I mean I assume it would come down to who pays what on his contract. 12.6M isn't bad for a starting LT but he is coming off a down year with an expiring deal. Would the team he's traded to assume the full amount? If so a 4th sounds about right.
Ideally, that would free you up to sign a starting RT if the high rates take a dive, but instead you could go back to Gardner-Johnson, or another position like TE. That or what I really want is to see them front load an extension to a guy like Reader. Pull the money forward to keep him 2 more years.
Give me an extra 4th, keep Reader a little longer and if RT is still in play for the draft so be it.
