Plus, I don't really understand the thought of "trade him and get draft picks so we can have cheap players and they'll be good cause we draft so well".
Why not just keep said player and keep drafting well?

Why not?
1. He wants insane money, apparently $30 million.
2. An injury to him ****s your entire team bc of resources in one player (see Buffalo once Von got hurt).
3. He's got maybe 3 years left of being this good before the decline and we get one of them this season.
4. Having 4 solid rushers instead of one great one isn't the end of the world for us.
Follow the tea leaves. Drafted Karlaftis, turned around and drafted FAU, reportedly wanted DT Mazi Smith in the draft, signed Omenihu who is one of the better interior rushers on passing downs.
They've known about this and have been preparing for it
