I have a good source outside of the organization that has said he’s be informed by a friend inside the organization that a trade between the Big Red & another team have a trade.

He was not told most of the details by this person, pending finalization. No idea whom the teams or players/picks involved, but he said his source said its “big”. I was told it could get done in the coming days or possibly even when the new league year begins on FA kickoff.

I trust this person. Last season I was told 3 weeks before the draft they were drafting Murray #1 & shared that info with a select few. Then it happened lol :)

Let the speculation begin.

I don’t think it will happen on Wednesday but I guess it could lol

Maybe it's DJ to the Bucs?

True, but it would be "big" getting his contract off the books, at least a good portion of it.

Ah ok, big for the impact of the salary
Yes but I think even with a trade there will be a cap hit moving him

Don't know maybe is something about p21
At one point they should let him go and getting some compensation

Letting PP go would make our defense even worse. Makes only sense if we get Okudah. Okudah slipping to us has a chance of maybe 10%. You don't trade up for a CB with so much blue chip talent available at 8.

It has to be DJ to a team that has tons of cap space and a potential need at RB or pass catching specialist. Tbh I'd still love a toothless DJ as a complement to a more dynamic runner like Drake, since DJ still has the rare ability to win on downfield throws as a RB. But his hefty price tag is too much for a pure pass catching RB.

Just read on ROTB that the team is going to trade Reddick. I know that is not a huge trade, but does show that they are interested in making trades. So maybe the rumor is true.

I've been expecting a Reddick trade.

He's not an OLB at the LOS. He's an off ball SAM backer in a 4-3. That's been clear for some time.

I really don't get the DJ to Tampa thing. Why would Tampa trade for a RB who hasn't been very productive his last two years when they can sign a guy like Gordon for basically the same amount of money and get a guy who has proven to be productive the last two years.

The info was that a big trade will happen. Maybe we are the buyers and go for a player similar to Chandler Jones. Big-time producer who doesn't get paid by his team and gets traded.

Local new publications have been running a lot of Trent Williams stories the last couple of days. Gotta go with that one if I was a betting man.

The only name that makes sense is Reddick -- maybe one of the 3 WRs drafted from last year (but that wouldn't be "big"). DJ is practically untradeable at his salary. I guess Peterson would be big but that would make no sense as it would just make the team worse...maybe we found someone dumb enough to take Alford. I hope if it is the Cardinals giving up draft picks for an established player it isn't anything higher than a third.

Trent Williams makes no sense at his age and salary demands considering what we just signed Hump to.

If it’s a 1st for Peterson(it won’t be), I would drive Peterson to the airport so quick myself.

I'm with the folks who say it is Reddick. Trading D.J. without having Drake signed with all i's dotted and t's crosses would be foolish. Even after that it is questionable
to eat that much dead cap space.

Reddick for a third would be fantastic, but probably unrealistic.

Diggs and Chris Jones would be considered big trades IMO but unlikely

Calais Campbell would be amazing

Sounds crazy but we would only get a 2.4m hit to cap if we trade Humphries for Trent Williams (7 time pro bowler). Is that the reason we didn't give him a big signing bonus? The Redskins need a LT. Grassy knoll stuff...I get it.

Trading Reddick wouldn't be big IMO but trading him and/or David Johnson would be.

If PP21 said I am absolutely not re-signing here, that could be the trade but I expect he will sign a new deal here. If not, a #1 pick in this years draft would be awesome.

Early predictions...

Cards trade DJ
Cards trade Reddick
Cards trade for Stefon Diggs
Cards trade for Christian McCaffrey (I had this as a long shot but no longer think it would be)

Long shots...

Cards trade for Allen Robinson
Cards trade for Geno Atkins
