Over the period that Fisher is out, Does that put Fisher on the trade block once the season is over? Cam is younger and would no doubt cost significantly less to retain than Fisher. And potentially the money saved could help to keep the likes of Jones or give guys like Ramsey a contract IF Veach decides to make a trade. Just something to ponder because having a decent O-line on cheap contracts could be a God send for this team moving forward when you factor in Mahomes's impending contract extension. [Reply]

Not saying we should cut him. I'm saying IF Cam does well and the line functions fine without Fisher, then could we TRADE him in the offseason to teams in desperate need of decent linemen? That's what I'm asking. As it would not only take Fishers wages off the books which could go to Jones, but we could also get picks back. [Reply]

Sorry, misread that. Still, I just don't think it's likely that they'd want to move on from Fisher any time soon. He won't bring THAT much value on the trade market, and I think they like Cam as a utility player more than anything. [Reply]
Unless he brings a Tunsil type haul i couldnt think about it at all. Erving would have to take some big steps in the next few games to even make this a conversation. [Reply]
It would make far more sense to try and trade Cam after the season if he puts up a good show in Fishers absence. I mean, that still doesn't make a ton of sense but still way more than trading Fisher.
We have an MVP quarterback, LT and the O line in general is not where you try and save a few bucks. [Reply]
