I think the difference between, say, 2-4 and 2-6, is enough to create a lot more sellers. Off the top of my head, I know Reggie Bush is a free agent in 2013. If the Dolphins are 2-6, why not trade him to some contender that lost its RB for the season? It's not like they were going to tag him in the offseason, and they have little use for him for the remainder of the season. I think you're going to see more trades along those lines.
