For a team without the numbers game at DT Marks is a really nice rotational piece to the puzzle. 

If Coughlin and Dave put him up for trade, its over. I think that sends a wrong message if you cant trade him and bring him back. Could lead to grumblings in the locker rom from a disgruntled employee. I think the message was sent loud and clear and Marks doesnt have a future going forward with this team. 

 

Im not sure what hes due this season but knowing Dave Caldwell and how excellent he and his staff have been at negotiating deals, I dont think if we cut him it would hurt us in any way cap wise. If they cant trade Marks, I think they will release him. 

 

Personally, I would of loved to of had him stay, I think when healthy, hes a good player and has many years left. I think Mark's bad knees is a big factor, hes a big man and never a good sign when you have multiple knee issues, they typically reoccur. I think also hes the face of the Gus Bradley era per say and Coughlin really just wants to clean house.
