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.

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?

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.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
