The mistake you are making is thinking Lyons is a fringe player.
He has been lowballed because we know we need to lose a player and unfortunately we have too many of his type. He wants to stay and lowballing him is our only leverage.
He was a regular 22 player in a side that finished 6th, we aren't talking about a guy who came in and out of the side or is coming from a bottom team.
You need to have a look at his stats for the year, they were quite good and he also knows how to kick a goal.
He would easily finish in the top 10 of your B&F and figure highly.
Add that to a quality player you could pick up at 13 and you guys aren't being lowballed.

You are getting more guarantees than you are giving up.
