I actually like that trade idea... particularly if it turned into Blackmon at WR. I'm concerned age is starting to sneak up on AJ with the tick up in injuries and having a stud #2 to groom behind AJ seems wise to me. Don't think he'll be there at 6 though and I'd hate to give up the 27 too. We would need to replace Mario with another Brooks Reed/Conner Barwin type OLB and that might be the place to do it...also could use another OL.
I was surprised how well the defense functioned w/o Mario and we could use that crazy money elsewhere. I do like him more than most but there is some good sense in leveraging his trade value now.
