So it looked like the options were trade him or he sits and you still have to keep his franchise tag worth of cap space open all year in case he comes back. 

That’s what I meant—they didn’t have the cap space to give him that kind of contract so were forced to trade him. Maybe if there were more suitors they could get two 1sts; maybe a 1st and 2nd is his value. I would rather get two 1sts for the best wr in the league the past few years. I think chase takes that crown as soon as next year.
