have now AND the player is not aged. - If the new man fills a hole on the roster and he is deemed to be a great acquisition for the future, at reasonable cost, then that would be good for me.

Trades? What trades? It's not just the Cardinals GM Keim that is hunkered down for the 2020 year. No GM is wagging his tongue or waving owner's wallet right now, looking to trade flesh for picks or trade cash for other's roster trimmings.
The NYJ play/trade/cut dilemma last week with RB Bell highlights the lack of GM and owner appetite for big-ticket risk. The next NFL season kicks off March 2021. CAP space is likely to be significantly reduced next year due to several factors: COVID impacts on TV viewership and broadcaster's timeslot pricing, and the NFL's reduced TV contracts. GMs and owners hear the sucking sound and have to plan worst case 2021. Trading any picks into a CAP headwind is likely GM suicide.
Keim should sit tight for now.

Per CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora:
"League sources indicated a number of teams are preparing to engage in trade talks with Houston in hopes of fortifying their rosters for a playoff push. In particular, general managers and personnel execs have pointed to pass rusher Whitney Mercilus, linebacker Zach Cunningham, corner Bradley Roby, tight end Darren Fells and receivers Brandin Cooks and/or Will Fuller as potential trade targets.

He's at/near the end of his rookie contract. Houston is trying their best to turn him into a WR1. He might want to get paid like one despite his injury history. That said, he is an intriguing receiver.

How about Ryan Kerrigan for a 1 year rental? He is on the last year of his contract, thus no significant commitment for an uncertain 2021.

That said, he is an intriguing receiver. Yes, I saw that having looked into the option of trading for Fuller further. - Basically the Texans cannot pay him next year and thus (it seems) they are resigned to losing him. - All other teams are subsequently well aware of this and thus I believe that no-one will be offering anything like a 3rd round pick (should indeed anyone be interested). After the win yesterday there is a chance that the FO might decide to 'go for it' should we really believe that a SB is a possibility this season. I accept PutMeIn's sentiments stated above, but the temptation to 'do something' is always there. Hopkins - Kirk - Fuller all together could be a mouthwatering prospect. Still a role for Larry (possibly as a hybrid TE/ WR) and Isabella can also still have a part to play. If we were to go for Fuller then it might be a similar situation to last year with Drake; that we end up gambling a lower round pick for his services this season and hoping that he comes off and we can then sign him up for the longer term. It certainly would give us an excellent WR stable for now and it would allow us to focus our draft picks elsewhere. What might it take in draft capital for the Texans to deal? I think that our 5th Rounder might do it, but it depends if there are any other suiters who may ratchet up his trade value. Due to his past injury situation there may be less interest in Fuller from elsewhere than many might believe. Anyway, he is (at least) an illustration of the type of transaction that we certainly could now consider...

If this team make a trade it needs to be OL or CB I think another WR is one the last position on need on this team. The WR Corp must have better pass plays from Kliff. Perhaps some of those timing routes to Hop & Fitz like Warner used to toss to Boldin & Fitz.
