Which Player Would You Trade?

Only guy of the three with any real value is Brown.
Yes another homer thread overating wack talent. Keep Brown and you can trade the other 2 for 5th rounders
For now I would keep Brown. AA and Ward to me are expendable. IF we could get value for either, then I would trade them. Ward to me I would like to see brought back at a reduced rate on a 2-3 year deal, but if he won't take a pay cut, then I would just cut him and use that 8 million else where. No point in paying Ward 8 million, even if we have the money, when Colbert might be the better option in this scheme. AA to me could be good depth for us, but if we got a good offer, I would be willing to move him.

As for AA, he is my surprise player of the yr. Comeback potential player of the yr for the 9ers. I realize I could be 180 degrees wrong here. Maybe I just want that first rd pick to be worth it, but I just have a feeling he comes back healthy and with our awesome DL (it really is the strength of the team at present)....I could see AA having a great yr. But I have a feeling that will be known sometime during OTAs, TC , or PS. We know before the season starts. IF, IF he could get over the hump, man would that DL be something. But if you are asking would I rather have him or Vita...well, Vita of course.

Nice story but really? I think if someone offers a trade down swap with aa we consider it if theres a real player waiting on the other end. But no myles garret in this draft so unlikely.

Nobody trade for ward since we will cut him. No need to give up anything for the fracture king.

Could see this happening but his play will not be exciting so many will still bash him. He's a power DL who pushes the LOS and the pocket but does not have the speed to track down a R Wilson or another mobile QB. Last year he helped close the running gaps and the D shot up in that area (against the run). That's my expectation for him this year--dominate the LOS to shut off the run, push the pocket so the speedier pass rushers can flush and/or trap the QB.
I would not trade Brown at all. I don't even understand that one. While I am not high on AA, I think he has good value as a backup. Let him backup Buckner. Jimmy Ward is the one that would have to go. High salary, we already have a slot corner. I'd play him at FS, but eh. Problem is, what could you possibly get for Jimmy Ward?
