The main reason I ask is because an article I read recently, said if a team puts an offer in for him and we don't match we get there 2015 and 2016 first round picks? Is this correct?

If it had occurred last week, we would have gotten their 2014 and 2015 1st rounders.

But now its too late to include the 2014 pick, so we'd get their 2015 and 2016 picks.

To be honest, if a team was going to make a play for him, the smart thing to do would be wait until the 2014 pick wasn't an option.
