You're getting a new 3T and a new NT for $10m/yr? Who? Rankins was $12.5m/yr on his own and he isn't the answer.

You would need another WR because Tee can't play a full starter's workload. Never has and probably never will. He peaked at 74.81% of the snaps in 2020. Then 64.60%, 68.38%, 52.67%, and so far this year he's already missed 2 whole games.

So really the question is do you want...
-All-Pro caliber #1 WR
or
-Unreliable lower-end #1 WR (and a much shittier backup WR playing instead 1/3rd+ of the time) + $10m/yr + 1st rd pick + 2nd rd pick (and ~$5.8m/yr of that $10m/yr would be used up by your draft picks, so you're only really freeing up roughly $4.2m/yr)
