I would 100% be actively shopping Bynum, Ward and Downs. The amount of effort they showed on Sunday says more than enough about how they feel about this team
Would I have made this trade? No.
Re-sign him, franchise tag him. Do whatever it takes to keep him and let him protect for the next young QB.
Players like Quenton Nelson don’t just come round all the time. He’s a franchise cornerstone, future ROH and future HoF player
Here’s my thoughts on the Nelson trade:
You make this trade for a couple of reasons:
- avoid paying a big extension to a vet in a rebuild
- do Nelson a favour sending him to a winner
- Goncalves is playing at a pro bowl level
- they like what they see in Farmer
