RT @lde857: @mortreport @Micah_J_D Next year's draft is not provided for in expired CBA. So can't trade next yr's picks w/o new CBA.

I was not aware of this. I put it in another thread as well but thought I would put in here and ask if this changes anyone's desire to trade back in this draft?

I think it will make it more difficult to do it personally because it would likely take too much of another team's current draft picks to make the move.

Doesn't mean it can't/won't happen but it does change the dynamic some when you are considering trading the pick.

There is a lot of conflicting info out there so I am not sure what is correct. Hopefully there will be some clarification at some point.

Panther81 has anyone replied to you on twitter??

Not yet. Might ask around pretty soon cuz this kind of a big deal if it's 100% fact.

it is a huge deal. I had thought that Gantt or someone else had previously said you could trade future picks. But I'm too lazy to search for that.

A Pittsburgh reporter had this to say, and appears to have checked with the GM of the Steelers (Kevin Colbert) about it:

--- YOU: In your blog post today you said you didn't think teams would be able to trade for future picks because there's no 2012 draft in the CBA. But teams have already traded away 2012 picks in past years (for example, Oakland traded their 4th round pick in 2012 to Washington for Jason Campbell). I never thought about it before your post this morning, but this seems weird. Why would the NFL let teams trade something that technically doesn't even exist? What's to keep the Steelers from trading some magical pixie dust for Darren McFadden if they could get Al Davis to agree to it?

ME: Ever try to get Al Davis to agree to anything? My thinking was right but the facts turned out to be wrong. I checked and they can trade future picks even though they do not know what the future will be. Kevin Colbert agreed with me that it is unknown what will happen and that it might be a crap shoot. Let’s say you trade a pick this year for a future sixth or seventh rounder and they reduce the draft to just five. You are fat out of luck is what you are if you “acquired” a sixth or seventh round pick.

I don't understand how you can't trade future picks. Teams have already traded picks in 2012. I think there is no guarantee you GET those picks, but I think you can conditionally trade them. Aka, if there is a 2012 draft, you would get our first rounder if we have one.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
