This is why the Vikings only got a 6th for a top-10 graded guard.
-
He’s injured
-
He’s in the last year of his contract
-
There have been no discussions at all about an extension
-
Of the three other 1-for-1 OL trades this season, no player netted higher than a 6th
-
(Most important) This staff did not draft him, and obviously feel comfortable about parting with him
Could we’ve gotten more than a 6th rounder from compensatory picks
Not if we equaled it out with free agency spending
