............... it's all about the man's contract. In the NFL today, you almost never get a player of Ricky's calibur at that kind of price. The only time you ever see that is either when a rookie who's broken out, but still playing under a rookie contract or when a veteran gets cut in a cap move late in the offseason. That's it. With the stunt Ricky pulled, he has almost no bargaining chips and has appeared to accept his fate with it.
A team like Denver is salivating over the idea of obtaining a guy like Ricky. They're currently around 30 million over the cap with many personnel decisions to make. Having been to the AFC Championship game this year, they're not about to only blow up the team and go thru mediocrity for a few years. Instead, as you've seen with the T.O. flirtation, they're trying to aquire players who'd allow them to compete for a title even after they make some of those difficult personnel moves to get under the cap. Both players, Owens and Ricky, will be two of the cheapest gamebreakers you will ever see step onto a football field next season.
For a team willing to roll the dice and take chances on a player like Ricky, a late 1st rounder IS the price. That's my opinion. You will never get a back like that anywhere for the veteran's minimum. His contract is indeed the over-riding factor to his past transgressions. We simply would not benefit from trading him, in any way shape or form, unless we recieve an impact draft pick.
