Would be a good fit here, he has been solid while on the field with the Dolphins the last couple of years.

Is he better than our current tackles? Most likely. Guy's missed 25% of possible games the past 5 years (20/80) and only played all 16 once in his career though. Just sayin'.

Not being cut today anymore... now looking to be traded. Making roughly $10M per year which is right around top 10. I'd probably give a mid-round pick for him.

Apparently one team has made an offer.  Hmmm.  I doubt it's us.  Considering they're going to release him and there are multiple other options now I would certainly not give a mid-round pick.  Maybe a Jared Allen style deal-a 6th plus THEY bear the brunt of the salary-sure.

Dude has never finished a season much less playoffs.

Case of premature speculation here...

Can teams make offers at this point?

Officially, no.

But tampering doesn't happen, right?

Why not? He's under contract. He isn't a free agent whose contract is up.

If he was released he would not be under contract and could be signed.

This is how/when we signed Oher

Right, but I was quoting someone about making a trade offer for him being tampering. He's not a FA (have to wait until early March to talk) and isn't released. I'm thinking trade offers can be made at any point, but I was wondering if there was a trade date since the trade deadline for 2016 passed in season.

Got it. I think there was a 3 way miscommunication there. I assumed the original question was assuming that the release had been made. If so we could negotiate with him. If they were dismissing trade offers then we can still make trade offers now right?

[Mr. Scot]

Far as I know, trades can't be completed until free agency begins, but the NFL now allows a "legal tampering" window of about a week prior.

Remember a few years ago the Jimmy Graham trade hit on day one of free agency but it clearly had been negotiated ahead of time.

LOL I wouldn't accept a mid round pick to take on his salary. Was a great player who has faded every year recently and can't stay healthy. Not worth even half of that to me. Take a 1 year flyer for a couple million, sure, but wouldn't give up anything for him unless it came with a huge pay cut. And it seems the only real interest in a possible trade his been the Jaguars who would give Julius Thomas who they were going to cut anyways to reunite with Gase. I still bet he ends up getting cut.
