With both tackles, both safeties, and both starting WRs in the last year of their deals, I can see next offseason resulting in even more/better additional picks than this year's draft.

I waited to see if someone else was going to mention it. You win! (Rep)

If Andre plays well this season and is not re-signed he is likely the highest compensatory pick in 2017 (3rd rounder) that is available based his dollars.

To give him up this year for the same thing, only one season sooner, but lose your starting RT would be ludicrous IMHO. It isn't that I don't like scenarios where you look for unconventional ways to help the team, but I just don't see it here. He is in his contract year. Ride the wave of his desire to get a fat (sorry, Andre) contract elsewhere next season.
