There are incentives to trading for Amari, too.
He has 3 years left on his current contract with no guaranteed money past year one…so you could trade a late rounder for him and essentially get a 1 year try out and cut him if it doesn’t work out or restructure the deal so the first year cap hit is minimal and then sign an extension after year one that gives the team his services for 2 years at a cheap rate. Lots of flexibility in directions to go.
I know a lot of posters (this, pest, etc) might not like this idea, but if I’m in charge, I’m trying my best to assemble the best offense ever fielded while we have the window open with Andy and Kelce both at the top of their game to try to push all the chips in to win another Super Bowl or 2 and offset with the rising cap hits with draft picks and low dollar free agents.
I’d send Dallas a 2023 5th rounder for Amari and restructure his 20m 2022 cap hit while also signing Tyreek to a 5 year extension with lower cap hits the first 2 years, as well. You do those things while locking up Brown. At that point, every other resource you have in cap and draft picks can be allocated towards building a long-standing talented defense.
Mahomes
Kelce
Hill
Cooper
Fortson
Gray
Hardman
Clyde
Honestly, I don’t care how popular it is, this offense has a defined window before Kelce loses a step and Andy retires. Let them go out with a huge bang and another couple rings.

We had a very good offense and an 18 point lead and we still ****ed it up.
If we have learned anything it’s that we need a well rounded team. That’s how we won the Super Bowl 2 years ago.
I would love Cooper on a deal, but I’m not paying him a ton. No way. I’m using that money on a legit pass rusher and bringing Ward back so we can build this team to be talented everywhere.
This WR and DE class looks incredibly good. Take a talented fast WR and plug his ass in as the #3 option day 1. Then take a DE in rd 2 and stock your pass rusher with excellent talented rushers both as starters and off the bench.
