I'm totally confused by this. The trade deadline has passed and TH7 is a free agent at the end of the season. There's no way he can be traded, right?

If he's not happy, he can simply walk at the end of the season.

Well .. he did sign a convoluted contract . No one is really sure about how it's supposed to work for next year, other than the Saints and Taysom. It's prolly a renegotiated deal, if we're guessing.

Not difficult at all. Everything after the end of this season is void. It was a tool that served two purposes. The extra years facilitate the Saints lowering the cap hit this year. Also NFL rules prohibit renegotiating contracts at a higher rate within a 12 month period. If TH7 had won the QB1 job, done a good job this year, then the Saints could negotiate for the future up to the $140 million cap that was applied to the void years. But no matter what they are void and TH7 can walk at the end of this season.

Yeah, I didn't realize his contract was up next year. I expect him to be gone if T-Money Sizzle is the starter this week.
