    Five players on the block after the NFL Draft

    With all the chatter about Mettenberger and/or his agent floating hints about him wanting to be traded, I think they may be on to something. The Jets took Leonard Williams, which puts 3-4 DE Wilkerson in a similar position as Mett, effectively. Why not make both of them happy and trade Mett for Wilkerson? We might have to throw in Pitoitua...whom Wilkerson would replace.

    This way, we get our mauling 3-4 DE anyway, and the Jet's get themselves a QB some think can be a starter in the league. Once that trade is done, let's get on the phone with Andy Reid and try to take one of his extra QB's off his hands. I'm sure he'd be all for it, as he's been stocking up and someone is going to get cut before the start of the season.

    I personally would prefer to trade them a 4th or 5th Rd pick next year for Aaron Murray. It might take a little more to make it happen, but it would be worth it, IMHO. KC now has 5 QB's on their roster, after signing Bo Wallace (Ole Miss) to a rookie FA contract. They'll probably trim 2 of those in training camp, so why not help them make their decision easier?

    A sixth round QB with 6 games under his belt isn't worth anything to anybody. Probably couldnt get the 6th round pick back for him.

    P.S. I think Mett can be a decent QB. But reality is he has zero trade value.

    Not only is Mett a 6th rd pick with just 6 games under his belt he has had injury issues, knee and shoulder and a criminal conviction. There was a reason he lasted until the 6th rd.

    The most we could get for him is perhaps a 4th rd pick. Since he makes almost nothing why bother? Just keep him for another season and see what he can do. He is signed for the next 3 seasons and makes the bare minimum. If he does play for whatever reason and does well his trade value grows.

    Why would we want to trade our starting QB?

    As indicated, Mett has no trade value really. There's a good chance that Mariota will miss some time this season, giving Mett a chance to prove himself again. We still don't know if Mariota out plays Mett in practice and the pre-season.
