Talk is cheap as they say but I will play along. Bosa for Crosby and a first.
How about Bosa for the historically great soon-to-be Hall of Fame pass rusher Chandler Jones?
We can throw in the best rusher in the league, if the deal needs to be sweetened. You can never have enough great expensive running backs.

Jones is great. Getting a bit up there in years though. That would be a hell of running back room. Maybe a smidge on the expensive side in a cap world. Haha
I really like Crosby. I think he might win DPOY this year.

Mad Maxx is going to be a monster this year. He's basically the only thing Raider Nation is looking forward to.

What about Adams?
reply
You're in a great position to answer how entertaining great receiving talent is when you have the most injury prone QB in the league who can't throw a deep ball to save his life.

Why you gotta unearth this darkness in my life?

Always a candidate for DPOY but that title will probably go to TJ Watt. If he remains healthy. That dude is a god damn monster.
reply
TJ is great. Need @mallardshead to weigh in with DPOY odds.

I suppose Maxx Crosby has increased his tackles and sacks every year so I'm with @Undiciplined here. If he increases again, there’s no reason he shouldn’t finish top-3 in voting. Look, the dude had 89 total tackles last year which was the second most of all NFL defensive linemen (not linebackers), but here’s the thing, after the top two, there’s a massive drop in tackles to the next closest at 74. Then another big drop to 65. Oh yeah, and Crosby had 22 tackles for a loss—MOST IN THE NFL. Max had 12.5 sacks, one shy of Micah Parsons. And Thing is Crosby is +2000, so DPOY makes it worth a shot. Bosa had 18.5 sacks and 51 tackles, 19 for a loss. Injuries are why you bet lightly on these type of awards, but barring that, I'll go Maxx. Fans are already starting to call for blood based on the fact he didn't finish top-5 in DPOY voting last year 🤣. This is the year that bullshit stops.

Excellent rundown.

Maxx also has the most pressures in the league over the past two seasons. If the rest of our defense wasn't abysmal, he might be pushing for 20 sacks a year.
On the injury note, Crosby had a broken hand when he was drafted and not only didn't miss any time, he had a dominant rookie season. This guy's an absolute beast.
