Can a plea bargain be offered/accepted, after a conviction, in lieu of an appeal?

As in, if Chauvin is convicted and he wants to file an appeal based on the issues voiced by his attorney, can the state instead offer a plea deal to avoid another trial?

My thoughts are, if Chauvin is paying for his own defense, another trial would be so expensive. Plus, unless he requested a directed verdict, the odds of finding another jury might just be near impossible.

And I know, I'm getting a bit ahead of the situation but my brain is spinning.

1. A plea can be reached during deliberations, but not

after the jury has reached a verdict. Too late.

That is my understanding.

2. After a mistrial, yes. After a conviction (once verdict read), no.

3. Simply, No.

Can't happen.
