as far the skins looking bad in this, they probably do to a lot of people. but theres no way the skins did this move just to save 300k. they did it to alert the NFLPA to the loophole that can be used to the leagues advantage in the next CBA. Sure it sucks for the palyers that they had to be used in such a way, but if it ensure that the greedy players union doesnt get as much in the next CBA, i'm all for it.

Yeah, I don't think there was any sort of motive like that. I don't think they were trying to send a message or warning. I think they both saw the opportunity to make a trade that was beneficial to both parties and so they made the trade
