My point is not what we ended up getting for him. I don’t dispute that’s fair market value because that’s what we ultimately ended up with. I just think it’s probably going to be a loss versus how things would’ve played out had we kept him and moved money forward elsewhere.
No one can seriously feel good about what we got in return here, could they? We’re trying to justify it by pointing out that this allows Veach to move up in the draft more easily? The value of this pick allows us to potentially move up from 32 to 28. That doesn’t sound wonderful or exciting, even if that’s the reality.
I’m not mad or upset because I trust Veach. I just think it’s a very bleh end result here but I’ll fully judge it after seeing the rest of the offseason.

Yeah the trade value is underwhelming until you see what the market was. I don’t think Veach wanted another Chris Jones holdout situation potentially happening again and we need the money to fill out the roster.
I get we could restructure but there are multiple reasons why that wasn’t an option. One could be Clark telling him no more cash. He just gave a lot to Mahomes in a restructure. Wouldn’t be surprised if that was the situation.
