that was a no. of years ago though & since then the market for trades has really changed. Teams show a lot more value for draft picks than vets.
I think it's just a result of teams learning how to work w/in the cap & free agency as the system's gotten older.
Also, in the cap era there are really only 2 main reasons to trade a guy:
1) he's at the end of his deal & you don't plan to re-sign him
2) he's a problem
Of course you can always say you want picks to get younger, etc. but even then the cap hit has to make sense since trades escalate bonus $.
