Leftwich Going Forward (1 Viewer)

[Big Score]

A noob question here, but why would any team trade for Leftwich if the Jags are going to release him tomorrow? Doesn't the salary in JAX go out the window once he's an FA?

I think a cut / released player must clear waivers before all teams can begin trying to sign said player. I'd say the chances of Lefty clearing waivers is Slim & None...& Slim just left town. So if there's a team out there who really wants him, but has a low waiver priority, they'll try to work out a sign & trade deal.
