What makes you confident that Sage could lead us to the playoffs? He's a turnover machine.
Further, if a team can't move its back-up QB for a draft pick then it's not in the position to be talking playoffs.
Fact is, Sage only has one year left on his contract, so if you can get a draft pick for him, you take a draft pick for him. You could replace him with Nall or a veteran like Losman or Boller. But, it's just not economical to hang onto a back-up just in case your starter gets hurt.
