the way it might work is if they think Dickie can turn it around enough to be useful to them. I wouldn't want to go any higher than a 4th to dump Dickie, I'd rather waive him and save the 1.025 mil in cap sending him to Abby, and who knows maybe Ottawa claims him.
I realize this is all long-shot thinking, but I don't want to send good money after bad just to dump Dickie.
