First, the pretty big effort spent corralling Rick's group into that clearing. How was it even possible, really, and was it worth that effort? All those trees? Chained together walkers?
Second, how does keeping Rick and the group alive make any sense? They have killed 50+ of your group. They have demolished you at every encounter. They are a legit threat, and you want to co-opt them so they work for you?
I get the whole serfdom thing. Take over other groups, kill a few people and scare them, and then take what they produce. Makes sense for a group like Hilltop, with spineless Gregory in charge. But Rick's group? They are fucking commandos, hardened killers that have beaten your army every time they've come in contact to date. Why would you keep them alive to work for you?
Surely, the wise choice is you just kill the leadership and take over Alexandria - the place itself is reward enough. But to keep Rick alive and expect he'll just fall in line like everyone else? Seems too stupid for Negan - a man who has created a post apocalyptic nation.
