2010 Free Agents

[Dirtbag59]

I just want to say that in the rare case that we do trade Cooley I want it to be a 3 team trade with the Chargers. We get Marcus McNeil, team X gets Chris Cooley, San Diego get's a 2nd round pick from Team X.

I like this idea. Such would leave us free to take a qb at #4. McNeil solves our LT problem. Beautiful.

Recall that, if there is no salary cap next season, players will not become unrestricted free agents until they are 6th year veterans. So, for example, if San Diego does not sign McNeil to a long-term deal, they can tender him at the 1st round level, and anyone who signed him would have to fork over their 1st round pick to the Chargers.

That is true about free agents. But the scenario above was for a 3-way trade. They can tag McNeil at one level and then trade him at another if they wish.

I highly doubt that San Diego would be willing to trade McNeil for anything less than a 2nd rounder and I wouldn't want to give up a pick at the top of the 2nd round for McNeil.

The scenario listed above was a three-way trade that works out for us as trading Cooley for McNeil. In the scenario we lose no draft picks.
