Because we have moved on from Marshawn and would have been forced to release him if he came out of retirement without a trade in place. The only leverage we had to prevent that scenario was the attempting to recoup his signing bonus from last season. In the end, it was a fair exchange for Marshawn's rights. We moved up into the 5th round, when alternatively, we would have received nothing.
