your right...and we even save a little cap room this year this way. It was just risky to dangle a guy who was obviously a big part of our plans for next year out there for no more than a 7th round pick. The money's close so at the end of the day it works out OK, but it was an unnecessary risk IMO because if Denver or someone else threw closer to #2 money at him then we have taken our one position group that was more or less set and turned it into need.
