I believe 7/15 is just his last chance to sign an extension with the Texans. After that he can only sign his tender. But that doesn't affect the new deal that would have to come with any team that trades for him.
That is what people are forgetting who want to trade him. He is only going to agree to a trade if the team he is going to is willing to give him the new deal he is looking for. And nobody will trade for him without a new deal worked out ahead of time. So it's not like we can just unload him for a draft pick. We have to find a team willing to pay him what he wants AND give us what we want. It's not likely to happen.
