WTS: Seumalo wouldn't "sweeten the deal"; I'd make it worse. The dude's a backup IOL that carries a $7.8 MIL Cap.
IMO the 2nd rounder and the $13 MIL cap savings would be enough.
Sign Landon Collins for about $5 Mil, bring in Spain or Flowers for about $3 Mil, and use the other $5 Mil to bring in a pure Edge rusher {Tak, Houston...). We're now a better team and have a extra second rounder
Some good takes in the thread, this is more theoretical than them actually doing it. It would be nice to get ahead of the situation but maybe not realistic. The league sees the same up and down Jessie, so giving up a high pick in order to pay him to 5 money is more of a pressure draft move.
I would have liked to have signed Bradberry long term, starting Hill and Taylor-Britt easing into a hybrid role or on some TE's. I get the scenio of re-routing assets but there are a lot of moving parts. Collins isn't the CF type needed, and the stopgap FA safeties are rough. Better to trade a late pick for a stopgap FS and use the high pick in a deal for the best value at another position. The tag is low for TE's, so I'd look at tagged TE's or more likely a good one on an expiring deal that will likely need tagged. Then you still have a little left to get your vet OL and pass rusher.
