Pollard to the Ravens?

If you think trading away AJ Brown was a bad idea, trading Simmons is far, far worse.  He's a high level established player in his prime. Trading him also likely gets a huge negative reaction from tea

Once the Jets got Brownlee they didn't need Gardener

Baltimore's positional spending on the OL is very low.  Lamar makes that entire offense work.

I was pretty shocked last season when the OL looked so good. They lost like 3 starters the previous off-season and I fully expected them to struggle a ton. Lamar was really doing the lord's work over there. The franchise is completely fucked without him.

In recent years, Jackson has been prime Aaron Rodgers with elite athleticism in terms of production/efficiency.  It's underplayed how much he helps the defense as well by keeping them off the field with his unprecedented dual threat ability and digging other teams into a hole.  They and the OL clearly are not very good, yet he's helped both perform at a very high level.

For sure. The Ravens defense was highly suspect last season too.

Lamar’s ability is fairly unique, but I’d also argue that no offense in the modern NFL has committed themselves to the dual threat quarterback and power run offense as much as Baltimore has. They have been the unicorn team for a decade. It’s remarkable considering the prevailing NFL mindset of the QB winning from the pocket. If Michael Vick had this kind of offense back in the day, for this long into his career, his legacy would be god tier, I’m guessing.

Wouldn’t be completely shocked if we trade Pollard. He’s a vet, we’re going nowhere, and quite a few teams need an adult at RB (Arizona/LAC/Dallas/KC). Also spears, chestnut, and mullings are all good enough to get similar production. 
 

Would mostly come down to what he wants.

Teams are straight trading CBs? That's weird. 

Kind of. I don't know what kind of schemes each team is running but IMO Tyson Campbell is a straight up press-man corner that can't really play anything else. Newsome is a very versatile corner that can play both man and zone pretty well.

Agree with the sentiment, but absent an almost standout return to form for Tajae -- who already has a dubious reliability history -- this would put a huge extra burden on Cam to carry the offense on all downs. Pollard's recent fumbling has been crappy, but he has been explosive and likely the most consistent skill player through 5 games.  If 2025 is all about Cam's development, then Pollard might need to stay to enable that.

 Jax new DC is running a zone scheme where eyes are on the QB and they play very little press now.
