trading for a player that needs a new contract anyway shouldn't cost an arm and a leg. The fact is, you're just securing rights, so you aren't trying to get equal value for the player. If that were the case, then no less than a first should be warrented. I would think a third rounder is PLENTY. Or a fourth and a sixth... We gave a third for Willie Roaf, who was an eight time probowler and lock for the Hall of Fame...
I suggest that we offer to trade whatever player Miami wants in the third round... We'll pick him and trade him, since we can't technically trade the comp pick. That's being more than fair.
