He's certainly not worth his salary right now and it's only going to get worse. This is a contract you'll be begging to get rid of after year 2.
The idea that we could give up assets for him is terrifying.

Yeah, if you look at his play over the last two years he is much closer to Hanifin (with less offence) than he is to Gio. That's a serious problem since his salary is double.
Who knows, maybe a different situation allows him to turn it around and blossom, but that's a huge gamble to take on a guy that is signed for over 8 million for the next seven seasons. With our depth on the left side, this rumour doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
Only way I would consider a deal for him is if they are including some serious value elsewhere and retaining salary.
