A little pricey . . . with "up to" likely being the key words.

Otherwise known as 2020’s highest paid OT in the NFL

I thinks so as well. Wasn‘t DT‘s Contract also worth „up to“ 6 Million but in the end the cap hit was/is way lower?

 

[Deus Irae]

This will likely end the team's search for OL, other than camp bodies.

Oh wow. Was expecting vet min, not a DT-type deal. I hope this doesn't mean they're down on Wynn; I still think he'll slide into the LT spot no problem.

Unless he retires prior to t-camp. We haven't had one of those in a few years
Italics = joking

Is the "italics = joking" part a joke since it's italicized?

There goes my contradiction. I was gonna use it to prove something by explosion.

We can definitely use the depth here.

 

[Love The Drake]

It's up to 6 Mill I'm sure that contract has alot of clauses and outs.

I guarantee it’s not 1 year 6.5 straight up without incentives.

Suspect it is about both options & insurance. Cannon and Veldheer being able to play either side gives them the kind of flexibility BB and Scar love.

To potentially protect the GOAT's blindside. Not payment, an investment!

 

[RobertWeathers]

32 years old. Oft injured last few years. Depth signing. If he plays a lot that means Wynn and Cajuste aren't ready which would kinda suck.

 

[BobDigital]

Well we will see how it goes. I hope he just cost 3-3.5M and rides the bench.

 

[Froob]

I imagine he has to win league MVP to get that money. Really like this signing from what I've heard about him, we could use a quality vet tackle. You can't have a bad tackle starting in the playoffs if you want to win the Super Bowl, feeling a lot better having some more depth there.

 

[FortressX]

Once signed a roster move will be needed.

 

[50-yard-line]

I hope it's structured so that they can still get Allen Bailey, BUT...this was the more important signing.
