Would you trade Jake Long to get RG3?

[DFINS#1]

would not make the move way to much to give up! Jake still is one of the best if not the best left tackle in the league and whoever will be quarterbacking needs a solid o-line and he is the anchor.

2005	24	Aaron Rodgers	Quarterback	California
2006	5	A. J. Hawk	Linebacker	Ohio State
2007	16	Justin Harrell	Defensive tackle	Tennessee
2008	—	No pick	—	—	[SUP][gg][/SUP]
2009	9	B. J. Raji	Defensive tackle	Boston College
2009	26	Clay Matthews III	Linebacker	Southern California	[SUP][hh][/SUP]
2010	23	Bryan Bulaga	Offensive tackle	Iowa
2011	32	Derek Sherrod	Offensive tackle	Mississippi State

They key pick was Rodgers!

AJ Hawk, LB which I said was a key position. Damn Good Player.

Justin Harrell - Not Even on team anymore.

BJ Raji - He was a consensus pick and they needed him to solidify the 3-4 scheme on defense. A NT is key in the 3-4.

Clay Matthews - LB which again I said is a key position. They are the field generals and play key roles in run and pass defense and in the 3-4 are critical for pressure. Matthews was a steal.

Bryan Bulaga - Didn't play his rookie year much. This year has been ok but not great.

Derek Sherrod - Dude hasn't played consistently.

Key is - They are not overpaying their OT's. Jake was instantly the highest paid OT in the game as a rookie. He will get another HUGE PAYDAY in free agency or as Franchise Tag. I don't believe you can tie up that much money in an OT.

What team in the playoffs has a HIGH PRICED OT or OL for that matter.

Denver - NO
Cincinatti - NO
Pittsburgh - NO
Baltimore - NO
Houston - NO
New England - Mankins

New Orleans - NO
Green Bay - NO
New York - NO
San Francisco - NO
Atlanta - NO
Detroit - NO
So what was your point? I missed it!

Great post.

I dont even think Jake Long is tradeable with that contract combined with the new rookies contract rule... Lets say your the Rams and you'd actually like the idea of having a top notch LT. Why would you give up compensation to get Jake Long with his contract when you could just pick up the best tackle in the draft with your pick for a small fraction of the price? It just doesnt make sense... The reality is, you're not even looking to trade Jake Long anymore, your trading his contract,.
