Your long term deal is for the same money AS is getting just structured differently.

First, If we sign KC to a deal, AS is not coming here. Why would he.
2nd, you are missing a whole lot of the points:
1) we can't negotiate with other teams without the FT in place. But if we negotiate, KC's lawyers would argue that proves our intent was not in good faith.
2) It doesn't matter if the LTD is the same money, If KC gets 34M this year, which he would, WHY would he sign it, when he can sign the FT and get 34M this year and be free and clear of the Skins next year?? He already has shown that is how he would handle it by the past two years.
3) What team, if the Skins have a deal on the table with KC for the FT tender amount this year, is going to make a trade for him? No other team is going to pay him the cap sum of 34M this year?
4) We would be stupid to put our team on the hook for 34M for a QB we have moved on from.
5) A second round pick isn't worth risking the cap penalty or loss of draft picks that losing a grievance (WHICH KC HAS SAID HE WILL FILE) that you have at best a 50/50 shot to win. (We would definitely lose it, but I am saying 50/50 because weirder things have happened)
