Seattle may also not want to use two retention slots in one trade if they are looking to make other trades.
What is a couple million and a half bucks over two retention slots really going to bring back in an asset from Tampa? A 5th round pick?

There has to be a better value opportunity to utilize our two open spots than this.

If Seattle wouldn't want to use 2 of their 3 retention slots in one trade, why would we want to use 2 of our 2 retention slots in one trade?
