In this league you have to replace talent with talent. You don't trade Moore for a low pick in case we get a chance to compete for a playoff spot. What if RT gets hurt and has to miss a game, without Moore you are giving the game a way. Trading Moore for a low pick sends the message to your team that we are rebuilding this year and not trying to make a run.
I believe we once traded a 2nd rd pick for AJ Feeley, who had never done anything close to what Moore has done. Moore is the perfect backup, no way I would give him up for less than a 3rd and a player. Moore is a great influence on RT and is well respected within the locker room. He is a Philbin type of player and you can rest assured he isn't going ANY where this season. Not unless they make an offer you can't refuse.
While I'd agree that keeping Moore gives the team a safety net. If we can get a good value deal from them, then I'd be happy to see us trade Moore for a 3rd or 4th round type pick. He's walking at the end of the season anyway, so might as well get something for him; and besides, we've got Devlin, and if we really need an experienced QB to back him up, there are a number of free agents who could come in on cheaper deals to do that.
