This offer was known ages ago. We said to countries that we indeed to keep the existing trade deals if they would agree but we have no idea if those countries would accept those terms. Remember they agreed trade deals with the EU and each side made concessions that the EU in mind.
It would be great if we could just inherit existing trade deals but there are a number of reasons to be skeptical. If Canada for example made concessions based on the fact they could sell Maple Syrup to 500 million possible customers they might not make the same concessions to a population of 65 possible customers. Also there isn't a thing called a rolled over trade deal. These would have to be new deals based on current agreements and reapproved by their respective parliaments.
This article doesn't say these deals have been agreed, in fact they specifically say they haven't, but that this guy is claiming some people (who?) from same nations (which ones?) have expressed an interest. The Sun is making out this is a done deal as if all the barriers to such a process didn't exist and could be decided by some people some guy spoke too.

There are no senior people in the Brexit camp that think this is a good idea. He wants to stir demons up and throw himself into the middle of it all.
