Vigil and Eifert should certainly not break the bank, but I get what you’re saying. Retaining salary is never going to happen anyway, so it’s not really worth arguing over. I just don’t think it was such an out there suggestion that deserved to be jumped on like it was. If worked right, and we hit a home run with a higher pick it would be totally worth it. Picks are very important for a team like us as we all know. Hell, there’s still people willing to pass on Burrow for more picks...
But like I said it’s not happening.
