They could get probably get a 2nd and 3rd. Is it worth it for the best defensive player? You've got to use at least one of those picks to try to replace him, plus your thin at the position to start with.
Pay the man. Give him bonuses tied into games played and/or have clauses about not getting paid if suspended, etc.

Q: Herm, back on December 25th you were asked if Trent Green was your starter going into next season and you said, ‘yeah, why wouldn’t he be?’ Have you changed your mind on that?
EDWARDS: No, I have not.”
