Pitt has placed the exclusive rights franchise tag on CB Keenan Lewis and agrees to trade him and pick 5.136 to Denver for pick 2.55
Why not? I am not paying him, i. Didnt have a pick rd 2 or 3. Had 2 5th rd picks i gave up a 5 to get a rd 2..
What I don't get (well, par of what I don't get about this deal) is why the non-exclusive tag? No one is giving up two 1st round picks for Keenan Lewis and it would cost less.
He's pretty good cover corner and can tackle, shadowed #1s this year and held them to a pedestrian 80.1 rating, graded out +3.2 in PFF, he's not worth 11.7M, but I figure pretty much 3rd round value for him is good. I pretty much traded Vontae for Lewis, a 4th, and a 5th.
Heh I can't really say anything I traded a 3rd and 2 4th's PLUS a 5th for Trumaine Johnson, 3rd and 6th on Josh Wilson and a 4th and 6th on Webster who I cut ;p Whoops ;p
Eh, it all works out for the greater good in my eyes. If I can snag someone like Desmond Trufant or Johnthan Banks, I'd be happy.
