When you have an elite QB, your window is always open. We need the draft capital to keep restocking the roster as it ages. The last two drafts are looking pretty good so far.

This. Joe won 4 with completely different teams, Brady also. But other key pieces like TW, Bosa, Kittle and Juice will ALL need to be addressed very soon to keep a legitimate window open. Purdy has proven he can do it with just about any WR.
Personally, I'm eying the defense. I can see Bosa kind of getting injured more than I'd like, and there are some (what it looks like) some excellent pass rushers/defensive ends in the 2027 draft. I'd love it if they can convert Mac (who's sitting on the bench and not contributing - in a sense because he's basically insurance) into draft capital for 2027. Now of course the risk is Brock getting hurt and we'll need a QB that can at least get us into the playoffs. Having Mac will be a must if that's the case, and ultimately that's what my gut says.
I don't think they are going to trade Mac. But man o man if we can get some draft capital to move up in 2027 and have a shot at some of those top notch players - my mind says it's worth the risk.
