What is Patrick Surtain Jr.'s Trade Value?

[Estro]

What would the Bills be willing to give up in trade compensation to acquire Patrick Surtain Jr.  Regarded as one of the best young CB's in the league he'd certainly be a huge upgrade after the Tre White injury. He also has 2 cheap years left on his deal.

 

He's due less than 2M for the rest of this year, a little over 3M next year and you still have the 5th year option to control his '25 season.

 

The Bills have the next 4 games (including todays) to get a good look at how Benford, Jackson, Elam and perhaps even Ingram will hold it down at outside CB........but what would you be willing to part with to drop in one of the best young CBs onto this roster?

 

I happen to think it would take a 1st + Elam at a minimum and likely a little more than that.  I love the idea, but at that price and given what we've heard about the strength of the '24 draft it's tough.

Given where we will likely be drafting, I’m guessing any conversation begins with our 1st.. as the bare minimum starting point.  
 

Id probably be open to a package involving our 1st and 3rd, given we have a comp 3rd this year.

 

Its tough though.. We may be fine at CB with Jackson, Benford and Elam.   And in terms of off-season needs, we’re staring at WR2, Safety and DT as premium pick needs.

I'm not in panic mode just yet. Trade deadline is 3 weeks away, so I let it play out a bit. Now if Benford is down for any period of time....

Would Surtains contract be the issue? Salary Cap stretched to fit him in??

No.. that’s why he’s so appealing. 
 

Elite player with this year and next on his rookie deal.  Then the fifth year option after next season. 

[GunnerBill]

No way the Broncos trade him. He is on his rookie deal and he is a top 10 corner. He is their best player, young and cheap.

Probably not, unless Denver decides they need to load up picks for a QB.  
 

Caleb Williams and Drake Maye look to be worthwhile QB’s to target this coming Draft.

They should land in the Williams/Maye conversation just in where they finish this year without having to move someone like Surtain.

Why do people always think that they can just trade for any player? Just because Denver is a bad team doesn't mean they are going to trade one of their best players, still on a rookie contract, away.  They still need to build a team to. It makes zero sense for them to trade him.

The only way I can see the Broncos letting him go is for a gross over compensation, which might let them in the QB sweepstakes. You don’t let good young players on a cheap deal go.

HuH?!?

Woops was thinking Raiders for some reason.  Same statement otherwise.  Edited.

Sean Payton redirecting draft resources in the way he wants may be what allows a deal like this to happen. Granted there is a roadblock with Paton being the one who drafted him. Either way a young safety on a rookie contract is not what will make them contenders.

He is elite for sure. 

[Bills!Win!]

I’m told he’s good, but I would not want to trade for a cornerback who’s defense let up 70 points

[H2o]

The Broncos are trying to win. They're not going to give up one of their best, young players.

Why on earth would Denver trade him? 
Even if they were wanting to tank the season he’s still probably their most important building block on the roster. 
I think fantasy football has rotted some brains maybe 

[SoonerBillsFan]

I am of the opinion that yes Beane needs to be making calls, but also waiting to see how we do with what we have up to the trade deadline.  I can see elam and a pick to get a guy who (more than apparently Elam does) fits Sean's system.
