Belichik values 2nd rd picks much more than 1st's for this reason....the money you have to pay is often 1/4 of what a1st gets.

Mortensen was making this point yesterday when discussing the possibility of Cutler going to Denver. He said Denver doesn't want any part of the #1 pick.
If you think about it, ridding yourself of $14M in salary offsets any value loss. I still don't know why they franchised him.
