At some point I'd think the difference (Between what we'd get in compensation vs a trade) would be small enough that there'd be reason to simply keep him around...IF you thought Love was good enough to be the "future" to trade up and draft him and IF you think he still potentially can be that guy, would you let that go a year early just to gain what, a +1 round better draft pick? And a lot can change in a year's time. Maybe Love does want a trade now as things stand (provided he is not going to start next year)....but maybe he ends up staying nonetheless and getting the job handed over to him in 2024. A few years down the line it may all be bygones...He certainly wouldn't be the first player to be unhappy with his situation, ask for a trade but not be given one, and ending up happily playing for that same team for a long time... I just don't think he has a ton of leverage either. Ultimately he is still our backup QB. It's one thing if one of your key starting players demands a trade and threatens to sit out...it's another thing if it's a backup. Our worst-case scenario is that Love holds out and we have to have a different backup QB for a year before he leaves and gets us a compensatory pick. Think the risk-reward is probably worth keeping him around.</blockquote>
