Doubt they would have gotten 3rd round comp for losing him this year. I mean signing Whitworth and Woods alone would likely cancel that out, plus had Tru been gone and they still had 16 mill to play with? Who know who else they may have signed.
I still don't think they were trying to work the system, but who knows. I'd rather get a 4th or 5th rounder this year than pay Tru next
Exactly. They were trying to guarantee that they got something for him. Letting him walk could result in a 2018 3rd pick, but they had plans to sign other free agents so they would not get that if he left via free agency.
