Finlay saying Skins will not be doing that. JP Says trade more likely than not coming

If I were the Skins Id offer him 2M a year. When his agent gets all red faced and huffy ... Id tell him me asking for 2M is just as ridiculous as you asking for 20M. This isnt going to be a "meet in the middle" game where you start unreasonably high at 20, I start at 12 and we "meet" at 16.

Problem - any trade value will be greatly diminished bc the new team will have to sign TW to a LTD and that doesnt sound appetizing. Why would you trade a 2R for the honor of having to make a 31-32 year old the highest paid LT?

Solution - give him permission to seek a trade, have his agent get the best deals he can. If the skins dont at least get a 3rd ... let him sit a year and collect the hopeful 3R comp pick.
