Would it be practical to just (mostly) draft o-line this upcoming year

Wherever he goes, he's going to have to prove himself again, and I don't think a team will want him bad enough to give up a good draft pick for him.

The moment he is traded, the team that gets him owes him zero dollars in guaranteed money. His contract will not be that big anymore. And you completely ignored what I said about the reason why a team would trade for him. They would do it so that they could guarantee that they have his rights. If he hits free agency lets say 4 teams show any interest; each team only has a .25 chance at landing him as opposed to the 100% they would have at landing him if they trade a late round pick for him. His potential to take over games is something teams salivate over (look to the bears game), and there has to be multiple teams out there that are willing to roll the dice on him. My point cant be invalid considering that he is not cut yet, so at least Shanny agrees with me.
