I would also be curious that if we were to say, give them our 2nd rounder, if the Cards would be willing to eat a bunch of his base salary somehow.

If he was still in his mid-20s, sure. But he's not. We have about $8.3M cap space left and we'll need most of that to sign our draft class (10 picks at $705K, not counting signing bonuses). Sure enough, the Jones Savings and Loan extension will help, but the bottom line is we don't have a pile of cash to throw at him. Certainly not the $19+M he's owed this year.
