I'm not sure if I'm understanding correctly, but you're suggesting they pay him $15 mil for one year while his market value is half that? He would jump at the QO in that scenario and hit the market again next year. If he turned down the QO, nobody will be willing to sign him with draft pick compensation attached. I feel it's very unlikely they end up with draft pick compensation for him. I thought of that too, but he may bet on himself and get that 25mil gururanteed vs taking the quick 15mil. The newer pick compensation hampers my thought though.
