Several weeks ago I remember reading part of an article where the writer said there was some clause in NFL rules that said if a team traded a player, then the player was back on the same by the time the next season started, the players original team had to give the draft pick back.

This was an article on extremeskins.com/breaking news. I'm assuming that since no one else is talking about this, then it means that article must have come out on april fools, so it was just a joke. Anyone ever hear of anything like that?

Also, techinically, we "released" Mark Brunell, but the way we did it, we were still able to get a 7th round Compensatory pick for him, as if he were a FA - is there any way the same could apply to how we handled Taylors contract?

I realize both those thoughts represent nothing more than grasping at straws, but it would be nice if we got some sort of compensation for that loser.
