It's $30m again next year as well

He is not actually getting paid 30m. His actual salary is only a fraction of that. The rest is cap charge for all the signing bonuses he's already gotten over the years. I would speculate that his actual pay is less than 10m.

Yeah Fitt backloaded the contract, base is like $14m. Still $30m cap hit both years regardless of whether it's base or bonuses

Would not make sense to move on from him this year. It saves a little over 17 mil next year if we walk away from him at that time. Maybe if our offensive line looks better this year they can throw 5-7mil at Brady in an extension the. Use the other 10 million to address another position of need.  Would love to keep him long term if we could lower that hit down to about 20mil a year. Plenty of tackles seem to be doing well into their mid 30’s.

Yes. I thought it was up after this season. The point still remains that doing anything to it now only makes it worse not better. 

Agreed and saw someone who addressed it so changed to my initial thoughts.

A paycut? That would just ultimately create another hole, and possibly a hole that takes seasons to fill with a player that's comparable. Perhaps we can sign him to something more reasonable next season. He's now the 15th highest paid OT. Keep in mind that he only allowed one sack last season.

Most of those are LTs, I just never been a huge moton supporter. I view him as the 10-16th best RT, but he's never missed any games that I can recall and very solid though out his career. Plus he never could make the switch to LT. I've never been in his corner, but glad for him locking down the RT spot(just believe it should be at 13th RT rate, but far more pressing issues...)

Honestly this draft maybe the right time to draft his replacement, if not for the many other needs/holes/wants. Maybe Ricky Lee can pull it off, they carried him on the roster for a reason. Looking at numbers, it does seem could be "set". Chirst is another player to think about too.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
