Should we trade Josh Sweat?

Do we get to count this as a Monti win?

No, but he shares credit with JG for the original signing

Advocating for the perpetual two steps forward three steps back method of teambuilding seems mad to me. You simply dont get get better by constantly jettisoning your hgigher end talent (I get that its relative, team by team) and replace them with hopes and dreams.

At some point you have to build on a solid foundation. You cant keep taking it back to bare earth. There are better ways to move forward.

Sweat is a 29 year old speed rusher that has played about 60% of available snaps in his career.

Sweat isn't a foundation of anything, he's a Edge #2 on a playoff quality team. He's Alex Highsmith but with 15% less snaps.

We have no QB. By the time we have a QB worth anything Sweat will be a 31 years old speed rusher in decline.

Cash in while you can and use that to get the QB we need.

And that's not even factoring in him obviously being unhappy that we sacked the reason he came here and the potential decline that will come with having a guy not giving 100%.

I know you want to tank, but let's not be so obvious about it, eh?

I understand that you find this as a valid argument, but it doesn't land for me. They don't need the money, they aren't spending it. They don't need to get young pass rushers reps, they don't really have any. They don't need the picks, they haven't done great with the ones they have had.

IMO, if they are going to draft a young QB, better to have a pass rusher on the decline who is at least a better than league average to help support that QB than a 3rd round pick that likely will not amount to anything.

He came to AZ for the contract.

At some point you have to start establishing the credibility of the organization if you want to be able to do anything, be taken seriously by potential free agenst, to not be told by player representation to "not draft my guy" You have to win now. we ESPECIALLY have to win now. When you suck as perpetually as we do, you dont get to play the long game. You have to play for now. Jettisoning talent does not accomplish anything for us.

I’ll go against the grain a little here and agree with you Brit if the plan is to draft a QB next year.

But how can that be Monti’s long term plan?

He’ll be the one getting sacked if we lose 12 or 13 games again.
