If you were attempting to trade for this player and had a better offer out there that was not accepted, then you have the right to be upset by this.
If you were not actively providing an offer or creating dialogue, then you’re just a spectator. It’s easy to look in and say if this and if that, but it hardly means anything in comparison to what happened - I.e. if this and if that never happened and are hugely speculation.
I agree though, one year left in the tank. This is, individually, not the most egregious trade I’ve seen in XFL the past few months. Dude has to be scouting and making offers or something that most out us are not doing so in turn not getting the value or testing the if this and if that options.
