Don't see the point.

We are well into a process of rebuilding - not blowing the whole thing up.

I made my case yesterday. I don't think he's worth whatever the market is going to dictate towards him going into next year. His production simply isn't there. He's yet to consistently live up to his draft status. 

10.5 sacks over the last 24 games after he posted 10.5 sacks during his rookie year riding the backs of Ngakoue and Campbell to get there. Again, he was drafted to be THE MAN and he's just been playing like another guy out there. 

Throw that [BLEEP] out the window too with him being "top ten in pass rush". I don't care. It's not impacting the game, it's not changing the W/L column over the last three years he's been here. He's not making enough impact. 

If he's going to ultimately cost you roughly 12% - 15% of your cap hit year over year when you could just refill positions of need elsewhere offensively to give you those extra 7 - 10 PPG to be on the winning side of things? I say do it. 

What if the trade encompasses a 2nd and 3rd RD pick or a 2nd RD pick + player of solid value at a position of need offensively? Would you be tempted then?
