How can Lucas decline a trade?!?!

First off im not too thrilled about trading Lucas, but if thats what they want to do than fine. But how can he decline to go where they are sending him. How is it possible that we could have had a trade and gotten something for him, and now we will just cut him for nothing because he wouldnt accept? I didnt know this was baseball?

It's called a no trade clause or the simple fact he told the teams that he wouldn't play in Detroit and would hold out. Either one of those works. Player's have a lot more control in where they go then most people think. All they have to say is I won't play there and the other team will balk and stop talking.

"I didnt know this was baseball? "

Well...as a Leafs fan...I know much too well about the "Not Trade Clause" or the "NTC"....f'n Sundin...(Kubina, Kaberle, etc)

But is it clear that he had a NTC? I dunno, didn't Peppers make "The List" because he has the "right" to negate any trade...simply by not signing...?

I say, if the teams wants to trade a player, a player shouldn't be able to get around it. It's part of the business, and they'll be making millions in Detroit or Charlotte...

Well the funny thing is if you go to the detroit lions forum [Link]- http://www.prosportsdaily.com/forums/showthread.php?t=333830 : Most of their fans actually wanted Ken Lucas and were sad they did not get him. That cracks me off LMAO!!!

What do you find humorous? Ken is a very good veteran corner, I'm sure they'd be thrilled to have him as would many teams.

    • I don't really care as much about athleticism and arm strength.  While Murray might be better in that regard, I think Bryce has enough of both to do well in the NFL. The main reason this trade reference is silly is the money and the fact that Murray has been around a long while and hasn't proven that he can perform consistently when the game is on the line.  Bryce has shown that he can play well in the clutch (in the few opportunities he has had).  
    • If Bryce can continue the level of play he showed after the benching, then there's a good shot we at least compete to win the division. Tampa is a solid team but even last year in our week division they went 10-7 and will be on their 4th OC in as many years. The Saints are a mess and are in a mist of a half rebuild half still trying to compete mode and will probably be starting a rookie QB. The Falcons are a wild card as they have a really good offense but are we really crowning Michael Penix as a franchise QB after just 3 games?  The only thing I want out of this season is for Bryce to come out and without a shadow of a doubt prove he's our franchise QB. If that happens then most of the fanbase would be happy and I believe we'd be in a good place record wise at the end of the season. Maybe falling just short of winning the division with a chance to sneak in as a wild card team.
