The 26-year-old O'Neill ranked first among all offensive linemen in run block win rate at 80.5% last season, according to research by ESPN Stats & Information and NFL Next Gen Stats. He was 26th among tackles in pass block win rate.

I did not know that, that is pretty fuggin impressive. MB... did you know that?

Wow, I'm a huge fan of drafting well and keeping the players you draft. Griffen, Hunter, Smith, Barr, Kendricks, Thielen...and now O'Neill. This is good news. But I agree with those who think it's a little high. I think BO is a top half tackle and a top third RT. Now he's getting paid like a top two tackle. But that's the market. It goes up with every contract and if that's what the market is, that's what the market is. It's far more important to...well, just read the first sentence. The Lions could learn a lot.

I did not know that. I knew that, like most of our linemen, he was a better run blocker than pass blocker, but 1st among ALL NFL linemen in run block wins? That's something I'm sure his agent used to get him his money. Someone should let PFF in on that.

that was my first thought... to high, but until I see the structure I am reserving judgement since there will be the brinks truck coming in 2 years. So as long as it isnt front loaded it likely wont hurt to much in the way of us doing things down the road... of course his agent will want a new deal in 3 years when the guaranteed money is gone so...

It is a commitment to a rising star who has been a great find and shown great development.

With the cheap rookie contracts of everyone else on the line. They can show some extra love right now.

He seems like the sort of guy who will refuse to let them down. Great resign and a lot of potential to come

Wow, someone in the national media actually cares to notice. Now, Mike, go look at the line the Packers will be starting on Sunday.
