have to pay him in 2019, and give him an unrealistic extension for 2020 and then make a trade with NYG for their Center or an OT.

You can't trade that type of contract 1 year in. I think OBJ had a $20M signing bonus. If we give MT anything close to that we'd be looking at a $16M cap hit in 2020 when he won't even be on the team.

Also, we may actually have some solid depth at the center position w Easton & McCoy; plus they can both play guard
