There are extremely obvious reasons you shouldn't be allowed to negotiate with another team's player while they're under contract

LEFT 4 DEAD IS A LOT LIKE FOOTBALL - I JERK OFF TO BOTH
I was just reminded of this awesome George Carlin quote about football and wanted to share it with everyone because he's the greatest comedian ever and a national goddamn treasure.

"In football, I root for the Oakland Raiders because they hire castoffs, outlaws, malcontents, and fuckups, they have lots of penalties, fights, and paybacks, and because Al Davis told the rest of the pig NFL owners to go get hosed. Also, they don't have a lot of Christians kneeling down to pray after touchdowns. Christians are ruining sports. Someday, the Raiders will be strong again, and they will dip the ball in poo poo and shove it down the throats of the wholesome, white, heartland teams that pray together and don't deliver late hits."

This needs to be carved into a marble statue of Al Davis standing next to an overhead projector and displayed in museums around the world.

Jack Locker is probably the most forgettable top 10 qb drafted ever in the modern NFL. Even Josh Rosen is more noteworthy just by virtue of being such an amazing failure.

as far as forgettable first round qbs go i never remember josh freeman as one because of the other journeyman josh partially overriding him to me, which might work the opposite way for some others. in other words he's not highly forgettable as a player but as a first rounder. but i imagine a lot of people are intimately familiar with josh's position and he's certainly not a candidate to be the most forgettable modern first round qb overall. thank you so much for talking to me

Blaine Gabbert, Jake Locker, and Christian Ponder being taken between picks 8-12 in the 2011 Draft is like, a total black hole of forgettableness.

Locker was a guy you could kinda sorta see becoming a decent player, but he had an incredible talent for getting injured in utterly random ways the second he threatened to turn the corner.

Shoulder, lisfrac, thumb, wrist, shoulder, quit. Oof.

Kirk Cousins was by every statistical metric the second best QB in Vikings history. He's the Jay Cutler of the Vikings: remembered poorly because despite being that good he should have been so much better.

It's honestly beautiful to sandwich Cousins' years between Christian Ponder and Sam Darnold.

The good part was that the Bills traded back.

My favorite QB bust is Christian Hackenberg, because a lot of people knew he was terrible, but someone was still going to draft him with a premium pick because he looked the part of the big cannon-armed pocket passer.

https://www.pff.com/news/draft-why-pff-doesnt-have-a-draftable-grade-on-christian-hackenberg

That someone was the New York Jets, and the 2nd round draft pick burning a hole in their pocket.

And then they took themselves out of the QB market in the Mahomes/Watson year because they had him.
