True, but it's definitely disappointing that we gave up a 2nd and a 4th for him, and one year later, the best we can apparantly do (barring something unforeseen in the next couple days or so) is two 6th rounders in two years.

On the bright side at least we didn't release him, and potentially get nothing for him. Although I still have that remaining question, if we released him and he went and got a nice sized deal and had a Pro Bowl year somewhere else, would we get a 3rd round comp pick for him? I know the comp pick strategy chart has something to do with losing more players than you take in, but I don't know the exact details.
