Probably the contracts. Pretty much controlled waivers.

Does trading a guy for a draft pick change that? You still eat your own guys bonus. And you still take on the base salary of the other teams player.

Thomas restructured his deal for the trade, so I'm assuming that made it easier to deal him.

Ah, that makes a little more sense then.
Pretty crazy a player not only going to the team he is traded to but also restructuring his contract in the process. He didn't even give the Jags a list of teams he'd be willing to be traded to.

I would do all I could to get out of Jacksonville, too.

From what I read they both were going to restructure for the trade.

Report: Chiefs expected to tag Eric Berry, let Dontari Poe hit free agency
Posted by Josh Alper on February 27, 2017, 10:12 AM EST
Chiefs safety Eric Berry said Sunday that he doesn’t have high hopes that he and the team would agree to terms on a multi-year contract before the March 1 deadline to use the franchise tag.
A report from Ed Werder of ESPN makes it sound like Berry has good reason for pessimism on that front. Unless there’s a change in the next 48 hours, Werder reports that the expectation in Kansas City is that the team will use the tag on Berry for the second straight season.
Berry said in the past and again on Sunday that he will not play out the year under the tag, which would leave him in position to make around $13 million barring a long-term deal. The two sides would have until July 15 to work on such a contract.
Using the tag on Berry would mean the Chiefs couldn’t use it on defensive tackle Dontari Poe. Per Werder, the expectation is that the Chiefs would then let Poe hit free agency next month. Poe would likely find a good market for his services under that scenario and that could push his price out of range for the Chiefs to hold onto both of their free agent defensive stars.

3 years for about 25 mil and 11 mil in signing bonus. I would have been interested had he hit free agency. Oh well. I might as well just move on to the draft and accept that free agency is going to be painful.

Yeah this was all but a conclusion. I'm more curious to see what happens with Berry and Ingram. I expect Berry to get the franchise tag even though he doesn't want it.

Now that I'm a bit surprised by. But good for Paul, he blew half his hand off, only had 7 sacks and now he is going to get paid like the elite at his position. Oh and 5.5 of those sacks came against the Browns and Bears in a 2 game stretch.
The dude gets way overrated.
