As for talking to other teams now, we don't have to. His agent does. They look for a team willing to re-work his deal, and then come to us when they find one (exactly like we tried with Orlando Pace). Then terms of a trade are worked out. He signs his contract with us, is traded, and signs the new extension with his new team. It is very simple and fairly common.

Guys get traded who are franchised all the time, and many of them are yet to sign their offer sheet.

OK then, if that's how it works what if any implications are there of him signing vs not signing the Texans' tender offer on or before 7/15/'09 ?
BTW I don't see D-Rob fetching more than a second rounder at this time without a real "stress-test" this Fall ?
