The amount left is $11.8M. We can only use it in a trade with 1 single player coming back and we cannot combine it with any of our players outgoing. The amount cannot go over the value of the TE. I looked yesterday for guys that might be at that level, but the thing is, they're all mostly what we have already and mostly in the $9-10M range.
I remember a few months back seeing people say that exceptions are worth much anymore or don't hold the same value. Is that true?
In what way could you use the exception in a trade?
As I was looking, the best I could come up with as a target was Jerami Grant. I see him as on par with what we got currently, although I'm really low on Powell, and I was already low on him before. Biggest problem with him is the FO seemingly giving his play a pass. I think he'd be just fine on the bench with a lower contract. Not sure why he got a bigger one than Maxi as the two of them are basically on par with eachother, I just like defense more so I lean toward Maxi.
If you want to follow the exercise I did yesterday, I just brought up all the teams on the espn trade checker and looked for guys in the $8.5-11.5M range on each roster.
