I doubt they'd retain tbh (or buy him out
@Tony Romo), Rags are thinking cup and he's a solid enough player that someone will take him if he's by the side of the road with a "Free" sign on him. Retention would be our responsibility, pay Seattle to retain 2m or something like that for a 2nd.
The way I see it, 5m for a guy who can play top matchups for 20 minutes a night is a good baseline. Another 1m for the physical presence and intangibles. The extra 2m he gets is overpayment for sure.
I think this is a tire-kicker type of interest rather than something to really get excited about. Too many notable UFA's that are probably better fits. But Trouba would be a good fit (not perfect) so I assume there'll be some interest.
@Fogelhund I remember when he left Winnipeg there was speculation that he might not want to play in Canada again. Perhaps that's true and he doesn't, such is life. His wife would be able to practice medicine in Canada, afaik we recognize American credentials. Far more likely is that she says, "I just don't want to live in Canada honey" and if my wife is any example, that's the end of THAT
