This shows that the Seahawks would have a legitimate shot at a 4th or even 3rd round draft pick if Drew Lock can sign for more than $20 million per year next offseason. That number is very realistic for Lock after his performance over the last two games.

Positive signalValue

Lock's free agency value likely exceeds trade value; expect 3rd-4th round comp pick.

Lock is likely to command a 3rd or 4th round compensatory pick in free agency next offseason if he signs for more than $20 million per year, which is realistic based on his recent performance. Comparable backup QB contracts: Malik Willis signed with Miami at $22.5M/year average; Jacoby Brissett signed with Arizona at $15.5M/year average. Lock at 29 years old is closer in age to Willis (27) than Brissett (33), suggesting his contract could trend toward Willis's deal. The Seahawks would get better compensatory value by letting Lock walk in free agency than by trading him mid-season for an early day-three pick.
