Hmmmmm it could be a smart preemptive move. Not sure how Orakpo feels about playing out of position so to speak, but per his agent and contract talks the following year they'd be pretty smart to "market" Rak as a premier 4-3 DE pass rusher who's been poorly utilized. And then we see a 1st round pick just walk away without getting anything, let alone pretty underwhelming production during his time here.

A "forced" mid-season trade, especially if a 4-3 defense is desperate, might be the smartest move even if all we can get is say a 3rd round pick.

Trade Rak for a 3rd round pick? Madness.

I agree. But it's better than nothing, which is what we'll likely end up with if Rak's agent is smart and/or the FO doesn't want to shell out a massive contract after this year.

Hasn't SS indicated at times the FO isn't too high on Rak and/or he (SS) won't be surprised if Rak doesn't get re-signed?
