WHO HAS THE 2nd HIGHEST TRADE VALUE IN THE NFL ???????????

[Bretsky]

Sports have had some interesting polls this week.
ONE of them asked.........who has the top trade value in the NFL

This takes into effect the Current Contract as well as the quality of the player

To nobody's surprise, and ESPN agreed, Rodgers was #1 on their list, even at the salary.

BUT WHO WAS #2 ????


Give me your #2 and why..............and if you dare...predict who the nation selected


The answers might surprise you........................

AP man. The dude's a game changer. Sure, he can't single handidly bring a team to the playoffs, but I don't know anyone out there who could get the jaguars there. You put AP on a top 10 team, they are instantly the favorites.

[Patler]

Should be someone like Joe Thomas. One of the best at a key position, signed for what should be the balance of the best part of his career, at a decent enough cost that will look better and better in coming years, and still has a decent career length ahead of him. Doubtful the average fan will think that way.

heres an interesting thought

ap is 28, with a ton of wear on those tires from college and the pros

he might only have a couple seasons left in the tank

Is Herschel Walker still playing somewhere?

or, considering that he shrugged off an ACL tear as if it never happened, he might have anther 10years left.

Is it Greg Jennings?

Seriously I'd say Brees

AP was NOT in the top 5

The question in itself forces one to dig deeper....it's not about who is the best player

It's who has the highest trade value given their contract

Who excels in terms of bang for the buck

One could argue there are RB's teams would prefer for their wage over AP for his

You were on track with the thoughts of the poll; I believe Joe Thomas was coming in at #6

Very true; if you are are GM you are probably not giving up the house for AP even though he may be the best player in the game

Brees for the money was not in the top 5

odell thurman?

i'm guessing its RGIII, or kapernick or wilson maybe

[denverYooper]

JJ Watt.

[Patler]

The thing with Watt, Wilson, Kapernick, RGIII and the like is that they are cheap only for the next few seasons, then who knows? To some extent, they are also unproven because careers do sometimes burn brightly for a short time, then flame out. I would look for guys who have proven themselves to be good solid NFL'ers for years, but are signed to long contracts at affordable costs.

His annual hamstring issues lower Matthews' value in my opinion.
Stafford might be one to consider. He has shown a lot of promise, is young, but has a long, manageable contract.

now you are hitting on the top of the poll..surprisingly....Kapernick....not top 5
