5 months? If Veach/Andy are serious about acquiring Deandre it has nothing to do with the next 5 months. At minimum we're talking about the next two years, and probably he'd be extended as long as he stayed healthy in 2023, so more like 3+ years.
No one trades multiple picks and eats that much salary for 5 months. Well, except for idiots, and sure there are those GMs/FOs, but those are the exception.
DHop would be the bridge as Travis inevitably slows down over the next couple years, and as the top-tier vet in the building that leavens all the youth we have for the next few years.
He also virtually guarantees SB appearances for the next two to three years.
That's why you trade for DHop. Not for a piddling 5 months.
