Obviously, we wouldnt move Big Al just to make that happen, but it would be an added bonus.

Is Al that big of a distraction to the team? They would have to despise him to go through with that because that is a lot of trouble to, most likely, downgrade at DT. It isn't a cost cutting move because the 4th pick is going to be making huge guaranteed money. To me, that would be a waste of our 4th pick because you have to commit that pick to get anywhere near the production that you are shipping out.

Granted, you will get some type of pick or two for the big guy but this is a lot of effort to take a step back.
