Mayer and Dewand Jones in the first would be dream scenario!

Boyd plus our first round pick.

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

See above.

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.

See above.
