Penei Sewell Gets New Deal

[exciter]

I'm not sure that LT/RT is as different as it used to be. Lots of teams are primarily putting their best edge player over the RT these days, the Cowboys being one of them.

Still shouldn’t matter. Most teams still run their base with the RT getting TE help more often and the LT still playing on an island more than any other OL position!

He looks like a surefire HOFer if he stays healthy .

Micah’s draft right? Will be interesting to see iff Micah makes any comments.

lions gave out two different 100m deals on the same day? Big and Little Enos keep telling us such things are impossible

I remember we used to have this guy names Tyron Smith. Been 1 of the top 3 LT’s in the last 10 years. Sure, missed some games, but what a contract.

Eagles don't have a salary cap

They balance it off by not paying for any quality cornerbacks.

When did they say that? Link?

 

[Verdict]

The problem with the Cowboys isn’t that they overpay everyone. They may enter into a very team friendly deal a player like Tyron Smith but then piss it off overpaying an also ran like Tyrone Crawford. Or Jason Witten past his prime. Or Zeke when it’s doubtful that he will ever live up to his contract.

Detroit going all in today with new deals for St. Brown earlier and now Sewell.

They're smart.
Get these deals done now, before new deals reset the market at these positions ad they have to pay even more.
The cap is skyrocketing, salaries are going to continue to rise.
The Cowboys on the other hand.....

In my book, Sewell was literally the best LT prospect of the past 10 years, and he hasn't disappointed in the NFL at all. How in the world did the Lions get this guy at #7.

No they just have a better GM and salary cap guru

 

[ElGatoGrande]

I guess keeping your QB1 safe and protected is pretty valuable

nope, way overrated, just like run blocking

Good question. Same way the Cowboys got Lamb I guess.

I was shocked he fell that far too. I thought Atlanta was going to take him at #4 but they were convinced that Pitts was the reincarnation of Antonio Gates so they took him instead

Surprisingly the only tackle taken in the top five since 2015 is Andrew Thomas of the Giants.
