Quote:This is where I believe the topic idea has spiraled.


I haven't read this whole thread, so I'm not sure if people have advocated this. But, trading Shorts for a "mid to late round pick," or "4th rd pick" is pretty silly. It would definitely be better to extend/keep him.


Now, if there's a team that offered much better value, then it should be considered.

For instance:

1. an earlier round pick (2-3)

2. an okay player (any position) + mid round pick

3. A stud player (Mack,,etc) for giving up Shorts + a mid-late pick


Not likely to be offered, but something along those lines is better.


There's no sense in trading Shorts for just a mid-late pick, IMO.
