So,
1) Deal him.
2) Extend him.
3) Keep him for one year.  

Extending him is probably out of the question, because of the cost.  So what would we get in a trade?  Keep in mind, whoever trades for him would have the same alternatives we have- extend him, or keep him for one year.   So I would guess in a trade we might get a 3rd round pick.  

So, what do you want, 10 sacks in 2019 and then he's gone, or a 3rd round pick?

Give me option A.

This is a team close to the Super Bowl.  His presence on the roster could help us get there.  He had two sacks against the Patriots in the AFC title game, and now they are without Nate Solder.  He could be huge against the Patriots here in week 2, and more important should Campell and/or Ngakoue get hurt.

If he leaves as a UFA, we could get a compensatory pick for him as high as a 3rd round pick, anyway.

But how much longer do we keep a 32 year old Calais Campbell?
