Looking at this roster, it was supposed to be mostly set for a couple of seasons… but it looks like there could be a ton of guys that may be moved for various reasons
Here are some higher profile ones
*0. Mike Tomlin… yes a pipe dream, but if they decide to move on from him, he could garner anything from multiple 1sts to a couple of mid round picks… coaches traded tend to be pricey. He probably returns a first plus… Im not listing him as one of the ten because honestly I don’t think it will happen.
1. Dionte Johnson… trade simulators still value him at a low first round pick or high second… he is a known route runner and teams overvalue that.. Id target KC, who needs an experienced wr like him badly.
2. Cam Heyward… Heyward is very pricey and deserves a chance at a championship.. this would be more a pity trade.. probably for something low…
3. George Pickens. I almost assume he will demand a trade in the offseason. I would also assume that they will want no less than a second round pick for him… that may be unattainable if he continues to tank
4. Chuks okafor. Dude is almost certainly out the door… too pricey as a backup, can’t play LT… with the value of Olinemen, id expect he returns something like a fourth, even with his contract…
5. Pat Friermuth. He will be due a very pricey extension and hasn’t improved blocking at all… he would probably have a first round return and honestly I have durability concerns with him… I dont like the idea of giving him a contract extension with a double digit AAV
6. Dan Moore Jr. I would love for them to target another Tackle in the Draft. BJ needs to go to the left side. Moore apparently can’t play the Right for some reason, so dealing him for a low mid pick makes sense, probably the 4th we spent on him..
7. Najeh Harris. His Haters would love this, but if they decide they don’t want to pick up his option, shopping him to someone who may could be advantageous… you won’t get the first you put into him back, but you might get a second or third that you can draft a younger RB with
8. Mason Cole. He hasn’t been the answer at C … he was a good guard in the past… he might have conditional pick value because teams need olinemen ..
9. Trubisky, Mitch… he is done here. He probably needs cut, but of we do make a play to Bring in Fields from Chicago as a reclamation project, he could definitely be sent back the other way as part of the package . His best success was in Chicago and many think he wasn’t given a fair chance with their coach..
10. Kenny Pickett… ok I know there is about a .001% chance he is traded before year 3, there are tons of reasons why not to, but if they think they have a viable Starter lined up in the Draft and he isn’t going to be given a real shot here, you definitely should deal him… if for no other reason than if he develops elsewhere then you absolutely know what the problem is here…
