True, Cam is injury-prone and his salary is going to make any trade cost prohibitive.  He'll get cut to make cap room.

His salary is not guaranteed and I'd presume it would be re-worked in a hypothetical trade.  More than half the teams in the league show Tackle as a need.  I think the question is, are his services for 1 year here worth more than 5th-7th round pick.  I'd say yes.  A 4th or pick swap into the 3rd is where I'd consider it, but he has PED history so not sure how other teams view that in a trade scenario.  Probably not a 4th or pick swap into the 3rd would be my guess.  He also may contribute to a compensatory pick if allowed to walk next year.

Looking at the roster, I just don't see a lot of good candidates for restructures personally, so if we sign another big splash free agent Cam would be a juicy option to consider trading or cutting to create the needed space.  If you're going to cut him anyway, I guess you'd take a 6th or 7th if that's all you could muster.

We may sign a few more guys, but I think we're done with the $50M contracts this offseason so probably won't be getting rid of him.  They can create smaller chunks of space with Allen's eventual new deal and a few other potential cuts (Zay, RRH, Wingard, etc) if need be.
