Makes sense. Trying to get something for nothing.

Well they need about five million to sign Devin White. Wonder how long they will drag it out. No one will want to trade for him at that price tag.

They would take a 7th round draft pick. Any thing other than a 0

Interestingly enough, that is how we got Raheem Brock. He was a 7th rd pick of The Iggles and they couldn't afford to sign him. So Polian swooped in and picked him up.

But it's not a matter of the pick, it's a matter of the new team not wanting to take on his horrible contract. They can just wait for him to be released and then sign him to a more reasonable deal. If his current contract was reasonable, the bucs would get some trade offers.

Agree. But lets say the Rams get nervous after losing a bunch of D linemen. They may jump if someone gets hurt between now and the start of camp. Bucs aren't losing by waiting.

They are close to not being able to sign the rest of their draft class. They have $1 million in cap space and haven't signed their first round pick yet and a couple others. They may need that cap relief from McCoy's contract.

No way to they give away reps to a 9 year veteran who is only going to get worse.

They are doing just that with Houston. He isn't getting any better at his age

So you only play him in passing downs. You limit his reps, and he's got a lot of knowledge about how to play. How to play with leverage, how to defeat a block.

Ballard knows him, and I'm guessing, trusts him to be a pro.
