This is our FO thinking outside the box and being proactive and forward thinking. I know Pels fans are used to having an incompetent front office, but I'm kinda surprised after all they've already done this off-season, that y'all wouldn't trust that Griff and co have a plan with this deal. We will now have the contracts with him and Moore to move for a big name player at the deadline. If we hadn't done this, we would've had to include a player we'd rather keep longterm. Think people. This was a genius move.
