KC knew entering negotiations that if Oakland didn't match they would have to trade their 2nd rounder for the rights to him.

So according to your line of reasoning, if Tony Gonzalez were a FA, and the Chiefs placed the franchise tag on him, then the Raiders signed him to an offer sheet, which the Cheifs then didn't match, getting a pair of first rounders in return as required compensation, then that is a trade.
Am I right?
