Yeah it's hard, that price is not ideal for your fifth best starting Olineman. If it was cheaper I'd resign him. But at that price just reduce Tyron Smith's salary and draft a dude somewhere. You can't resign every first/second/third rounder. The fact that he got that much money at least tells you he wasn't a bust.
Yep, I wanted him back for about $5M, maybe $6M/year, but $8M is way too much for me even if the plan was to make him the starter at LG indefinitely, and of course that isn't even the plan since our ideal starting lineup is likely Tyron-Tyler-Biadasz-Martin-Steele.
My only issue with this is that Farniok better be ready to start half a season or more. Odds are good Tyron won't make more starts than that.
Or the plan is to draft someone like Avila in the 2nd, which I'd love.
I would love that. I think him and Tyler on the left side would be beastly. Throw in a big back to run behind them and maybe we can bully people.
I'm ok not spending that on McGovern but we should be using those savings to sign a legit impact player. Instead we will do nothing and claim it's all Daks fault. Meanwhile 26 mil of our cap is being eaten up at RB to make it look like we don't have much room.
The thing is that the Bills were proactive and gave Allen a longer-term deal so they could have more cap flexibility, hopefully dumbass Stephen has figured out how to manage something like that by now.
I mean if he was a stud he would be getting more money than that. But you can't tell me a guy getting almost 8 mil is a bust. Other NFL teams obviously view him as a starter so he must have done something right in Dallas. Solid starter or average starter isn't a bad pick in the third round. Not saying it was a home run. Obviously it wasn't.
Dak still only counts 20 some mil against our cap. His number still hasn't been that high. It's all a fucking illusion. Dak has zero to do with our lack of activity in free agency. 26 mil for RB sitting on our books right now is a much bigger reason. And that's by choice for these dumbasses.
Book that. Tyler will be at LT , and then what?
Yeah, he def was eyeing a second big contract .
Cutting Smith in order to keep McGovern would be 100% for money reasons and exactly how you make your team worse.
I liked Farniok in preseason. I don't know if he is that far behind McGovern from last year.
