The expensive contract is one big reason why a trade won't involve a high pick. Another is his age. While he can still be effective, teams don't give up top picks for players over 30 on a big contract. Especially when they've been missing some games. Look what we gave up for Cordy Glenn.

As someone posted, maybe you get a pick from a Gio trade. Gio and Boling off even Cincy's mysterious books makes Trent's deal work. Something like a 3rd for Williams, Gio for a conditional 4th or 5th. I got Cam Fleming as a cheaper option via trade.
All these years later and we're still looking for a quality FA RT.
The pressure is really building up.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
