Just stop right there. No need to discuss further because the entire basis for this conversation is way off.
If, IF, you could get Tremaine to re-sign at $11M/year, you do that immediately because that is a half-off discount on the $20M/year he is actually going to sign for.
I want to know which "analyst" came up with that $11 number considering it would be a PAY CUT from what he made in 2022. And I dont ever recall a top Free Agent taking a pay cut when they hit the market.
Tremaine's real numbers are more like 4/$80M. And I'd still re-sign him over a FA OT.
Now, if you want to talk about a FA OG like Issac Seumalo or Ben Powers who will likely sign for far less the Edmunds or an OT, then I'm all for that discussion.
Agreed. Upgrades at the Guard spots will improve both the Interior line play AND our Tackle play.
Upgrading a Tackle will not have nearly as much bang for the buck.
