So who was offering more?
Are we working under the assumption that Loomis took less from Washington than he was offered from either Baltimore or KC?
Trades have to have a partner.
As for the trade for SP… Payton wanted to go to Denver. That was the only situation where he was coming back. So if we didn’t take the trade, he could sit out another year and go wherever he wanted and we got nothing.
Again, trades have two sides.
