Whether it's us or any other team, thing is, they get nothing if he's released because both teams coudln't make a deal. Thus we have the upper hand. Remember, we have one of the best OL coaches. If he thinks Shelton is that good, we would've made a deal by now.
In 2003 the bills had Gary, Morris, Burns, Henry. During camp, the lions' rb went down and they gave us a 4th for Gary. The fins were looking for rb's that they gave up a 3rd for Gordon. History shows that there will be teams looking for rb's up to the last minute.This is why we are not in a hurry to get rid of Henry. It's almost a sure thing that a team will need a rb during camp for one reason or another.
