Now you can get an elite player for a low price, so they are really going to want a team to make it worthwhile to trade down.

Kyle DeLexus addresses this in the post I've quoted two posts down, but to expand on his post, that chart was created well before the top 5-10 draft picks became so expensive to sign.
The rookie slotting in this new CBA makes that chart relevant again.

We had a two year window with an aging, injury prone QB, on a team that was otherwise ascending.
Bringing in that kind of QB on that kind of team is fine, but you better have a young developing backup to take over when that QB retires or is hurt.
Who would have guessed that an aging injury prone QB would get injured before he was able to get his team to a SB?

Pioli will NOT cut loose of his coach and QB that were suppose to Save the franchise in the same season. His EGO is too BIG to look bad and admit he has made this team Much worse than when he took it over. They will trade down and get a "value" pick and pretty much be the same Cheap team as this year. Clark will act concerned as he is taking those checks to the bank though.

Cassel, if they chose to do it, could be cut with no cap repercussions.
His bonuses have all already been paid.

I believe the trade chart will just become relative for the top of the draft again.
