mr.jameswoods;2340187 said:I think other teams would have offerred similar compensation like the Eagles but I assumed Roy had a say in where he wanted to play and I know he wanted to play for Dallas so that would give us the edge in signing him.
Do you think another team like the Eagles would have offerred a first and a third round pick for him?
Beats me, but I don't think the Lions would have settled for just a first-round pick if they franchised him. I think a first and third would be about the minimum they'd accept. If nobody offered that, they would have kept him around. The fact that we threw in a sixth-round pick is virtually irrelevant, and the fact that we got him NOW instead of next offseason is a huge bonus.
