    I don't really buy the distraction thing. If they do trade him it would be because of the cap.

    I see it the opposite. They only save $12 million per year on the cap for trading him, which isn't a big cap hit for a top 5 (at worst) corner. I don't buy it as a cap issue. Especially not when they basically have no returning corners besides Sherman who are worth a damn with Shead hurt.

    If they move him it's because they're tired of him (and they love the CB's in this draft).
    I see drafting a young corner as a cap move.
    They pick up another high pick in a defensive draft, take two corners and get back $27+ million in cap space over the next 2 seasons.
    And their OC and OL would still be dogshit.

    I like the scenario, it would be amazing if another team was FS enough to take him. He probably only has 2 or 3 years of above average play left, they'd have to give up a 2nd or 3rd rounder for him, and his attitude is atrocious.

    Clayton

    Apparently it's $11.4 million this year and $11 million next year. Clayton must have sighted the total cap hit, but the prorated signing bonus hits the Hawks cap regardless, all they can get out from under with a trade are his 2017-2018 salaries.

    Belichick will get him for a 7th round pick.

    I hope he gets traded. It sounds like a recipe for disaster if they keep him after everything being so public.

    The Seahawks have been a little too loyal to their core players. Someone needs to go.

    He's not a top 5 corner anymore.

    My bad. Top 3.

    At worst.
