But, when we lose a player to free agency...they tout the Compensatory pick like it's gold and riches beyond measure!

Unreal.

I don’t have any problem with him saying this IF we didn’t have any solid offers. He’s right, just because were bad doesn’t mean we should give our stars away for 3rd-4th round picks. However it’s been reported the packers offered a 1st and 3rd which is definitely a very solid offer for 1/2 year of AJ.

Sometimes good teams feel like bad teams should just hand over their good players, especially in baseball, when they are out of it. He’s right it’s not a bad teams job to make good teams better, but when the offer makes us younger, cheaper and gives more team control and when the player is aging, oft injured and in the last year of his deal-it only makes sense to take a first rounder plus and jump start the rebuild.

That offer isn’t another team trying to screw us or that feels their entitled to our stars because we’re 0-8. This is a team willing to pay a fair price or even overpay for AJ. Just take the gift they are offering and look towards the future
