you've made multiple assumptions here, but I'll just address one - I think they could have offered more and still be within the comp window for the 3rd (I don't remember, but I don't think they offered max amount for a 3rd.
That brings up an interesting question though: do teams know what has been offered by others? I presume not. I assume each team would have to make their offer with a blind bid
