If there have been trade talks and there are any hangups, they are probably about draft pick or player compensation.

I hear ya. But teams worried about the cap next year have to weigh 6M or so for 7 games of Ryan Kerrigan in 2020 (fa after this) vs having 6M more for breathing room in 2021.

Probably all moot .. team said they arent trading him (and will continue to play him for 17% of snaps and alienate your only real vet presence in the locker room? makes little sense imo)

He's been a real nice player for the 'Skins for 10 years or so. Can't argue that one bit. However, he isn't a full time impact player anymore, and there are now better options ahead of him on the roster. The players understand this is a business, and he is smart enough to know they aren't going to just give him away. His best bet is to play his ass off when he gets his opportunities, and show out for his next team/contract.
