Have i been telling my dad the right thing?

If we let him sign elsewhere for megabucks we get the third back, potentially, in the form of comp pick. Let's confuse the matter fully.

We could then trade that comp pick with NE next offseason to acquire Ridley back, and only be on the hook for his remaining salary, thereby forcing NE to eat all of the signing bonus on their cap.

It's the smartest play in the long game.
