The only way you can truly justify trading Shorts is if you know their is a 0% chance that they can resign him beyond this season. For me, the only acceptable trade otherwise is if you can somehow convince a team to give up a high quality, proven O-Line starter(not very likely), a 1st round draft pick(0% chance), or an O-Line player that may not be a top notch lineman, but ranks higher than one of our starting o-lineman plus a mid-to late round draft pick(again not likely.)
