Richie Incognito
Richie had a pretty good year, and somehow managed to earn a Pro Bowl bid. He's not a good fit for the zone blocking scheme, and his contract expires next off-season, so I was wondering, what do you guys think his trade value would be? It's probably at the highest it'll ever be with his age and seeing that he just made the Pro Bowl.
No trade value at all... I mean, I guess we could pull a 5th or a conditional 4th, but he'd be more valuable on the team.

Maybe throw him in on a draft day trade but doubt we get much besides that
You lost me on "earned" a pro bowl, the guy playing next to him is 10x better and is sitting home.
Nope it is what it is, Richie isn't the lines biggest problem right now so he stays to the end of his contract. Cross this bridge next year when you get to it.

I'd like to see him traded but I think he'll play his one year out.
I'd imagine he is worth a late round pick, and I would look into it because he just isn't a great fit in our system.
If I couldn't get a trade, I'd consider cutting him because I've read it saves around $4.3 million in cap money/space.
It would be smart to have him as the starting LG in 2013 for $5 million. He isn't terrible and plus we can draft a LG next year and go OT this year.
There are a lot of concerns as far as the team goes. We need WR, OL, and some secondary players. Not totally sure whats available in the draft, but if the first round or two offers the opportunity to improve somewhere aside from the OL, and you think you can score a quality LG in a mid round, I think it's worth having Richie around to teach the new kid and give him a year to develop. A late round pick isn't enough to tickle my interests, unless of course you bring in a few of the bigger free agents and you need to clear that $5 million.

He doesn't fit the scheme, he's pretty pricey for what we're getting and the biggest reason I think we'll move him is Philbin had to bench him for a few plays after he took a dumb penalty. I don't think Philbin likes guys that like to be known as the dirtiest player in the league.
I like him myself but I'll be surprised to see him back.
