There's already some opinion pieces that Green Bay should go get him.

Demanding a trade when you haven't done shit is always an interesting move.

He's been disappointing. I didn't see that coming. I thought he'd be a good pro.

Speed speed speed!
He's not even as good as Tavon Austin. Cut from the same cloth, minus the part-time RB stuff, I guess. I always thought he was too skinny and could not put on weight and keep his speed. -
He's not any smaller than DeShawn Jackson and had that kind of ceiling IMO. Could never stay healthy long enough though, and I don't think more weight would have fixed that.BleachedAnusDawg said:Speed speed speed!

I've still never seen a receiver absolutely terrify opposing DB's like senior Ross did.

Seahawks don't need him, but Russell Wilson could help bring out the best in John Ross XVII

Nobody is trading for him. He’s getting paid a few million. Someone would sign him for the minimum or a tiny bit more, but they aren’t giving up a pick and paying him what’s left of his contract.

Which goes to show, again, that some guys just have that big play ability and some don't. Jackson has it in a big way, and always has.dnc said:

His base salary is only 2.8 million this year and they've already played six games, meaning anyone trading for him would be on the hook for like $1.7 million max. He's a FA after the season.RoadDawg55 said:Nobody is trading for him. He’s getting paid a few million.

Signing bonus stays with the trading team so whoever is acquiring him wouldn't be responsible for any of that.
I can't imagine a team giving up much for someone who hasn't played but the salary isn't prohibitive.

It seems like Ross had one all time great year at UW and the rest is unrealized potential. Am I wrong?
I love the guy for that year though.
