Exactly how do you trade a player that's not under contract? Unless Jimmy is tagged, he is a free agent as of March 11th. If he is tagged, the Saints still do not own his rights until he signs the tender.

A sign and trade works for restricted free agents because the team still holds the rights to the player. But not UFAs.

A sign and trade is what I meant. Sry for the confusion.

A sign and trade will undoubtedly include an enormous signing bonus cap hit, which will stay with us if we trade him.

It will cost us 3 times more to sign and trade him as it would to just sign and keep him.
