re: I think we’ll look back at McKinstry as a great pick

he's in his prime, prolly will be for the next 2 - 4 years. i think he's gone post june 1st because of his cap next year. we'd save over 10mil on the 2025 cap by trading him. i'd rather keep him, top 5 cb in the nfl and prolly the best cb the organization has ever had.

And if you are not competing for a SB in the next 2-4 years, you probably should be looking to get some assets now rather than wait until he's on the backend and you are overpaying on an aging contract.

I agree that I would prefer to have him on our team, but at the same time hard decisions need to be made to fix the mess we are in. Plus, him having a high ankle sprain that sidelined him for almost 1/2 the season makes me think his prime windows are starting to close and it's closer to 1-2 years than it is 2-4 years.
