26m per year. Here’s our Icky comp. Cross is more pass pro proficient than Icky is. If we get close our oline will be close to 90m plus whatever we do at the center position. That’s a whole lot of dough for those big boys up front.

Icky just got expensive

I’d be happy to pay Ickey, as long as it’s not a record setting deal that’s probably a win. I’m not sure what leverage they’ll have and I don’t think you can replace him easily. 

[Moonraker]

I think you have to pay him. Best we've had in a LONG time. 

[Aussie Tank]

Cross is better IMO 

[Chief Keek]

Pay that man, Ickey's extension shouldn't even be a debate.

I'd honestly be happy paying Icky 25 mill/yr for 4 years. Guy gets a lot of hate, but he has been a good LT for us.

And it's not his fault that our brain dead coach never wants to run off tackle to the left and let him pancake people...

[SmokinwithWilly]

No issues with an extension here. Pay tackles, draft guards and centers. 

[WarPanthers89]

We haven’t had to even mention LT as a problem for years now. Don’t overthink it and pay the man asap 

[hepcat]

Icky is good enough to re-sign. Really not a debate.

We got to pay Ickey, he had a good year and has improved. No need to shoot ourselves in the foot here. We can likely shed Moton & his contract soon which makes me sad to say. We can also look at restructuring Hunt's contract too. There's options but Ickey must be paid.

Cross is the 3rd highest so Ikey should garner a top 5-10 deal.

That should be $20.5-25 mil/yr AAV.

That is fine. Technically it would be around the same as Moton, who has a top 5 RT contract at $22 mil/yr AAV.

If Ikey garners a $25 mil AAV deal then next year the AAV of our OL would be $80.25 mil without the center. 

I will say, the amount of money we have spent on the OL will be absurd if we don't finish in the top 10 in either rushing yards or sacks allowed from 2026 onward.

Pay the man and then start drafting C/G

Its ALWAYS a record setting contract.
