And that's why you don't put a lot of stock in rumors surrounding this team. I have a hard time believing they would offer a 2nd round pick for a player in the last year of their contract without getting permission to negotiate a contract first, not only because of the value of the pick, but to get an idea of what the players demands are, especially considering this particular players actions have not been friendly to the idea he would handle being franchised well. No one on the team ever confirmed anything more than inquiring what it would take in compensation and balked at the answer. Everything else seemed to be writers throwing crap on the wall to see what would stick per usual!At the trade deadline they offered a second round pick for ET and Seattle said no. We also know from reports that they offered ET $10-11 million when free agency started and ET said no.
Now I only have a UT education (you know, one of the schools people are cheating to send their kids to) so maybe I am missing something.
How is 2nd pick + $10-11 = great deal, but $14 million and keeping your 2nd round pick =bad deal.
Using that logic, they are saying that $3 million out of $188 million cap is more important than a 2nd round pick. No other way to logically explain they would do the first deal but not the second deal.
