I don't think there's a reason to do anything at this point. He might get restructured though. His cap hit this year is $26M. But I think when the time comes you just extend him until he retires. As we've seen, good right tackles aren't easy to find. At only 29, he's probably got another 4 or 5 season left at minimum.

That will be a lot of money tied up in the oline is what I am thinking.

No doubt. But honestly, that's where I want the cap space spent IMO....on both lines. Every single person at every position benefits from that, every skill player, every cornerback. Everyone.

You will have to pay JJ and Turner as well in 2 years or so. You have Addison as well. I am starting to think... we need to win a damn ring on his rookie deal or we may not get one.

I don't think the plan is to keep Addison. You pay the best WRer in the NFL in Jefferson and your WR2 becomes much easier to procure as a byproduct. I think that's Tai. Turner? Hell, he's got to show he's worth a second contract, remains to be seen.

I think Turner showed enough the end of last season to believe he will just get better this year. I am always thinking of the cap and what it looks like later on. I think I just want to see a great product and even an appearance in the SB on JJs rookie deal. We've seen teams do that model, and it looks as though we are following that. I kept hearing over the year with the Vikings just getting aging QBs to fill the gap. Why not get a rookie QB and make a run with their rookie deal. Well, we get to now see it and let's see how it goes.
