I don't know... I don't think this is true. He'll go anywhere that'll give him his number. The team that trades for him would presumably want to sign him long-term, and he'll cooperate to get that done asap. Players hate playing on a tag. That's all I know. NFL careers are too short to play hardball. They much prefer long-term security.
