I agree with your thought process 100%. High level thinking I like it. My only comment would be this applied to the Bears as well. Why trade away a player for a third round pick when you can have him for the year on a cheap rookie deal and still get the third round pick if he leaves in free agency. Makes no sense. IMHO his "value" is the last year of his current deal. What is that worth? For a playoff hungry team that looks like they have a chance but needs a CB I would say it could be worth a fair bit. Then if you give away a lot to get him you are stuck needing to resign him to a long term deal or you are wasting the picks you used to get him. The Amari Cooper conundrum. Things are always much more complicated than they appear and all we have is the clown show to lead the way.Even if he doesn't resign because you prioritize bland or he wants to much, he'll fetch you a third in compensatory pick in return. If you have up a third it would be like moving to the back of the round for a rental.
