Thought about Cushing. While he does have a lot of options and roster bonuses tied to his contract, if you accepted them all (which is why I assume you'd trade for him) he'd still have $34.6m over the next four years, not counting the remainder of his 2015 salary for a guy in his age 28 season with an extensive injury history that's caused him to miss a lot of games.

In his first three years (44 games) he had 323 tackles, 9.5 sacks, 19 Pdef, 6 INT, and 5 FF.
The three and a half years since then..  (33 games) 206 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 8 Pdef, 2 INT, 3 FF.
Since the start of 2014 (21 games) 128 tackles, 1 sack, 3 Pdef, 0 INT, 0 FF.

I really think the injuries has made him a shell of the player he was. He's been mostly healthy the last year and a half, but doesn't have any of his playmaking ability left.
