I'm not gonna argue that. Wasn't my words, just a theory I read at the time. Maybe that was best case. The point of the article was that they were more interested in compensation than retaining him long term.Kurt G.O.A.T. wrote: ↑Wed Nov 27, 2019 4:13 pmthe comp pick is gained the year after the player leaves in fa. so if he leaves in 2021 then the comp pick will be for the 2022 draft.dlf_mikeh wrote: ↑Wed Nov 27, 2019 12:41 pmI'm pretty sure I found one of the links here: https://www.si.com/nfl/browns/browns-ma ... er-season/WhatWouldDitkaDo wrote: ↑Wed Nov 27, 2019 12:29 pmHmm...interesting. Thanks, can you link source? I've been off Hunt as a bye in dynasty, but that could change if this true. Also, I'll just add that Hunt has played well since returning from suspension, so if he stays clean and produces ROS, whatever plans CLE had to dump him for a comp pick could change by season's end.
There was another website that I'm having a tough time finding, but the theory is that it'd be silly to spend money to keep Kareem Hunt, so they would be better off giving him a third round tender and letting him walk. If nobody signs him and they keep him for another year at that bargain price, he could sign elsewhere in 2021 and they'll stand to received the 3rd round compensatory pick in 2021. It's a literal win-win for Cleveland.
also, there's no way they'll get a 3rd rounder for him. unless some team signs him for $16m+ per year.
