Nor does it go up when they spend more and more time on the bench. We waited a full year and a half to attempt to trade him. Anyone spinning that as a positive deserves an honorary Geoff Hobson badge.
Now is this as big a deal as people are acting like? No. We'll still likely get a pick for him next year...assuming someone offers him a solid deal. A 2nd rounder this year vs a 3rd next year is the least of the franchise's issues. A 2nd rounder wasn't going to make or break us. A look at our history of 2nd round picks is all you need to know that.
True for his value not sure if we got any options on him back then.
And really it was more valuable to have a backup we know could step in for Dalton if he was hurt again or took longer to recover than expected. than a 2-4th draft pick... decent backup QBs are very valuable and not in high supply (baring a cant refuse offer which it seems we never received)
