could you get a 5th for him?

[L-TownCat]

Yep, clean house.  Time for some fresh blood.

[Towelboy]

Overpaid, underperforming LB. The only team dumb enough to take him is the Commanders. 

[CRA]

I wouldn't be surprised if they are "listening" to offers because players are simply asking for trades at this point and their agents are being told to go find something that makes sense and we might do it.

woof... thats going to hurt in dead cap. However, we'd probably get a 3rd for Shaq. Just bc he isnt liked in this thread, doesnt mean he isnt worth it to the team that is trading for him. They would be getting a top 10-15 LB for 12 million for 1.5 seasons. 

 

Eagles need LB help... so I could see them calling. They have the draft capital to send out.

Shaq to Washington for their 2023 4th. Let's make it happen.

They should have traded his ass with Robbie

You thinking a 3rd?  4rth or 5th is my guess.  Probably 5th

Shaq's base next year is ~$12.2m so it's more like $13m for 1.5 seasons. Dead cap doesn't matter honestly, might as well take the poison in this lost year because he's likely to be cut in the offseason if he doesn't take a drastic pay cut anyway.

I think it might be more that other teams think they're in "fire sale" mode.

They're not, but they'll always listen to see if "an offer they can't refuse" comes down the like.

Shaq isn't bad. Just overpaid. He's a mid tier linebacker but with a top 10 salary. I don't get the vitriol over his contract though. It really hasn't been an issue and I think fans worry about cap hits more than they need to. The linebacker group as a whole isn't way out of line cap wise, and that's how many teams manage capspace, by position group.

I wouldn't trade him for less than a 3rd personally. Either way, he's gone after this year anyways most likely.
