I wouldn't be surprised if they are "listening" to offers because players are simply asking for trades at this point and their agents are being told to go find something that makes sense and we might do it.

woof... thats going to hurt in dead cap. However, we'd probably get a 3rd for Shaq. Just bc he isnt liked in this thread, doesnt mean he isnt worth it to the team that is trading for him. They would be getting a top 10-15 LB for 12 million for 1.5 seasons. 

 

Eagles need LB help... so I could see them calling. They have the draft capital to send out.

You thinking a 3rd?  4rth or 5th is my guess.  Probably 5th

Shaq's base next year is ~$12.2m so it's more like $13m for 1.5 seasons. Dead cap doesn't matter honestly, might as well take the poison in this lost year because he's likely to be cut in the offseason if he doesn't take a drastic pay cut anyway.

I think it might be more that other teams think they're in "fire sale" mode.

They're not, but they'll always listen to see if "an offer they can't refuse" comes down the like.

Shaq isn't bad. Just overpaid. He's a mid tier linebacker but with a top 10 salary. I don't get the vitriol over his contract though. It really hasn't been an issue and I think fans worry about cap hits more than they need to. The linebacker group as a whole isn't way out of line cap wise, and that's how many teams manage capspace, by position group.

I wouldn't trade him for less than a 3rd personally. Either way, he's gone after this year anyways most likely.

      We're at DefCanales Level 1

      lol It's 2 games in with a broken QB it's too early to tell. I hope Canales works out but this is still funny.

      Bill Barnwell defends Bryce's benching with some horrific stats

      By NorthTryon · Posted

      This backlash has truly been sad and was part of the reason I believe Bryce was drafted in the first place. He was small and looked like a kid and everybody just loved that he was also good at football. Once I heard CJ Stroud talking on his podcast tour this summer, I was like well that is the reason he isn't here. I remember the hatred for Cam that basically arose out of him being a massive, confident, black man. Every time a new broadcast crew met him during warmups the telecast was just about how larger than life he was. I even had a friend who is close to Cam's size talk about him sucking the air out of every room goes into like being big, loud, and confident is a bad thing. And many here along with the media never showed any sympathy, empathy, or a second thought to the shite Cam had to put up with while here. Till this day it is either about the stupid fumble that didn't matter that he didn't jump on, or that he only had like one good year.  So to see this crazy backlash from the sports and social media regarding Canales benching a small, weak, entitled, non verbal QB who is playing terrible, struggling to recognize defenses, missing open WRs, and leaving clean pockets is mind blowing! Only Chase Daniels watched the film before talking this week. Everyone else used it as an opportunity pine for Bryce and crap on organization. Again, I hope someone is dumb enough to give us Josh Rosen compensation for him.
