I agree. I'm not going there. I can't shake the thinking that any adeal for Quinn is for one or two years at the most. And I'm not giving up a 3rd round pick for that "privilege".
I heard someone suggest it was draft neutral if we get back a 3rd round comp when Quinn leaves
A few things:
Comp Picks are not guaranteed.... you have to sign less than you lose
Comp Picks are delayed a year..... this cuts their value in half
There are 8 rounds to the Draft......not 7....... 256 picks total
Comp Picks are at the end of a Round....... 3rd Comp is really an early 4th Round pick
Quinn will never see 10m APY again.... he will be a 4th round Comp at best...... 5th or 6th at worst
So our 3rd Round pick today + our 7th + an extension for the one good year and the hopes of a Comp Pick is a bad deal
