Re-visiting our attempt to trade Steven Nelson

[RealSNR]

I lost the tweet in the muck of the Marcus Peters threads, but apparently a report was out that we were shopping (or still are shopping) Steven Nelson. I have no idea if he was being used as added enticement to get the Rams to pony up some better compensation or what. I know every man has his price and all, but Nelson seems like a somewhat valuable depth player, or at least that's the role he's played for us the past several years. Maybe I wouldn't re-sign him past his rookie deal, and I certainly wouldn't really ever trust putting him in a starting role, but to trade him for what is likely nothing more than a mid-round draft pick? Probably a 3rd at best?

I'd like to think his value to us is a little more than that. He's not the best corner, but he's been one of the only somewhat solid parts of our secondary for the past many years, when one considers the insane instability of the 2nd CB spot that's been filled from just about every JAG off the street one can think of.

Do we want him gone? Are we just too cheap to pay him more than he's worth when his rookie deal expires this season? What would you take for him, or what are some trade scenarios where you could see this realistically happening?
