Hell, we're the #1 seed in the AFC and we don't care if he's ready for snaps right now. You carry 8 gameday inactives either way.
We're more likely to lose Thompson to a team that sees him as a developmental possibility than we are Herring to a team that sees him as a bullet catcher for 7 snaps/gm.
And if we lose Herring - who cares? Sign some street free agent veteran that can absorb some reps. Whereas Thompson has some legit long-term ability that can still be developed.
The latter is harder to find than the former.

Sure but there's nothing to hang your hat on with Thompson, he's had zero snaps. Herring has at least something on tape, it's not good but it's not nothing. I don't know that anyone does see Thompson as a developmental guy, just as likely they see him as an older prospect who can't get snaps. I mean, do we care if we lose either of these guys? Man I can't wait until next draft - all WRs, every pick :-)
