Holmes is only making 7.5 million this year. He agreed to a pay cut from $11 million 7.5 million last March. A pretty cool thing for Holmes to do as we was guaranteed 7.5 million this year even if we had cut him. That being said trading Holmes for anything of value is dreaming. One cannot magically make other teams trade and give value for players simply because we want them to do it. I also agree with your sentiment that his salary even at 7.5 million is likely large enough to scare away anyone even if he was healthy and performing at a high level.
They should trade him for genos development. Holmes when healthy is clearly the best receiver on the team. With that said he's a mental patient. When he decides to return geno will be forcing the ball into him to often. I think seeing Kelley, Cumberland and hill develop is more beneficial than getting Holmes back. Great player awful teamate. He needs to go to a contender. If he decides he's gonna play again. I think offense will be hurt. Despite yesterday's win. This is about long term development. Holmes is not in those plans. Should try and trade him now for anything.
