Would you guys want to re-sign Dawkins at the 15 mill a year price tag?

Dawkins ranks in the upper half of LT's in the NFL for sure and it is going to cost 15 mill a year to keep him................

 

Question is?????

 

Is it a wise decision to keep him at this rate?

 

I say it's a big yes, but I think a lot of you might feel differently.

 

What do you think?

The market is just going to keep increasing as with anything else. I'm fine with 5 years $70,000,000-$75,000,000 in total with $45,000,000-$50,000,000 of that being guaranteed. I just hope they get the deal done sooner rather than later as the price tag will continue to go up.

Good point, the sooner the better, money wise.

Yes. I was sceptical before the year. I was unconvinced at the quarter pole. I thought he had his best, most consistent period as a Bill from the bye onwards. I'd pay the man. Again the CBA issue makes an extension this year tricky, but because (unlike Tre White) you don't have a means of keeping him next year without the contract extension (save for the tag) so I think you have to bite the bullet.

Eh.  I’ve maintained no, but I also haven’t broken down any of his film this year.  I think we’re going to resign him because he’s been playing his cards right/seems like a great guy.  
 

Just seems to me he gets beat on plays we have to have

Dawkins is everything you want out of a player in the locker room and off the field.
I think if Beane can find him a constant solid left guard to play beside, Dawkins will be a solid to good LT for years to come. It’s not coincidence that Dawkins disappointing season came when the entire line was in shambles. 
 

Yes, pay him and move on.
