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.

You're not wrong.

Ross's 2016 year is basically the only full and productive year he has had in the last 7 or 8 seasons. 80 catches and over 1000 yards.

Ross has been injured and also stuck with a shitty organization ... best thing for him is to get out of there ASAP

If the 12’s were smart they’d take a low $$$ flier on him in the offseason as the things Ross does well merges well with what Russell does

Put him in the right spot and he can be productive

Dorsett is pretty much the same player and the Seahawks have Josh Gordon. They don’t need Ross. A bunch of teams could use him a lot more than the Seahawks.

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.
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.

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.

Most teams not named the Bengals would trade him and a 7th for a 6th rounder but the Bengals hate trading players even those that are about to walk because their contracts are up.

The Packers, Vikings (although why? TSIO), and Colts could give him a shot. They all need WR depth and it's not like adding Ross is gonna make them worse.
