I think FloridaMan has a point in that you at least dangle an offer out there to the Falcons for Matthews.
Do I think they'll do it? No, I think they'll trade Kyle Pitts, trade or cut Grady Jarrett, cut David Onyemata, extend and restructure Kaleb Gary, and try desperately to trade Cousins. Those are the moves that hurt you less than taking protection away from a young QB.
Terron Armstead might also be a trade option because the Dolphins have tight cap issues. They can restructure Tua to get them to +18 million and Chubb can get them to +31.75m so that doesn't mean they would. Armstead doesn't give them a ton more space in a trade, only 4.2 million, but he is a commodity at this point they could stand to lose with Paul, who they drafted in round 2 last year, on board.
