Any of these guys have value in a trade?

Mathieu’s contract makes it impossible. Olave would get us the best return, but tough to give up one of the only promising young players on the team

Olave would if he wasn’t hurt, but we need wr more than anything else

Young may have some value

We already have issues at wr. Trading Olave makes no sense. We still need players to build around.

He's racking up concussions so nobody is giving a good return for him anyway.

I’d ship Olave in a heartbeat if we got a 3rd or above.

As sad as it is to say the guy has had 5 concussions since college. He likely won’t be long for this league. I’d assume a team trading for him would be smart enough to see that.

Olave is cost controlled for 2 more seasons(assuming 5th year option). I wouldn’t trade him now. If we draft a QB, he needs something around him.

If his concussions clear up and we’re still in bad shape in 2026, then trade him.

He’s more likely to incur more concussions at this point than “clear up.” That doesn’t really happen with as many as he’s had.

What's promising about Olave? No sarcasm. All i see is a WR2 that is oft injured and goes down on the slightest contact.

I don’t disagree. I just wouldn’t trade him NOW.

What difference does it make that our wide receiving corps needs Olave?
We are tanking anyway.

Young definitely should be traded because he on a 1 yr contract and we not really going to him after this year

Disagree. You cannot build around someone who's not physically available.
-He's not a true WR1
-He's not going to last much longer, or you'll see him be less aggressive going after catches. I don't even blame him, just saying.
-Olave is has missed several games in his young career already, I hope we don't offer him a long term 2nd contract. But that sounds exactly like something Mickey Loomis would do.
