RR isn't going to release him. If TW doesn't take the next trade offer, doesn't accept a new deal here (most unlikely) and then holds out, I wouldn't be surprised if RR takes the same line as Allen in the end and say "you want to f* with my situation, I'll f* with yours" then transition tag him (assuming there's no better benefit to applying it to another player at that time; if so cut him and have done). He could be looking at being 34 having held out for effectively 3 years by then and likely have to retire having missed out on c. $30M. And quite possibly miss out on any HoF chance.

Surely he has to see that the best case scenario is taking the next offer from whoever that is and moving on? Worst case is he destroys his legacy.
