Player Signing Patriots To Add OT Riley Reiff

[Ochmed Jones]

byu’s freeland and Michigan’s Myers! We should draft those two this year!!!!!! The veteran retreads are not the answer

 

[Tunescribe]

your "friend"? I didn't know she was a Bears fan...

 

[hornetfb85]

reiff sounds like the exact kind of guy you want in camp when you draft a young tackle

[long distance]

Kraft is big on charity so he must be pleased

 

[Hammer of Thor]

All that guaranteed money means this is a guy they expect to make the team.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Not just make the team, they may be expecting him to start ?

Based on that contract, it reads to me like he is competing to start and at minimum be the primary backup, and if he is the starter, he'll make around $8M instead of $4M.

The fact that it's only a 1 year deal makes me wonder if they intend to replace him with a drafted rookie by 2024 but want him available as the starter in 2023, or at least part of 2023 if that drafted player is ready to start by mid-season.

Calvin Anderson is the swing tackle, so McDermott is probably just a camp body at that point. Left tackle is still a bit of a question mark.

Thats the vibe im getting, proven stopgap option. Maybe theyre eyeing cb or wr with #14 and taking a project ot later

They can still get a solid RT prospect on day 2 and I think this approach would probably be fine. However, I don't know if Trent Brown is the answer at LT. Maybe for 1 more year. If Cincinnati moves on from La'el Collins now that they've added Orlando Brown Jr, maybe that's worth a look.

What a ****ing HORRIBLE ****ing Complete ****ing Waste of ****ing money.

You just don't think very highly of the Left Tackle position, do you?

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

You’re really taking advantage of the no censor thing aren’t you lol

This makes no sense at all.

5mill/1 year, as reported.
4.15m guaranteed (please tell me that's a typo)
750k in-game...which puts you near the 5...
because there can't be $4m in playtime incentives, can there?

4.15 guaranteed???
Ouch...double ouch.

up to 9 Million contract

With that deal he is absolutely making the team.

Hes a quality swing tackle. I wouldn't want him playing 1000 snaps but hes not being paid to.

With that deal, he possibly pocket 3large and retire.
