And now Galette is on the block?

whenever it comes out in the news that a team has someone on the trading block doesn't that usually mean they don't want these guys, but no one else is willing to trade for them?

I saw this earlier and thought it was pretty accurate:

Makes sense, I mean usually you hear either so and so working on trade or trade to be announced. when you hear shopping it isn't a good sign something will get done. cutting JG doesn't save us any money though, so I cant imagine we are moving him

This is why they use the roster bonus. If they trade him they are cleared of the $12.5M bonus hit this year. If they don't, they wil convert the roster bonus to a signing bonus (all a team option) and relegate $10M to future years. They are just doing their due diligence. If someone offers enough the Saints would take the dead money hit. If not, it is business as usual and Galette will be around for the foreseeable future.
