I understand what conditional means, and in the NFL if typically (although not always) means conditional on the guy making the roster. I guess my question really is why can't they disclose what the pick *could* beif the conditions are met ?
So what's the big mystery with Ross Tucker ? What advantage/disadvantage does a team garner from not disclosing the terms of the deal ?
Maybe that part of deal has not really been worked out yet. This could be a trade in principle, knowing that it could be anywhere from a 4-7th pick depending on games played, but they are still establishing all the criteria.
Then it would be hard to tell us. Might be the paperwork still needs some filing with the leauge offices.
Plausible, I suppose. But the scope of this particular trade doesn't seem like it would require a lot of back and forth. It is probably a simple transaction.
