The NFL offseason is a time for wild speculation, wishful thinking, and dreaming up blockbuster trades. This week, Nate Tice, Charles McDonald and Matt Harmon pitched a move they'd like to see before training camps get under way on the latest episode of Football 301.

Matt Harmon: Trey Hendrickson to the Chargers

Harmon led off with wanting to see Cincinnati Bengals pass rusher Trey Hendrickson land with the Los Angeles Chargers. 

As Harmon noted, the Chargers have a gaping hole at edge rusher after losing Joey Bosa, and didn't address pass rusher beyond re-signing Khalil Mack this offseason. He also doesn't think the Bengals will end up paying Hendrickson.

"Last time Hendrickson talked publicly, it sounded like (he and the Bengals had) reached kind of like a point of no return," Harmon said. "Unless they're just going to slide the big fat check across the table, which always will mend fences. But I don't know. I'm skeptical that that happens."

While trading Hendrickson in conference might be unlikely, Tice and McDonald agree on the fit. Mack is a tough run defender, and Hendrickson would be the speedy outside threat. And as McDonald pointed out, the Chargers are exactly the sort of contender who can afford to pay for instant impact.

Charles McDonald: Kirk Cousins to the Steelers

McDonald, noted Atlanta Falcons fan, wasn’t shy about his personal agenda: send Kirk Cousins to the Pittsburgh Steelers. 

"I still do think Aaron Rodgers ends up as a quarterback of the Steelers," McDonald said, "but it's June 4 that he hasn't signed yet. You know, every day that he doesn't sign makes it more likely that won't be the quarterback come training camp. Which I think would be a disaster for Pittsburgh, because how long are you gonna do this Mason Rudolph thing? Like, they obviously really like him over there in the building, but come on now. We've seen him play enough to know that that's not going to be the fix."

McDonald argued that Cousins represents a much more realistic, stabilizing option, and the lingering tension between Cousins and the Falcons means it's time for them to part ways.

Tice and Harmon agree, with Tice liking the fit in Pittsburgh more under offensive coordinator Arthur Smith.

"We can all envision what Arthur Smith wants to do with this personnel," Tice said. "So it's like kind of the quarterback becomes secondary to what they want to do anyway. So who's the best secondary quarterback? ... Kirk Cousins. Like, he, he's the best kind of like auxiliary guy to just operate."

Nate Tice: Jalen Ramsey to the Cowboys

For his pick, Nate Tice proposed a move that would finally land Jalen Ramsey in Dallas, completing a circle that arguably should’ve happened back in the 2016 NFL Draft, when the Cowboys selected Ezekiel Elliott fourth overall instead of Ramsey, who went one pick later to the Jacksonville Jaguars. 

Dallas, flush with cap space and questions in the secondary, could benefit from the 30-year-old Ramsey’s versatility. 

"I think he ages well because I think he can play corner, he could play the slot, and I think he'll transition to safety as his career goes along," Tice said. "I think he's on that Charles Woodson arc career arc."

Harmon liked the fit as well, echoing one of Tice's points about the Cowboys already having ace pass rusher Micah Parsons in the fold.

"It's really the only area that's concerning about their defense, is that secondary," Harmon said, "because as long as Micah Parsons is there, they're going to be an above average defense at the worst."
