If it only takes a 3rd or 4th round pick, it won’t hurt to look into acquiring Budda. He’d improve our secondary a lot against the run and open field tackling, limiting YAC. Khai and Mickey can make the cap work and redo the deal.
Tyrann’s turning 31, and Maye only has another season left on his deal. I could see Maye going into a reserve role while still getting plenty of snaps as the 3rd safety if we somehow got Budda.
I can’t imagine us putting Maye in a reserve role while paying him $7.4m this year (9th highest on team In 2023). Both Mathieu‘s and Maye’s dead money make them hard to move off the roster until their contracts expire in 2025.
