The fact is that Tobin said the exact same thing as any other NFL GM would have said.  Unless a player is in the last year of his contract rebuiulding teams don't trade away guys who are still productive.

There is really only one player they could have possibly gotten any value for last year and that was Dalton, but we have no idea if any team was even interested.

If Sanu can fetch a 2nd round pick, they likely turned down a first round pick for Green.

As for Dalton, they didn't even try.
