it's a result of the Phil & RAC conference yesterday. When RAC was asked about Tuck & Shaffer, he responded that "we'll try them all at the different spots". He was asked if Shaffer would/could be moved to guard.. RAC says "we'll try him and see what we got"... same thing when asked about Tucker at Guard.
Him getting traded? I doubt it, though I guess it's possible.
We gave him $36 million over seven years ($9.335 million in bonuses).
His salary info:
2006 585000.00
2007 815000.00
2008 2900000.00
2009 2650000.00
2010 2900000.00
2011 3400000.00
2012 3400000.00
SubTotal: 13.25 M
Bonuses: 9.335 M
Total 22.585 M
That leaves roughly 13.5 million unaccounted for in that $36M contract.
So, any team trading for him would give up something to get him and absord almost $13M in salaries and $13.5M in what is likely roster & workout bonuses on a 6 year contract.... and all of what remains of that $ 9.335M in bonus money accellerates onto this year's Cap.
I just don't see it happening.
I see him moving to RT and Tuck moving inside to RG, unless Bentley is back, then Bentley would be inside and I think Shaffer would be a super-sub at both tackle spots (unless of course Bents goes to Center, then it's Tuck at RG and Shaffer at RT with Fraley backing up Bentley.
Damned if I know, except it's a damnedf nice problem to have to figure out
