I know everyone is now, if you weren't already, willing to admit Gute likely ought to do something to rectify the kicker situation.
HOWEVER, as many know those on the streets are limited BUT would you support the concept of trading for a kicker?
Here we sit in a TOUGH division where every team is at worst 4-2...we've only lost a game our QB got hurt in the final drive on and to a tough Vikings team where we made numerous turnovers in ruining drives...our defense is climbing the ranks of being potentially special in numerous metrics and when Love is firing this team has been MONEY.
Only two players really jump to me as a trade worthy option...
Nick Folk (Titans) - This one is a combination of a guy who is on the back three holes of his career (40) but has been a well above average kicker and is having an excellent 2024 campaign on a team that is a terrible 1-4 and just a loss or two away from this season being a fruitless endeavor. He is also in his final year of a contract.
Eddy Pineiro (Panthers) - Another guy having an excellent 2024, has been quite the solid kicker typically in his shorter career (four years), final year of his contract on a TERRIBLE team. He actually may be the only good thing happening in Carolina right now.
Now what exactly is a fair price for a trading for a kicker....could one of our bottom tier type WRs (Heath or Melton) perhaps grab one? My guess is only Titans would be interested as their whole group is older than 30+ essentially except for Burks...would you say yes to any of the deals below:
Titans get Malike Heath + 6th Rounder and we get Folk?
Titans get 5th Rounder and we get Folk and 7th rounder back?
Titans get 4th rounder and we get Folk and 6th rounder back?
I don't really know what I'm willing to give up for Folk....now Pineiro is young enough your likely trading and planning on off season extending IF he is successful here too....
Just an exercise of thought...
