I'm still of the belief we should trade him now and get a good draft pick in exchange, depending on a fair offer.

I'm sorry, we're in complete disagreement.
DJ has not performed like the #15 overall pick of the draft. He's performed more along the lines of a 3rd or 4th rounder. If you told me that Donnie Edwards was drafted #15 overall and DJ was drafted in the 4th (the exact opposite of reality), that would buy. But as we all know, that isn't the case.
DJ isn't a game-changing player. I was at the Jets game when he had a sure INT for 6 points, sealing the game. He dropped it. He does those types of things time and time and time again. And this past season, he was bit by the injury bug.
While the defense would improve dramatically if even average players were a the other OLB and MLB positions, Derrick Johnson's play would be the same.
He's just not a "special" player. The Chiefs missed again.
