The problem is we would need 2 tackles as Castonzo is probably done. Might need 2 anyway as they might not be able to keep Smith when his contract is up. Kelly already got paid and Nelson is going to be the highest paid guard ever. Not sure they can devote that much money to OLine and keep Smith.

Do you know why its better to pay OT than guards? Its because its a passing league. If you cant pass pro on the edges against the best D players (DEs), who cares what you have inside?

Oh, and about the money, it doesnt matter. If a team wants to keep someone, they figure it out
