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.
It is Staley first of all, if your going to want to trade for someone know his name. The guy has guaranteed money for years to come he isn't going to renegotiate his contract to go to a team that isn't a top contender. You keep going back to the Mikey way. The "new way" has built this team and gotten us to this point, bad coaching has eliminated us from the playoffs but not the roster. It really makes no sense to knock him for this, but it tends to be the crutch many resort to when they don't know where else to go.
The rumor is Browns and 49'ers both want 2nds and very few teams are even interested at that price, which means almost all other teams think it's a bad deal too.
