It's not stupid if you don't believe he can stay on the field. They just paid him $23M to miss 80 percent of the season. I don't think they want to do that again just for the off chance they might acquire a compensation pick or recoup his trade value if he decides to stay. If Donaldson has health questions teams aren't going to be lining up to offer him multiyear deals. Hes going to be 33 years old with his best years behind him.
