im one of the trade XR posters and i dont think nececarily this year. but next year when we need to start choosing who we’re going to keep and whos got to go doesnt it make sense to deal older players worth maximum value?
id say griffen should be on that list as well
while I dont like the idea, i have floated in that past as well as a way to keep others under the cap. We cant pay everybody and the guys that are still in their prime, but are nearing the later stages of it and are carrying large cap numbers should be the ones to see the chopping block before the younger, more affordable guys. yes X is the best right now, but how long will he be the best and at what price tag?
maybe the dead cap money wont make it make sense, but these are the contracts that would give us the most cap relief without as much drop off as you are keeping an up and coming player, hopefully one that is on a cheaper contract. fans wont like it, but by selling these guys towards the end of their peak the return on investment is much better than waiting until they are just a name and you get nothing.
I am not saying Rhodes is ready to fall off in terms of production, but remember it often happens fast and we all cringed when the team opted to pay out past high dollar guys like Allen and AD instead of moving them while they still had a bit of worth.
and CB seems to be an area of depth currently where we could maybe afford to take a talent loss.
