Teams will have seen him be somewhat credible as a starter for two teams and two offenses by that point. He signed a 2-year deal with us, so trading teams would have time to reach a longterm extension. He would probably get us the equivalent of a 2nd rounder?
I get that stability and insurance on the OL is what we're gearing towards, but moving Moore over to a different position doesn't necessarily grant us that stability, and it would only be for an extra season. I think at that point you keep drafting and developing tackles the way most teams do.

If Moore is playing outstanding at LT there is no way you trade him away no matter how good Simmons has looked in practice. They thought Kingsley looked good enough in practice to start, but turned out to be too raw. You can never be certain that practice is going to translate into game play.
