Thanks, thats good to know. But..... if a player has a no-trade clause in his contract can teams still make claims, or when he gets released does he immediately become a FA?

Also one thing ive never understood is why the vast majority of “premium” (regular starters with multiyear deals) NFL players dont ask for no-trade clauses, since trades occur so much less than other sports. Why wouldn’t a player want control of his own destiny, the reduced contract cant be that much for premium players. Any insight on that?
