The reality is trading for 32 year old lineman who will demand a relatively high pick and count for 11.5 million in cap for the next couple years is not a good move. There is a reason big time trades are rare in season, it is tough to change teams mid year and often times it doesn't result in great success year one, which is the knee jerk reaction you did it in the first palce.
No no no no. It's always about the Mikey way.
You could make the deal contingent on Stanley agreeing to a restructured contract and bring that number down to 9M. There are things that can be done. And remember that Whit is nearing the end and his salary will be going away.
Simply put though, we won't even try. Why? Because it doesn't fit the Mikey way.
