As I mentioned though, it's a fine line to straddle. You don't want to take that out of Joe's game, but there were plays where he had time and took a sack looking for the big play when he had options that were open. Including Tyler Boyd. If we were to sign a player better than the depth behind Tyler, or draft one, I think it would be a much more viable scenario. Or, if a team were to offer us an upper tier OL for him, then yeah, pull the trigger. Otherwise, I'd keep him at least this season.
Good point. I think we over value Tyler due to his play prior to the other 2 guys arrival. We dont need a WR3 to be as talented or experienced as him if the oline is working well. We need to find places to save money and in my opinion that is WR3, TE and RB - Mixon's contract is such that he will be here 2 more seasons then cut or whatever in 2024. Which I believe puts more emphasis on saving on the other 2 and investing in the oline.
Keeping Boyd one more season decreases his value for trade in my opinion as he would only have one season left on his contract. He is at his highest value now with 2. This was all hypothetical and Boyd isnt going anywhere, we are not the Patriots we will never be that cut throat thirsty for rings. We have always kept players too long in my opinion unless they are excellent linemen.
