We didn't really try to trade him. Payton was in love with him. We could have traded him an offseason or 2 ago if we really wanted to, we would have been able to find a partner. OL is always been sought after, particularly LT. He was rated as the #71 player in the league going into 2021. We could have gotten some good draft picks for him. He is a great player when healthy, but he's particularly prone to injuries in the shoulder and pectoral region.
