If true this would be the definition of doing something stupid, as in 'we could get a player at a high salary and the cost of a 1st and a 2nd pick, not exactly a bargin, or we could lose both picks and 2.5 million and not get anything.
The only way it makes sense to try an offer sheet this expensive to the kid is if you think there is no risk, as the offer itself isn't a bargin.
