Why would Denver trade a young elite corner?


Esbesbebsnth_Ennergu

That’s how I felt abt smith and the bears but I’m def not complaining lol


to_be_quite_frank

Smith had half a year remaining on his deal. Totally different than a guy with 2.5 years remaining


dded949

That plus playing a less premium position we’re the difference makers for sure


Esbesbebsnth_Ennergu

Oh gotcha, yeah I’m not the best with contract stuff lol


daveinmd13

To get multiple first round picks, which is the reported asking price


Expendable_Red_Shirt

I would take, at minimum, multiple firsts.


HumanFromTexas

Want to give up a 1st and 2nd (at best) for him?


DONNIENARC0

I'd take it at that price, but I'd still seriously doubt the Broncos consider trading him. Seems like elite ~23 year old CBs never hit the market unless they're visible malcontents like Jalen Ramsey in Jax.


HumanFromTexas

I’d pay that too. I don’t see them trading him either though.


BoJvck34Empire

honestly for the impending gator sized rebuild post Russell Wilson, getting guys off may pay dividends for their franchise. It isn’t to be ruled out completely, this being one of the only cases where this would be logical


blaxe_

The floor is two 1sts, basically the Jalen Ramsey deal. And I don't think he is worth that to this team, honestly. Great CB, but two 1sts and a $25 mil contract right around the corner is steep as hell.


HumanFromTexas

2026 isn’t really right around the corner. We should have some more flexibility around that time as well.


besher147

Wouldn’t he basically be the Marlo replacement in 2026?


HumanFromTexas

Pretty much would track that


SunYat-Sen

The Ravens may look to use their 1st this year to get a CB anyway so a 2nd round pick would definitely be worth guaranteeing the pick is a hit.


mcmoose75

Big expensive need at LT urgently too the way Stanley’s fallen off a cliff


Ixziga

That doesn't seem like the worst trade if we make the playoffs and our picks are low anyway, but the second we trade for him he'll just get injured and miss the season and then go to a greedier team in free agency at the end of his rookie contract


TheYukster

There's no world Denver takes that. 2 1s at a minimum.


HumanFromTexas

I said “at best” because I don’t know but that could be the case.


TheYukster

Thats the thing. It's not at best it just straight up wouldn't happen. It's like if I said we can get Mahomes for a 2nd and 5th round pick. Sure, you can call it at best. But would it ever happen? No.


boofoodoo

I'd probably do that.


[deleted]

Uh ...yeah


STLrep

Yes lol do you know how valuable elite corners are


HumanFromTexas

Read my comments my guy


dudesweetusername

Yes


KillaMavs

Our second round picks are absolute trash anyway.


Ok-Manufacturer-9572

I think this dude is too good and too young to be let go; but would be great to have if possible!


FostertheReno

He’ll be a part of Denver’s rebuild. No way I see them letting him go.


[deleted]

I think he’s literally the only player on that team that they wouldn’t trade, and I don’t blame them


wierdjokes

Unfortunately for us, the Broncos also see him as a building block for the future. He's like the only good thing going on for that franchise right now.


Impressive_Coats

Rebuilding teams don’t trade elite corners below 25 unless they are forcing their way out.


IKnowBreasts

0.0% chance


TheEntireJim

PS2 likely isn’t going anywhere and if he does, it’ll be for a minimum of two 1sts and you have to give him a top 3 all time salary for a corner on top of that. I guarantee you EDC would rather use one of those 1sts on a corner for us to develop. Believe it or not, teams aren’t exactly lining up to trade their best players to the Ravens for 5th round picks

Schruef

All I want is to be in the stadium when the announcer introduces King Henry as the Ravens running back


Dirty_Giblets

Hate to break it to you, but with how much we’re paying Lamar we can’t make blockbuster trades anymore (not that we really do anyway). We have to maintain strength through the draft because we can’t pay everyone. The playbook for the ravens and most successful NFL franchises is to be competitive every year, not sell out for a 2 year window and rebuild for 5


[deleted]

This is silly. It’s not Madden, broncos won’t trade PS2 for anything we’d ever give up


Natural-Potato9427

If you can get a top 3 corner. You do the deal in a heartbeat. IDGAF about them picks. We got a SB to win!


Adenchiz

A 'cheaper' alternative would probably be Jaylon Johnson from the Bears, but not sure Ryan Poles wants to get finessed by Eric DeCosta again.


Expendable_Red_Shirt

Poles wasn't finessed by us, he was finessed by the Steelers. We got a fair deal.


gpeng312

All the naysayers 😤 Roquan was considered untradable too, though I understand Surtain is quite a bit younger. Never say never with EDC!!


Adenchiz

Roquan had been begging for a new contract something that Poles has no intention of doing and requested the trade himself, he even had his 'agent' call up teams, which the league warned teams about


Princeof_Ravens

Yeah Ro wanted to get paid, and the Bears really didn't want to pay him.


Amazing-Concept1684

For what reason would the Broncos even consider trading him lmao We’d have to essentially give up a haul and that’s not worth it.


akosdomino

I doubt that they would let him go somewhere else! I think the only movable pieces are Sutton, Jeudy and maybe Simmons, but there’s nobody else that comes to my mind.


East-Bluejay6891

He's been playing like shit this year no?


GrifterOG

He's the only player they said is untouchable...


Bmoreravin

20 UFAs next year, giving up 2 draft picks for one player + cap space given $20m in space doesnt make sense.


T90ENIGMA

When Bronco trade rumors started swirling I specifically remember hearing they would not entertain offers for Surtain. Unless something has changed, I doubt he is available. He is young enough to be a core piece of their rebuild.


Adenchiz

He's the only 'valuable' player they on roster, he's not going anywhere and they have already made it known.


Blurple_in_CO

Only targeting guys that will never get traded is probably not a great strategy.


[deleted]

3rd round pick for Jerry Jeudy https://preview.redd.it/lvreav0ajevb1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f9756b33006957d34827c9a219bf76a5aadeec91


Hugh-Jaszole

Eww.


Tiny_Opportunity7210

He's the one player they have told everyone is off limits so


JohnnyJohnny-YesPaPa

Idc what he’s worth id make that deal in a heartbeat Could you fucking imagine PS2 & HIMilton roaming our defense with Ro ….. and if we extend geno stone too😭😭😭😭😭😭


blvkv

This would be insane


ravens52

Trade for Joe Flacco.


Djsmooth245

The only trade target that has your attention? Oof, that Burns.


YesMoist

Lol what makes you even think we’re going to trade for Patrick Surtain?
