Now that Allen is gone FIRE SALE! Trade ERRBODY! Stockpile Picks!
The idea that a player isn't worth trading for a 6-7 round pick is crazy. Especially for players who won't be coming back or are the wrong fit or are just bad. If you look at the draft calculators you can see that you need a healthy pool of late round picks to trade up.
If you can get a 6th or 7th for a player costing you 12 million a season and contributing very little it seems wise to trade that player for a potential player who makes only 3.9 million based on round value. It's part of the reason the team is a mess in that we are loaded with top value players who aren't worth the money.
