Biiiig upside here. Let’s go.

Huge injury risk. Between that and Onwenu in his year wouldn’t be surprised to see an OG drafted fairly highly (day 1 or 2).

3 year deal. I think he’s a starter at LG. We have Ben Brown as a good insurance policy.

Better run him through a contamination chamber before he sets foot in the building.

Pats ****ing scooped someone again lmao. He was supposedly signed by the Giants at like 2 PM…

Of course he’ll start but they need a good backup and the rookie can step in for Onwenu next year. Ben Brown isn’t a viable starter if they played Wilson at LG over him last year and Bradbury at center. That tells you the level he is. Should be the backup to backup inside.

I’m thinking that may have been a rare Rickey Scoops miss.

This OL is only a draft pick away from solidifying. Grab Blake Miller and you're good to go.

Waiting to hear what the money is

I’m there too. Spend a pick in the first few rounds on the eventual Morgan Moses replacement. Find a Lowe replacement (Jedrick Willis?) and we’re golden.

This is huge. More important than WR

ProBowl caliber if he could play a whole season.

I thought he did well. I actually though he outplayed Wilson. I think Vrable stayed with Wilson and took his ick whilde he developed..

great signing.

It’s also good that they extended Ben Brown, so if AVT continues to miss some games due to injury annually, Brown can step in as a spot starter at LG and be fine.

Having said that, they’ll probably want to draft another guard this year or next year in the middle rounds to develop and compete to have good depth. Onwenu may end up needing replacing in 2027 as well if he is not extended. I might be more inclined to target right tackle first though.

Agree about Brown. I’m still holding out hope Bryant will develop at RT.

I’ve always wanted to see a double dip at guard, drafting a rookie prospect to go with an established FA signing. We are halfway there.

With Munford as LT backup, and Wallace as camp competition, I think the above would have our OL in much better shape going into next season. Throw in Wills or possibly Jenkins from GB and things get even better.

Numbers are in. Definitely real money given here.
