?That’s ones of the stupidest things I’ve heard in a while
If Battle was in the top 25% of earners in the Saints salary cap, they would be able to match any bid whether it was going to trigger band one or not, then they could force a trade and receive something closer to his worth.
The fact that the Saints didn’t value Battle enough to pay him in the top 25% of players on its list (thus making him a UFA) suggests he’s not valuable enough to warrant an early first round selection, no?
