Who's In Who's Out in the QB Trade Sweepstakes
-
We now have 2 major QB names who are demanding trades: Aaron Rodgers and DeShaun Watson; plus we have Russell Wilson who has said he will accept a trade. So what teams are in and which ones are out if a trade for these guys could even be done? Of course, with Round one done, that means a huge opportunity to make a trade of a first round pick this year is gone for some teams, and others went with the QB of the future.
First, I am saying that Wilson is going nowhere. The Seahawks are keeping him...and though they have not yet made a pick in the draft, I would expect them to provide Wilson some OL help in rounds 2-3
Then, look at the teams who I say are OUT of the running
SFO....now Out. They took Lance #3 overall
Rams and Chargers, Arizon ....they got their guys with Stafford , Herbert and Murray
Cowboys....got Dak
Vikings....assume for now they are good with Cousins
Chiefs....ah...no
Bears...out now they took Fields
Colts....Wentz is their man
Browns/Bengals.....got their guys with Baker and Burrow
Titans...content with Tannehill
Jags and Bucs.....not now
Panthers....seemingly in on Darnold
Baltimore...sticking with Jackson
Jets/Giants/Bills....they have their young QBs in place.
Pats...no longer with drafting of Mac Jones.
So, who could be in the Hunt:
Denver Broncos......definitely....they are NOT going to stand pat with Lock and Bridgewater
Raiders....still possible I think even with vote of confidence given to Carr
Lions.....are they really sold on Goff?
Saints. They would dump both HIll and Winston in a New Orleans minute for the right deal
Falcons: Again, for right deal I think they would move on from Ryan
Miami....same story....not 100% sold on Tua
Washington....absolutely in the mix...they need someone now
Pittsburgh. Should be, but can't be, no assets/cap room
Eagles. Would obviously move on from Hurts for Watson
What would it take for any of these 9 teams to make a trade for Rodgers/Watson successful? I think it would take more to get Watson....just because of the age factor.
Of course, there are two teams I have not mentioned: Green Bay and Houston. Maybe they could just swap QBs.

Trade talks cool because of Watson sexual assault cases?
