IMO, no.
The only benefit you get by paying him for one more year is to save $1.5 million in cap space in 2021-22. What that costs you, however, is $3 million extra this year, and you have a bad player dragging the roster down.
Almost literally the only argument for keeping Brouwer this year is that ownership would rather pay the guy to suck than pay him to go away.
