That’s just other teams fans hopelessly hoping.
The same thing is happening with Donko fans. Surtain is worth 2 1st round picks and we can just include him in any trade and yada, yada, blah, blah. And then reality set in. To trade Surtain would require wherever Surtain goes giving him a huge contract per his agent. If he’s so valuable, and so pivotal to the trade, you aren’t trading him and he just continues to play on his rookie contract. He’s immediately going to say, “I’m really good which is why you just blew you’re wad trading for me so, PAY ME or I’m sitting out.” The team taking him on would have already agreed to terms with Surtain on a new contract. And nobody cares that the Donkos thinks hes worth 2 1st round picks. The team trading for him will say, “Yeah, thats neato, but everybody knows what you are doing and that you are desperate for picks to go get a QB and he’s worth one 1st. Take it or leave it, but that’s all you are getting”.
MIN couldn’t sign JJ and Surtain together. And neither would budge in their demands.
Donkos would have to trade him somewhere who could incur his money demands then use the pick in a package to move up.
It’s fairytale dream world right now for a lot of fans, while a huge tsunami wave of reality is coming in a few weeks.
