Not going anywhere in '26, but 2027 is the out spot. Save 14 mil in '27, 18 mil in '28. 

The contracts are big, but there's outs with him and Lewis both, with Lewis's out starting this year if you want to save 9 mil (but, no). Tillis did his job on these and gave flexibility. Biggest issue right now is who are we replacing them with, which means the '26 and '27 drafts better have some legit OL picks. 

They can realistically pick up future interior linemen on day 3. They have 1 pick in the 4th and 2 picks in the 5th. Prime time to pick up quality drops at interior oline. Grab another starter level guard or two in FA. Like old vets on a one year deal.

Lewis is the one to keep, IMO. He is elite across the board. Hunt is an elite rush blocker but maybe above average in pass pro.

We need to get serious about drafting a lot of OL. This should have been happening the whole time.

Dude should have never been in that game in all honesty.

I was genuinely pissed when it happened. We have too much invested in that guy to jeopardized his future here. Especially down BC and Ikey for likely most or all of next season.

Thirty years as a NFL team and we've made the playoffs 9 times.  I don't want to waste any chance of winning a Superbowl.  If the doctors say he is fine to play and Robert wants to play I don't see any issues.

I'd also want to know the extent of what information doctors and the team had when making the decision to allow him to continue playing.  I'm not a doctor.  I don't know how much, if any, he was jeopardizing his future career.  I don't like guys playing with significant injuries but it's the NFL.  I think it would be difficult to find a player who has not played through injury.  That's one of the reason I hated extending the season and not playing on grass.  

Other players in the NFL have played with an injured pectoral muscle such as TJ Watt and notably Chris Spielman who played an entire season with a torn pec.

Dude, really? A 8-9 team was going to win the Super Bowl?  If we were the Seahawks or Patriots, I would get it.  All we did was weaken our roster for next season on what was CLEARLY a futile effort in the playoffs.

Troubling. Probably over compensating for that bicep or protecting it

exactly why I didnt think he shouldve played.

All teams are 0-0 once the playoffs start.

If that was a futile effort then someone forgot to tell the team and I'm sure the Rams would disagree.  NFL is a parity league which is one of the things that make it so exciting.  Any given Sunday.

So many things change, so many uncontrollable variables that you have to take advantage of every opportunity. There are guys who went to the playoffs their rookie year and then never make it back.  We haven't been since 2017 before this year.

Yup and we went 0-1, which was the likely outcome all along.  Even if we did win somehow, we lost two O-linemen, Horn and would have got smoked on the road.  This was clearly not our year.  Ask Harbaugh, Tomlin and McDermott about just making the playoffs without advancing or advancing far enough.  This is a win or go home tournament, clearly not for teams that could barley win back-back games the entire season or a for a squad that can't seem to put games away convincingly.  We were dangling by a thread all season long, obviously not a recipe for a SB run.

It's a parity league.  The underdog wins 30-40% of the time.  Teams cover the spread around 50% of the time which means close games.

The "likely" outcome isn't as likely as it seems in the NFL, especially in the playoffs.  

That game was one of the most electric and exciting playoffs games we've ever been in and Bank of America stadium was jacked.  I love that this young team got to experience that.  Easy to say it wasn't worth it or a team had no chance after the fact. 

You don't wait for the cards to get stacked in your favor to try and make a playoff run or win a Superbowl.
