Yeah, I know but that's what my entire thing was about and what Textcritic was agreeing with. The Jets should've addressed the situation a minimum a year ago. Good point about the five team trade list though, totally forgot about that. Yeah, move him next summer.

Just using Philly as an example, it's not a fixation. The entire idea of moving him next summer is to have as many possible trade partners available as possible.
