Lol, the fact that a team is forced to survey options for him is a pretty good example of how his options can effect a team

Except the team is NOT forced to survey options for him.

I actually heard the argument posited that the Jags are blowing his trade request up to generate more interest for him - so they get picks, and don't have to give him the huge payday he will demand (when his contract expires, that is...)

The front office is a lot smarter than many here think.  We'll probably know next year what the general plan was, and I'm really interested in seeing how this all plays out.  As I said in an earlier thread, this could wind up being a huge long-term break for the Jags.
