I only see 3 conceivable landing spots Tre might have sold Gio to, the last being the only realistic option:
NJD - moo since Graves became available
WAS - they ended up protecting bargain contract Trevor Van Riemsdyk over Schultz and Dillon. I doubt they had an appetite to take on significant risk for a modest asset gain.
NAS - Gio would be their 6th D protected in place of 24 yo undrafted forward Tanner Jeanot
The only play I could see is NAS paying a 3rd+prospect for Gio pre ED. Then hoping to flip him for a 2nd+prospect at full salary (or 1st+ if retained) post ED. Essentially a short-term investment play...high risk-low reward for a team like NAS, hence the low acquisition cost.
Gio + Kylington (etc) out
3rd + prospect in
vs.
Gio out
The margins are thin on any deal to recoup value.
