It's the same reason why we didn't get anything for Lumpkin or Havner- Teams knew they were due to be cut so they could just put in a waiver claim and grab them without having to give anything up in return. It's nonsense to think Ted Thompson isn't willing to trade draft picks for players. TT gets aggressive when he sees a need. Look at last years draft, when he traded to get back into the 1st round to select Clay Matthews. What did he give away, a 2nd and two thirds just to move up?I agree Lynch would be a good pickup, especially considering the salary. But we're not gonna give up anything more than a 4th for him, especially if that move involves trading Hawk, who for all intents and purposes, has been a solid player.</blockquote>
