Trade Dunta?

Are you serious? We will franchise Dunta next year and he will be in the exact same position, so having him under contract is no issue.

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.
