He’s just been caught on video in an act of violence against a female, which is only at least the 2nd time he’s been linked to acting out violently, and he totally lied to me and the big boss about the entire incident. He’s going to be on the exempt list the rest of this year and God knows how long he will be suspended in 2019. Oh, by the way, he just got out of medical and his testing shows he’s likely to develop CTE in the next couple years, if not sooner. Let’s hear your offers, fellas”

Are you aware of the fact that CTE antibodies can be found in common blood exams ?
Which means you don't have to go out and spill the beans like that. If someone's interested they will take their their steps to evaluate if the player is healthy, mentally and otherwise. You don't buy a player like a pair of shoes.
And are you aware how many players who are positive keep playing and being traded ?
Being positive doesn't mean you are "likely" to develop the disease, it's just a marker.
Let's be honest and face the reality of facts, and how things are dealt with in the NFL, below the surface.
Do you really believe no one would be interested in trading for KHunt for "lying" (besides the "terrible incident" (which is totally irrelevant in this scenario, as we've all seen much worse, and players keep playing) ?
