Who is your Surprise Trade Candidate?

The Jets sent: Jamal Adams and a 4th round pick.

The Jets receieved: 1st round pick 2021, 1st round pick 2022, 3rd round pick 2021, and Seattle's starting safety Bradley McDougal

For Bates, I'd want at minimum: A 1st and a legitmately good player we can plug in and start somewhere, or a 1st and a 3rd.  

Fwiw, Jamal Adams was in a very similar situation as Bates currently is.  Going into 4th year, still on a rookie contract.  No long term deal on place.  In fact, Seattle still hasn't signed him to an extension.  He's playing on a 5th year optiion and is due to become a FA in 2022 if something doesn't get done.

Note: I don't want to trade Bates, but I'm just trying to paint a picture of what I think his market may look like.

Nice breakdown. I think the Bengals absolutely need elite talent and am not advocating a Bates trade. But, in the spirit of the thread, came up w my outside the box guy.

Hopefully Bates can keep it consistant and get paid in Cincy!
