We are already committed to a run dominating style of offense with our commitment to putting a great O-line together. Why defer to something different now. I"d like to trade his ass and see how much we can get for him. With 2 stud D-lineman and a shut down corner for next year would be sweet. Imagine how many games we will always be in when we can dominate the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, with or without Dez.
First off the trade deadline has passed. Secondly, I wouldn't be trading one of our best players and throwing away the year when we are in the middle of a playoff race even if it hadn't. But, I do agree that the dedication to the run and the Improved OL makes getting by without Dez a little easier if we end up not resigning him. But, I go back to my original comment. Jerry will sign Dez and there is no question IMO. I agree with most, that the guaranteed money is the biggest worry. Love the talent, but the signs are always there about the volcano right below the surface.
