In fact, you usually ask for something that no one plans to give you, so that in the case a desperate team bites, you win the trade easily.

Horton played really, really poorly against the pass down the stretch. He's almost as bad as Doughty against it. Unlike Doughty, he's a poor pass rusher. Where Horton makes up for that all is his unbelievable closing speed against the run. Teams really started taking advantage of him in the play action game, because he bites so badly on run fakes, and his guy tends to be wide open.

I mean, let's face it, a second rounder for one of the last picks in the draft last year is a HUGE steal. You don't even think about it. Is anyone that desperate to get a safety who cannot cover? Highly doubt it. Horton will be back, and likely in the starting lineup next year, but he's got a lot to work on in the off-season.

Really good post. I think Moss is the most likely to be traded - and hopefully for a 2nd and 5th or 3rd and 4th or something like that. I would say if we got a 3rd/4th for Golston it would be a good deal too. Other than that, I don't see us realistically trading anyone... even though I think moving Horton or Campbell for a 2nd or higher would be a no-brainer.
