Absolute steal for TB on Barrett. Big hometown discount. When you think Trey Flowers got 5 years $90m...

Wynn was project as a guard coming into the NFL by a lot of experts.

Pundits who only looked at his size and dismissed him said that. Actual experts said he was the best tackle in that class.

Another IOL off the market: Market clearly isn't as robust as thought.

Unexpected turn - maybe Thuney to NE not a single unrealistic as I once thought.

 

[DaBruinz]

He could be, but Trent Brown is a pure LT. Why did they trade for him to have two starting LTs and no LG? I could see them moving Wynn to RT rather than LG. I just cannot see Brown going to RT.

Trent Brown isn't a "pure LT". He played RT almost exclusively for the Raiders.

Elflein is considered horrible

That is an overpay for the Panthers

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Can we actually bring Thuney back at 12-13 mil?

4/60 with a bunch of guaranteed money probably gets it done. But is it the best use of cap room?

 

[HailHydra]

Can we actually bring Thuney back at 12-13 mil?

It would be nowhere close to 12-13 mill. There are way too money teams involved and this would immediately become a bidding war. He's likelier to earn 16 mill with teams like the Jets and Bengals involved compared to 12 mill.

He's gone

 

[WeezyFbaby]

Boring, stop boring us with boredom

 

[venecol]

Damn. I'm sure the cap hit the first year or two is team friendly to boot. Team is basically intact from last year, bad news for the NFC. They weren't even firing on all cylinders until the playoffs.

What's amazing is Tampa started the offseason with about $13M over the cap and were soon at -$4M under. Now they've brought back the top 3 FAs (Barrett, Godwin, David) with contracts averaging $45M/yr. Like how TF did they do it?

Are you aware that Brown has only ever played LT the year he was here? Was all RT in SF, LV.

he also grades/ranks well below Thuney, no?

maybe I am wrong. I thought he played LT his entire career.

 

[NYCPATS4LIFE]

Reported the 2021 cap hit is only 5.6 million.

36 milion of the 72 is only guaranteed. Frankly it’s a sweet deal for the Bucs.

probably doing what they did with brady......two years of low cap hits, all backloaded into the final years

they have a 2 year projected window, and they are going for it

 

[DaBruinz]

Rather have Andrews at a lesser price and invest the money in offensive talent.

I wouldn't.. Andrews isn't a top 10 center. Thuney has the ability to be a top 3. Huge difference between the two.
