Why couldn't we offer our #30 + cap relief? Did we even make an offer?
Miami doesn't want the #30. The #30 is a first round pick and the cap hold is immediately charged to their salary cap. A second round pick doesn't count against their cap until after they sign the drafted player. The only better package would have been the #31 pick (or a future 1st).
