Why Not?

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.

I would agree with just about all of this. It's been mentioned, but if Tee or Ja'Marr were to get hurt, Tyler becomes a lot more valuable to the team. However, your point stands, and you can't base this stuff off of hypothetical scenarios. As I mentioned in my first reply in this thread, I'm all for it, so long as the return is worth it, and we find a comparable player to replace Boyd. Morgan, Mike Thomas, etc are not that player. If the line gets fixed, Mixon may start being one of our main threats. Offensively speaking, I would agree that those three positions are the most expendable.
