Now, I don't know he would have taken it, but generally players don't walk away from new deals that are given 2 years early and make them the highest paid players at their position.
They could have made this work.

Yep. They chose to spend on other players and positions. I can't say with any certainty that paying Mario results in more wins this year, like I said, it was a choice they made for better or worse. But I can say they voluntarily let a really good edge rusher walk and have been completely terrible at that position ever since.
