Looks like the extension could create $10M in cap space for 2021, + the current cap space of $9,894,349, - Rookie pool requirement of $5,705,097 = $14,189,252

So no, just HB's extension alone would not get it done. There would have to be other adjustments made elsewhere prior to it becoming official on 6/2/2021. Kelce and Jones restructures would be candidates.
Not too mention you always wanna leave yourself a little wiggle room and Veach normally does for a late season FA pick up (if one becomes available he wants).

Just too many reasons not to do a trade for Julio, as fun as it might be to see him catching passes from Mahomes.
