Overpaying for mid-range talent will be at an all-time high next month. Bad year to have a lot of cap room.

I’ll say it again, louder for those in back, Trey Smith will be getting OT money. Not a hot take but one based in history.

It will be OT money....until the next OT comes due....who will get QB money...until the next QB comes due...and so on and so on. Prefer to diversify our spending than spend the biggest chunk of it on the least impactful position in football.

I'm not sure about that. Watching very little run game and inside pressure against the QB all year, I'll take IOL for $800, Alex.

Yeah, we're definitely in need of a serious upgrade there. Not saying it's not important. Just that it's not AS important as positions like WR, CB, DT, OT, C, and on down the list. In fact, I'll dig it up if I can find it, but a few years ago, someone did a study and ranked positions by importance or impact on the outcome of a game. Guard ranked ahead of only nose tackle in terms of importance. Obviously scheme changes this for some teams, and some positions (RB for example)--evolve based on trends.
