I have mixed views on wether we should make big trades. Especially, considering that we have a generational talent at QB.

On one hand making a big trade would make our roster better in the now but on the other hand losing draft picks hurts our ability to help the team in the future.

The time to make a big trade has passed unless you are in the market for Brandon aiyuk.

That said, we could (objectively) look to add some help to the DE and CB area. Still some FAs that I think could bring something to the table. Below are the best available remaining I pulled from a list updated this week. Not sure about scheme fit, but still some solid options.

Yannick Ngakoue
Carl Lawson
Charles Harris
Tyus Bowser
Marquis Haynes
Shaq Lawson

Xavien Howard
Adoree’ Jackson
Stephon Gilmore
Patrick Peterson
J.C. Jackson
Ahkello Witherspoon
Keion Crossen
Eli Apple
Chandon Sullivan
Stantley Thomas-Oliver
Aaron Robinson
