This is the way.

Why would you pay Seattle if you already protected Gio?
Anyway, exposing Gio, having him taken, and having another $6.75M to spend on a UFA is a re-arming, not a rebuilding. Then sign Gio to an extension at 38-39 if you really want to.
The only reason you protect Gio is sentiment.
