Xavier should be a top priority contract that doesn’t take too much CAP room.
A top priority player is a starter- Filo is not a starter here.
if anything, maybe some NFL team will take a long look at his Aaron Donald game day tape and decide to give him an acceptable contract as a " serviceable" type starter.
But it wont be a big contract as what Maliek Collins will likely get.
I think once FA period opens up, Joe Looney could actually get a reasonable contract to start somewhere. Teams need and want OL guys that offer game experience
and versatility to play both C and OG. and at this stage of his career, this is his last chance hurrah at having a decent contract.
That's why guys like developmental guys like Andy Redmon and Brandon Knight will come in so big and important
Sua Filo barely made the team last year only because serious injuries to McGovern, but with Gov's return, and team apparently high on Redmon/ Knight that further moves
Filo down the depth chart and could be likely off the team roster altogether depending upon Looney FA status.
For the sake of further quality depth, vet experience, familiarity with Kellen-offense, and the admirable work he did vs Donald, I'd much rather have him back than Leary.
but i'm not throwing out top dollars at a guy that's expected to be that far down the depth chart. .
