Since this is a transparent team now looking forward to hearing more from Wolf and Mayo. Maybe not the best idea to sign guys who left their last team with attitude problems and without the talent to make up for it.

So…do they get the cap money back?

Not a ton but still.

Team just got better.

A lot of us hated this signing when it was announced. For a few $M more we could have signed an older, much more talented one year tackle that did not quit on his team last year. It is not complicated. Too bad the Pats are so obsessed with saving money for the 2025 cap.

Odd. Is this at all fit in with whatever happened in Pitt last year too?

Can't read Twitter/X since I live in a dictatorial state where a Supreme Court Judge just blocked X because he is in a fight with Elon Musk

One year, 4m deal... Whatever the hit if there is one, it is minimal and is off the books after this season...

I liked this signing. Reminded me of Trent Brown with his issues and he had a great season with us. I don’t mind them taking chances.

Yeah, clearly something different about this guy than an average football player. Might be a problem, might just be a different set of values. We certainly can't tell from here, with the info we've got.

After QB, OT was our biggest need. This just underscores the teams’ weak efforts to address this need. Still a mystery.

Yes, the OL got better.

We added Jordan as a backup guard and lost Chucks. We now have ONLY 4 OT's (counting Thomas as a RG).

The team still has decisions and work to do on the OL this year and next. For example, we need to decide whether to upgrade Leverett, our backup center.

Chuks was a RT and never transitioned well to LT. Some guys can do it; others can't.
