My take is dealing for AJ is almost the same as taking a guy in the draft. You really don't know how it's gonna work. You have some limited tape on AJ to go off of and that's more than any potential first rounder. Some teams that might be enough to want to make a deal for him, others may lean towards just going for a rookie. I would say that having his rights for an extra year makes a deal for him more attractive. This years draft class is pretty bad, but next years will be a lot better. The time to deal AJ would be now. I don't buy the whole "Were not actively shopping AJ", yeah they may not be calling teams to make deals, but it's no big secret that we've made him available.
