Having said that I do think we should trade Boyd because it would save 8.89 million in cap space plus we get some sort of draft pick or another player to help the team.  I like Boyd, I just think we would be better served getting something of value for him and freeing up cap space.  He is a free agent after next season anyway

I dunno, Boyd doesn't cost a crazy amount of money nowadays for WRs, and we just saw two offseasons ago when Chiefs traded 31st overall plus 3rd rounder, 4th rounder, and the following year's 5th rounder for Orlando Brown and Ravens' 2nd rounder and following year's 6th rounder.
Brown played on the 5th year option cost in 2021, and then the Chiefs tagged him for this past season.
That's a lot of draft capital to give up for someone in the final year of their contract.

I think conservatively though Boyd would fetch a 3rd rounder, perhaps a 2nd rounder.
