It ain't getting done for a guy who needs a new contract and the #10 pick. It looks like a 25 mill or so cap hit if they trade him. So you make a trade and then have to sign a new guy? To a giant deal.
Given the signing bonus this would mean that Russ made over 100 mill dollars over the first two years of his current deal. I know they have a very rich ownership group but no GM is looking to drop another 60 million in bonus at a position that they just spent a ton on ... but they'd have to because there is no way they could afford to have Dak play on the tag.
I love Russ, but Dak is the undisputed team leader. You don't move those guys and expect things to go well.
