I think the team would be better off getting him to opt into his $11.6mm and then doing an extension that overpays in the out years.. It is close, but I think you can trade Powell and S&T Hardaway and get to the $26.8mm match number for GA and retain Maxi.
This would be a great path forward if possible. But isn't there a limit to extensions where you can only give 120% of the previous year's salary? It seems difficult to overpay him enough in the extension years to make it worth opting into only $11.6mm.
