You can say it any way you like, none of the possible rewording options will make the desire even remotely logical. You want to take a trip around the world to cross the street.

Why do you expect to get something for something that you do not own or have any legal right to? To say you would sign him to a longer contract to 'get something for him' isn't getting something for him... You will get something for the couple of million you had to pay him for the extra year PLUS a couple more million to pay the new player.

Just let him walk as we have and use the money to get another player.

Do you rent a carpet cleaner for two days so that you can maybe get something back when you return it after the first day?

Forget Teddy for a minute. I don't know why I'm bothering but here goes my last stab at it. Some teams, the Pats were mentioned by another poster, I mentioned Andy Reid, manage to trade a lot of players to get draft picks consistently instead of just letting them play out their contracts and walk. The Eagles and Pats always seemed to have tons of picks, they also had a lot of success. I would like to see Mickey adopt this philosophy. That's all.
