I suspect that IF we are trying to secure Houston, it will rely heavily on us not only getting pick 12 from GC, but also offloading one or more of Kennedy, Owies & Young. I reckon Houston will eat a fair bit of Salary cap (certainly more than any for the fore-mentioned 3) in addition to Pick 13.I don't think its about us being keen or not.
You only nominate another team if you know they can get the deal done. If we say pick 11 is a no go, then we'll either need to buckle on that or be very confident we can get 12 off GC for him to nom us. Plus how Port goes with other targets will also impact their willingness to let him go so might want to see how that plays out.
Suspect that's what holding up the nom.
