Sure sounds like a guy you'd want to burn a 2nd round pick on to be a 1 year rental.

Again, I think his 'temper-tantrum' is directed at the Seahawks specifically and the way they have handled things with him. I don't think he would act that way if he ended up on the Chiefs, Patriots, Rams, etc. (pick your contender). He's smart. He and his agent knows he will get paid big in the off-season if he gets to FA. Especially at a time when the league values safety play probably more than it ever has.
And as far as the second round pick goes, I get the logic on both sides. But, to me, the risk (for this season and what it could mean) outweighs the reward (insert random late second round player) of holding onto the pick when you have a chance to land an impact player (even if it is only for one season).
Again, just my opinion.
