Boyd's catches were more limited by Burrows time in pocket than by his own ability. Give Burrow a tick more and we've got three 1000 yard receivers. There is plenty of cap space to improve the Oline without cutting major contributors.
I'm going to call this this your "Let's go Brandon" strategy since you're obviously pining for another Brandon Tate or Brandon LaFell.
I go with the proven path ala Brady. Great QB, great protection get a couple go to guys and fill in everywhere else. Joe will eventually take up $40-50M of cap space.
Not sure why you are ok taking the chance with an average line and a $10M slot who is rarely the 3rd option over the best protection possible for Joe with Chase, Higgins and Mixon?
