Not talking a real extension. Talking basically about buying a little cap space and it being more of a retainer that can be revisited. 

That is still wasted money. Just cut him if you cannot play him at LT. He is no longer in the future plans as far as im concerned.

If you plan on making him a guard are you going to extend him when you don't know if he can play that position?

It makes no sense to try to rework a contract on a big man with this injury when you can just cut him and have all of the cap savings to use on your new rookie LOT and another position of need.

I am talking about a token payment of as little as possible base for 2027 just to keep him tethered. They waste the kind of money I’m talking several times every year, it is inconsequential. 2-3 million. The real money would come in incentives only after he met them. In which case, he will have earned it. 
Or we just pay him 17.4 million for nothing and we are in the same no man’s land at the end of the year. 
 

Believe me it would be team friendly until he hit the escalators. The timing of this sucked and calls for being creative or sucking it up and plan on him moving on. 
 

I am not looking at him being a guard as any kind of given. They need feet too. They need push too.

I think with an injury settlement you recoup some or quite a bit of the salary and salary cap.  Snow or someone else may be up on injury settlements.  I’m just playing through…

If that’s how it has to go, okay. I am good with a new LOT anyway. But his 5th, all 5th year, the money is guaranteed. I def don’t know how you can settle for less when talking guaranteed.

Raiders doing Raiders things

The Raiders are trading star edge Maxx Crosby to the Ravens (getting two first round picks?!?)

Crosby probably wanted out and wants a real shot at winning. That ain't happening in Vegas. They've been dysfunctional for a while. Playing in Vegas is playing for a paycheck. As a competitor, you gotta want more.

Bills re-signed G/C Connor McGovern to a four-year, $52 million contract.
McGovern has been a mainstay on the interior offensive line for the Bills for the previous three seasons, with the new contract tying him to the franchise through the 2029 season. Long hailed as one of the top pass blocking centers in the league, McGovern will continue to provide protection for 2024’s MVP in Josh Allen

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      I still think another QB is brought in Day 3. Grier is camp body level at this point.

      We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.
