Trading Tyreek got back multiple high value picks and freed up cash, there was a clear path to the team being better overall if he was traded.
Trading McDuffie makes no sense now, he won't be expensive next year and you aren't getting multiple high value picks back. You'd basically be trading an elite player for a pick and hoping that pick you got turned into an elite player so you break even, as a best case scenario.
Tagging and trading AFTER his rookie deal is over might make more sense, depending on how the team looks a further year down the line, but even then, he would be leaving at the same time as lots of other DBs contracts expire so that would be a lot of turnover.
